They're pretty solid...another reason to stay in and watch on tv I suppose.

This! Dakich is an A1 jerk but doesn't mind being called one either. He's not someone full of vugarity on the air but in real life he is one of the biggest

you could ever meet.

I had quickly tired of Dakich. Until he did this....

Calling out the biggest living hypocrite gives him a pass from me.

Tirico is good at his job. His level of research and situational awareness is top-notch. I love the way he calls NFL games (hard to do with Gruden babbling all game about how great everyone is). He's always shown a deep understanding of the rules, as well as player/team backgrounds. The same can be said about the NBA.

Not too familiar with how he calls college basketball - he doesn't do much of it, but I expect him to do a lot more research about the teams than the usual schlups at ESPN.

Also, Dakich is from Merrillville, IN. Might be a little familiar with Valpo.

Should have had Adam Amin do pbp!

Ugh Dakich is the worst. I like Tirico, but man, I wish they picked someone else to do color for the game.

I like Tirico, and DD at least knows the game. Don't know if i'm going or not, but if I do i'll be recording just to hear the voice of MNF call my Saders!

Dakich was talking very positively about Valpo on his broadcast the other night. One of his sleeper teams for the tournament.
