I know I'm spoiled by having just about every game on TV, and I haven't been subjected to listening to our games on the radio. However, these two guys are as about as bad as you can get. Chuck needs to stick to baseball, and the other clown needs a giant oxygen tank, he sounds like he's gasping on his last breath every time he makes a comment. I thought Bill Walton was bad on TV, but these two need to be doing the Fordyce Red Bugs game. No offense to Fordyce.

This is nowhere even close to as bad as Bill Walton.

Without them being seen on TV, I'll take your word for it. But they are awful.

The former assistant bb coach that does the color just plan STINKS

He is almost unlistenable. Thank goodness most games are on TV.

I'm glad it's a blowout, I had to turn it off. Couldn't take the agony any longer.

It been so long since I listened to a game on the Radio I am pretty well I'm with the guys!

I will check my app. I refuse to listen to radio. Sucks to not be able to see the game but we will be back to normal on the 19th.

I'm sure it will be fun for the people in attendance. We will have to hear how awesome it was by word of mouth.

No highlights on ESPN for this game.

Chuck does ok on it. Gives the score and stats along the way quite well. Good job knowingbthe names immediately, which isn't simple in basketball.

Got in my pickup one night to go to Kroger and the radio was tuned to 103.7 and the BB game was on.  Kroger is less than a 2 minute drive and by the time I turned onto Cantrell I had to turn it off.  I would rather listen to Snoop Dogg or 50 Cent (and I deplore rap) than listen to that color announcer.  Who hired that clown?

Hate me if you want, but I think Coach Z does an awesome job! He is an ultimate homer, and that's what I want to hear on the radio. If you've never listened he routinely gets on the refs whenever they get close enough to hear him. Also gives good insight as to what we are doing as it relates to our schemes. I think some of you like to find anything, and everything to complain about

Tell your dad that his voice is cringe worthy.

I agree.

I do miss the old combo of Rick and Mike, though. They worked good together.

Same here.  I love Coach Z!

1) He is 100% Razorback.
2) He gets in the game.  He goes after the officials if they make a bad call.
3) His voice is unique but sounds familiar - reminds me of watching the Razorbacks with my grandpa.
4) He pisses off the realists that rather hear someone bitch and moan about the Razorbacks (like they do).

If that's true, let's hope they T his ass up some time.  No business saying anything to an official and should stick to the facts.

he meant within the broadcast, not literally getting after the officials. Goodness.

coach Z is a nice guy but is the worse thing I have ever heard doing Razorback basketball

I don't just dislike his 'radio voice'....I hate it with a passion

Glad to read who color announcer was.  Reminded me of Mack Brown every time I heard his voice.  GO HOGS!!!

I like them both. Try listening to other SEC games for comparison and then get back with me

I was traveling recently and was listening to a game being broadcast.  We have no idea how spoiled we are. Chuck does a great job.

I also really like Coach Z. I like him as a person and he does okay on radio.

His job is to describe the action, not get on the officials.  Guess it's OK to criticize them but just sounds like sour grapes, especially when losing.

We must have a good team, nobody is griping about the HOGS, just the announcers. :) :)

Doesn't matter, you could bring the top college basketball announcing team in the country to do our games, we would STILL get a thread on how those clowns suck doing our games.................

I doubt ANY college is beating down the door to hire Chuck & Muck to broadcast their games.

my apologies. He did say that. I misread.

Bkhardicars

I like Coach Z's homerism , but he does not to need to feel obligated to say something every time Chuck takes a breath. If he talked about half as much it would be ok...

I just don't think the average guy on here knows the difficulty of play by play. Chuck and Zim are certainly better than most.

I couldn't disagree more. I think they do a fine job. I enjoy Chucks pbp.

I agree that Coach Z sounds a lot like Mack Brown, with the slight gravel factor. I noticed it last night for the first time.

I don't have a problem with Chuck although I think he's definitely better in baseball and football. Coach Z is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. To the point I just can't listen. His voice is annoying AF!

cableguy

Coach Z is awesome. The passion in his voice and his analysis of the game are second to none.

Absolutely agree, I love listening to Coach Z, so sick of the guys on TV who only want to gush about DKe, NC, or Kentucky when they aren't even playing.

razorback1829

Love Chuck and Zim. Really starting to be a good team. I love having a homer who is an insider as someone who can keep us in the loop as to what's going on, knows the refs, and says often what we are thinking (minus profanity).

Smalltownhog95

I like Chuck because he at least gets excited for big plays. Other Sec announcers are too Ho Hum. I dislike Zimmerman. Just dont think he brings good clear info like a color man should. But I'd rather listen to Zimmerman forever than Bill Walton one more time. I'll never watch another game with that fool on.
Wait a minute this isn't chinese checkers.. This isn't even regular checkers!

hogsanity

It is fine to have a homer announcing/doing commentary if they are good, Zimmerman is terrible.
