I've spent the past day and a half watching non stop basketball. I've seen games on CBS, ESPN, ESPN2, and FSN. I've got to say CBS basketball announcers are the best. I associate the excitement and joy of March Madness with the voices of Clark Kellogg, Verne Lundquist, Ian Eagle, Jim Spanarkel, Gus Johnson, Len Elmore and of course Greg Gumble. I associate Dick Vitale with an obnoxious old guy that thinks he's Gods gift to college basketball, and the FSN announcers just seem so small town in comparison. CBS has it right. They've got it all, from the best theme song that gives me goosebumps and tears every time I hear it, to the on air talent, to the in studio hosts, it's just all spectacular! Props to CBS! Last night Dickie V quoted Tina Turner's song "Simply the Best". It was in reference to Duke.... I rolled my eyes. However, I feel it is appropriate for CBS! Dickie V and all the local guys can go away for months as from here on out all I need for ultimate bliss is the CBS crew:)
