I wonder if there's any correlation between people who like Bill Walton and people who aren't sold on Gary Andersen...... NONE... I'm sold on being a good hire... for now. But, lots of stuff happening real early in a tenure is typically not a positive... so color me "sold... but, wait and see if it ACTUALLY was a good hire." Results not reasons...

I was just watching the replay and Walton said, "That was as great a shot as I have ever seen." And he is never prone to hyperbole...(sarcasm punctuation mark)
I don't know how many times on Saturday I yelled at my TV, "shut the hell up Walton and let the play by play guy do his freaking job!" He kept going on about inane things like iTunes and some guy who designed the coast highway bridges. It reminded me of an SNL skit.
I personally love the guy... his inane rants are much better than the talking heads who think they know it all and have the low down on every player. And those who turn the college broadcast into a NBA scouting report are the worst. He's spacey and off track for sure... but, he keeps the game in perspective and when you are at the game live he's a joy to watch. Versus Cal every time we made a great defensive stand or played team ball he just crossed his arms, leaned back, and smiled a huge grin... could envision his, "... that's the way basketball should be played..." mantra. Plus he is so complimentary to the State of Oregon, OSU and the team. He's totally unique as a color guy. I get he rubs some people the wrong way. For me, I usually tune out most color commentators because they are so generic. Legendary player, great person and he brings a totally different perspective to the broadcasts.

His shtick is old and tiresome. To you. But, he's sincere not a shtick at all.
