KU fans..talk to me about Bob Davis
 

Do you like listening to this guy on the radio? As a Royals announcer I thought he was horrible. I'm not a KU fan but I do listen to the games while in the car if MU isn't playing. But I really have a hard time listening to this guy call a game.

KU could be up by 18 with 5 min left to go in the 1st and Davis will call a made 3-pt shot as if KU was up by 1 with 10 seconds to go. Every play, every turnover is "the game". One game a KU was trapped with the ball and Davis is screaming at the top of his lungs "HE NEEDS HELP!" almost like he was trying to tell the players on the floor.


Anyhow, I think the guy is just over the top but I'd like to hear what KU fans think of him? FTR, I am a die hard Chiefs fan and I can't stand Mitch Holthus either so I am not trying to make this a bias thing.

Sorry, Native. This thread has nothing to do with race, so move along.

He's awful. I think most fans dislike him. He's way too biased, even for a KU announcer. And he often gets calls completely wrong.

He is what every home town announcer should be for whatever team..

He is extremely biased, dramatic and some what annoying to opposing/home team fans. Same with any college announcer for any college team.

Piper was my favorite

This bias I don't have so much of an issue with though he is extremely biased. It's just the over-enthusiastic way in which he calls the game.

I mean listen to how Denny Matthews calls the Royals going to the World Series and compare that to Davis calling a 3 putting KU up by 20.

What's a radio?

I have to admit it is funny how many times I've heard him call a foul on the opposing team only to be so disappointed to find out it's on KU.

Kinda like TV with no pictures.

Eh, he is what he is... He will probably call KU games until his fat Andy Reid sized ass dies....

I have no doubt the University loves him from a propaganda standpoint. Was just curious what the fans thought about him.

Denny Matthews was a great announcer .....

If you're using Denny Matthews as the standard for the level of enthusiasm you want in an announcer, you should just watch the games on TV with the sound off. It's the same thing.

Like I said hes okay, but could do without...
