Shut up Bill Walton!

[HogAllMighty]

He's adding nothing but jibberish to the broadcast.

[phadedhawg]

srsly...that was the most painful first half due to commentary ever

[hldstdy]

he's set a new world record for the most mentions of volcanoes during  sports broadcast.

[HogAllMighty]

He's worst than the old Raycom guys.

[Dropkick]

Probably trippin

[synthartist69]

Keeps talking garbage

[MrKlem10]

Sounds like he is straight off the bottle

[DeltaBoy]

He sucks!

[chanhog1996]

I'm glad that he actually knew our players names

[hoginla]

He's the greatest announcer in the history of the world

[Hog Pharm]

I don't know why they kept going split screen. Do we really need to see the announcers??

[lumphog]

Probably trippin

Mushrooms

[Garon111]

I love listening to him.

[Lard]

That's the worst basketball production I've ever seen.  The split screens, the jibberish from Walton its was bad.  However the Hogs were good!

[phadedhawg]

i could probably have handled the inane blabbering and his lists of states, mountains, etc, but when they did split screen during game action so we could watch him list things...that was a bit much

[JIHawg]

Walton tries to pick arguments with the other announcer.  He's somewhat of a bully.

[3kgthog]

To sum up how bad it was...

Bill: "Are you a grandfather yet?"

PBP guy: "My kids are 10 and 7."

My ears have yet to stop bleeding.

[lynbug]

If he is on our telecast team tomorrow I'll have to listen to our broadcasters and silence him.  I think he's either slipping or maybe a little tipsy because anyone connected to sports would know not to spend 80-90% of the game talking about anything BUT the play by play.

[Danny J]

To sum up how bad it was...

Bill: "Are you a grandfather yet?"

PBP guy: "My kids are 10 and 7."

My ears have yet to stop bleeding.

That was the funniest thing I have ever heard during a game broadcast.

He is a terrible pbp guy but honestly I would understand the game without any pbp so I actually enjoy all the laughs he gives me. I would love to invite Bill, Saban and Schaeffer to dinner one evening and secretly film it. It would go viral and probably top 5 billion views.

[lynbug]

If he wants to talk about his personal opinions and experiences during timeouts...fine.  During the game please stick to the pbp.  At times I thought the other guy was kind of embarrassed.  JMO.

[Hawgphish]

But on a positive note, now you know that asheville, NC is a premier bike riding destination...

[Potosihog]

That broadcast looked like a high school kid presentation when they just discovered all the cool tricks of PowerPoint. Uggg

But so glad we won

[JayHog]

Terrible broadcast. ESPN should be ashamed of themselves for rolling that idiot out there. Meanwhile, people with an actual talent for play-by-play calling sit unemployed. Smh.

[KlubhouseKonnected]

Mushrooms

Booming

[hogwildest]

He's truly bad at his job, but I thought it was hilarious at the same time.  I'd 100% listen to him ramble over a game between 2 teams I didn't care about, but would hate to have him call an important Hogs game.

[Piggie]

I love listening to him.

I love your sarcasm.

[Dudeman]

That was the worst commentated game I've ever watched. They didn't care about the game. They didn't prep for the game.They both acted like they were freakin stoned. I know because I used to smoke it years ago. Walton started talking about solar panels and other teams and all kinds of stuff other than the game for most of the game it seemed. Unacceptable in my opinion.

[lasthog]

People avoid him at parties.

[Hawgdrummer7]

I just kept waiting for, "Ever seen a grown man man naked?"

[RagingHawgOn]

Good gawd the discussion about bikes was insane! Free valet service for bikes blah blah blah. ESPN hit a new low.

[gangstaback]

"What number state is Oregon in terms of entrance into the union?"

"No city in Arkansas applied for Amazon headquarters."

"Number 10 should come in..."
"He's already in there John! In the black!"

Let's never play on this network again.

[Kevin McPherson]

I get Bill Walton's schtick, but it's too much. ESPN has not and will not do anything to reel him in or tone it back, it's what you get when that giant hippy does color! The split-screen action was infuriating, though ... arghhh!

[King Kong]

He's the greatest announcer in the history of the world

Amen

[Springfield_MO_Razorback]

Too much split screen tv with him. I was getting pissed each time after a commercial they would split screen with Walton to let him finished his story. NTS, we do not care, give us the full screen of basketball. We are not tuned in to hear Bills old arse stories.

[Bogghawg]

He's the greatest announcer in the history of the world

Just ask him...

[Ben Steiger]

Roxy was clearly aggravated with him... to the point of disrespect. What a broadcast...

[hawginbigd1]

He's adding nothing but jibberish to the broadcast.

You guys must not watch a lot of BB outside hogs, this is standard Walton. I don't care for it but some must.

[CabotHog87]

"Oklahoma will probably end up winning this game by 10"

"That was a good upset win"
