Dykes on Razorback Basketball

[javajockey]

Bo was interviewing Jimmy Dykes on his show today.  They talked mainly about the Nutt garbage but as he was about to let Dykes go, Bo stated that he would like to have him back to talk about Pel and Arkansas basketball.  Dykes responded by saying something like:  "I watched two hours of practice today and let me tell you, It is a new day for Razorback Basketball."  This was music to my ears because whatever you think about Dykes, you have to admit the guy knows basketball!  I can't wait!  Go Hogs Go!   :razorback:

That's the truth and then some.  I would rather listen to Jimmy Dykes call a game than ANYONE, ANYWHERE!!!!

That was definitely uplifting to hear!

Jimmy D knows his basketball. So that is good news. We needed a new day in Razorback Basketball.

I was thinking isn't that the case with all women's basketball teams?

him and that Brad Nesler are awesome to listen to when they announce games....

Brad Nessler is another great one.

I personally cannot stand listening to Billy Packer, and after last year's tourney selection tirades, I refuse to listen to Vitale about anything.  Bill Raftery is another one whose announcing skills need a little brushing up.

Thank God Jimmy said that. You can tell just by watching his demeanor and talking to him that Pelphrey is the disciplinarian that Stan Heath never was. Pel is a player's coach, but he can dig the spurs in when he needs to. It's a welcome change.

Raftery has relied on "Send it in Jerome" to support his career. Every call he makes he tries to bring back the glory from his only known phrase. You can tell he is trying too hard which in turn makes him awful.

Call me crazy, but I wouldn't mind seeing Nolan Richardson on a college pre-game show or something. He's got some good knowledge, good stories, and he was pretty funny on that coaches roundtable they had on ESPN a year or two ago.

We need a good day Period!

[slopinhogs]

if Jimmy says it I believe it.

[Quite Frankly]

I can tell you that the practices are simply not comparable to the past few years.

For one thing, the entire staff has a vocab that uses many of George Carlin's 7 words.  It' ain't church there!

Jimmy D is a rising star.  He's an outstanding analyst and knows his stuff...but I still remember when he had his afro back in the Eddie Sutton days.

Jimmy Dykes is great on ARSN and ESPN.   Even though he supposed to be neutral when he announces our games on ESPN, I am proud to have as one of our own.   An Arkansan.

Jimmy's branching out.  He anchored the Krystal's burger eating contest in Chattanooga.

I agree that he and Nessler are a great duo.

He's also done some outdoor related games on ESPN.   Logrunning, dog jumping, etc.
