I loved it, it should be mandatory for all announcers to have cash on the game. Didn't bother me at all that they were pulling for ASU, hell at the end I was cheering of the guy to shoot a 3 and for us to score one more time. You can't take it serious, just entertainment.... to each their own, but I loved it.
But it's not an entertainment game for fun. It's a game that counts.
How old are you? I’m just curious whether the younger crowd likes it while us old bastards don’t.
50... I love a sports book so it reminds me of that.
As if that’s not enough, there’s nothing like casually tossing in a comment during the broadcast about making a $2k bet as if it’s an amount that you wipe your *** with on a normal day. Was definitely getting Kardashian vibes throughout the game as I asked myself… how in the 17 are these guys famous?
The announcers are not on the court playing and neither am I, so why can't it be entertaining? The game was out of reach when they started hollering at the player to shoot. Guess we look at sports different, I view it all as entertainment.
They have influence in the younger market. Mississippi State being linked to Barstool puts the university in front of a bunch of teenagers and potential basketball players. The broadcast wasn't for me because I have young kids, but a high school kid sees it and says I can go to State and play in games like the Barstool classic. I can meet Big Cat and El Presidente. It is all about getting our name out there and letting people know we are not stuck in the mud of the past.
They only do one basketball night and one bowl game each year. It's not like they are trying to get into the same business as ESPN, and the commentator portion is not really a money maker for them. I agree it was a bit annoying at times, but I've seen Dave and Dan announce some games/fights that were funny as hell. It was not their best night I agree. Dave needs to stop throwing 100k on November college basketball games and maybe he would have been in a better mood and made it more enjoyable.
I didn’t know the commentators had an impact on the result of the game.
Dude, it was on youtube for free. Literally the easiest app to watch ANYTHING on. It was even easier for me to watch this than navigating the ESPN app. Even my parents (in their late 60's) found it easy to watch.
They were trying to influence the game as a sponsor and commentator for their gambling addiction
Y'all have money? I know fish and ds are rolling but I figured most of this board was the poors. The high dollar folks are over on the pay boards
The athletic program makes $$$ by playing this game.
I guess Glfr doesn't understand the popularity and reach that Barstool has with young people. I get it's not everyone's cup of tea, and at times I get
that crappy new app, YouTube. Yeah they probably wont make it as long Arnett
And the players, coaches and officials treated it that way. The announcers really do not have to
I agree but I heard Dave say something to the effect that is the last year that are doing it and Barstool Bowl
Actually, this did sort of concern me. You’ve basically got the promoter of the event, one of the play by play announcers, actively trying to influence parts of the game because he made a bet on it.
Maybe if he had started firing 3s left and right but he didn't attempt one, that I can remember, down the stretch when they were yelling
O wait, it just hit me. Glfr is a barstool/Dave hater because Dave goes on Tucker and he's in that group who despises barstool because they don't tote water for the left like every other giant entertainment outlet.
Collins didn’t, but what’s to say the next guy won’t be influenced?
We get it. You don’t like white rich successful people.
You dont think he heard "TOSS IT 17" in an empty stadium?
You aren’t allowed to get mad a glfr when you think he hijacks a conversation if you are going to say crap like this
Raising new generation of entitled douche bag frat bros and degenerative gamblers
"I can help Big Cat and El Presidente make money based directly on my play."
I get it, and I am not defending Dave. I am just stating the facts about the market today. It is all about building a brand. The way to make money is by getting your name out there. Some of the biggest earners in NIL have the biggest social media followings. Dave brings eyes to your profile. I don't like it but it is the world we live in. It is capitalism and marketing at its finest.
Politics have fried your brain. Please don't make a thread about how good or ****** a sports broadcast is bc of their politics (and made no reference to in the broadcast).
I don’t get mad at glfr for hijacking convos.
