    Gus Johnson is Ridiculous

    Acting like George Mason beating Villanova is some huge Cinderella story. Way to oversell it douche. Better team won. Villanova finally got that mercy killing they needed.

    Its one of the best game so far in the tourney and he hypes me when he commentates such suspense events though(excluding mma).

    I enjoy your posts, I think you are both smart and funny, but with all due respect Gus, and Gus and Len are brutal.

    But that's just me.

    It was a Musberger moment, since he pretty much backed GMU all the way through the second half (camera guys did too), but he's definitely near the top.

    His excitement is fine -although many times uncalled for, but don't sell this on being a big upset. Nova hasn't played good in two months and they choked this same way against South Florida. He probably called the Morehead State game in his bed last night on replay just so he could make some comment about Cinderella and her slipper.

    this game could have gone either way and nova just plane blew it having been in the driver's seat..not sure g mason is the better team

    I think these two teams could play 10 times and go 5-5 gainst each other

    I had nova and it screwed me bad cause this is the type of game one is just lucky to be on the winning side

    Love Gus, but he occasionally goes overboard making one think it's just an act. His call on Xavier/KSU last year though was epic.

    If you were on the losing end of it, Gus Johnson is the last person you want here. I'm assuming that's what happened.

    Gus Johnson and Kevin Harlan are the best in the business.

    Gus brings added excitement to the game. Other commentators can be very bland and boring...

    ^-- this. I second the motion. The motion is passed.
    I was pissed off that Gus wasn't working any of the games yesterday. Thank god they got him going today, he's the best at really capturing the moment and making dull moments interesting. Him with Len Elmore is class and excitement at bringing you a great broadcast.
    For your Gus Johnson listening pleasure:

    March Madness is what brings out the best in Gus...but his NFL calls were amazing too (Stokely down the sidelines, Jaguars miracle hail mary)

    Gus is the best, followed by Kevin Harlan. I'm also a huge Mike Tirico fan.

    Not a big fan of Tirico. He's a fantastic reporter, but his call is kind of bleh vs the greats.
    Harlan has a great call, I agree.
    What's funny is I _ALWAYS_ reference the STOKELY... DOWN THE SIDELINE call from Gus and it's not even in his top 10.
    Still, the mofo gives me chills. GOOO Gus.

    How can you not love Gus? Great energy and he know when to hype it up. When this guy first started I couldn't stand him but he's improved a ton and now is one of my favorites.

    Gus just seems to over hype, it was a great game, I bet he can over hype taking a sh*t.

    This was probably started to get a reaction know the majority of folks like how Gus plays the game. Bullshit sells and this is it.

    “George Mason: We are back and we are ready!” -- Gus Johnson

    Honestly, is there anything better than Gus Johnson calling an NCAA game in March? It seems cliché to talk him up at this point because his name is laden with ubiquitous praise in every dusty, web-filled crevice of the internet, but the man is the perfect soundtrack for college hoops in March.

    This was on full display during Friday afternoon’s George Mason-Villanova thriller.

    He perfectly captured the emotions of the fans watching at home during the game. His voice raising in octave as the Patriots chipped away at Nova’s 10 point lead, finally reaching a crescendo when Luke Hancock hit a 3-pointer with 21 seconds left to cap the run.

    All the things that make Johnson the best in the business -- pace, tone, emotion --came out during the final five minutes of that game.
