Heard that Bill Walton is color for our game tomorrow. Get ready for hearing about Grateful Dead, Conference of Champions(PAC 12), and God only knows. I love the guy, but I don't expect that he will know anything about the hogs.

Bill Walton is annoying as heck. Should've got Manny

JayHog

Yeah, Bill Walton's shtick is worn out

hawgball40

I think he's an annoying blowhard honestly. The last game he called i listened to was Ucla vs i believe ASU from either a year or two ago, and he basically trashed ASU the entire game while worshipping lonzo ball and all things UCLA. The other announcer was clearly annoyed and didn't have an oppurtunity to speak much. I'm sure he'll have a lot of hate for Arkansas on friday and spend half the game bloviating about UCLA.

sometimes it's a good and some times it's a schit

I don't think he shares the same political leanings as The Beach Boys.

A few years ago Walton called a Hog NIT game from the west coast. During the game, he did a great segment featuring Lance Weir from Walnut Ridge, who is a former Marine & was paralyzed in an accident on Spring River. Bill couldn't have been any more gracious in his tribute to Lance.

Didn't Walton do a game of ours a few years back? Seems like I remember him being very respectful of our team and our program.

I think I heard him mention WowWee Maui on the air during one of his rambling recollections. Probably has a medical cannabis card in his wallet, right behind his drivers license.
I spent most of my life drankin', gamblin', and chasing women, the rest I just wasted.

Gawd I hate listening to Bill Walton. Such a distraction to the game.

he really is the worst

I would be surprised if we don't hear several LONG tales of Bill and Phil Knight making historic ventures seeing how Bill was a Portland Trailblazer.

That's nice and very appreciated, but ive seen him trash other pac 12 programs  on air in one of his ucla tirades, and i think it was pretty classless.

I had posted i thought he had done a game a few years back. This is what I was trying to recollect. Thumbs up.

Ok this idiot just said George Zidek of UCLA made big nasty play like big sissy in championship game in 1995. I don't remember it that way.

Hogwop

So far Bill has been very complimentary of the Hogs, other than his "Big Sissy" comment.

devildog

I just wish he would shut up. All he talks about is himself and Portland Oregon.

pigbacon

Not sure, but Walton seems obnoxiously inebriated and play by play analyst seems like he'd like to back hand him and shut him up.

hoglady

He's been extremely positive toward the Hogs - especially Trey, Barford and Macon.
He did his homework and is quite knowledgeable about the Hogs.
I think he's done pretty good.

I'm on the west coast so I haven't been drinking yet.  Maybe that's the difference.

Agree. He knows what Arkansas is capable of in basketball and seems to respect the program, Nolan and Mike.

He is slamming Arkansas throughout the game.  He says they want UNC tomorrow, they will get their butts kicked by UNC.

This is kind of how I think it would go if I was announcing.
