I've never been a fan of Joel Klatt.... until....

[jsenleo]

I listened to this....

He was the color man during the IU/OSU game and several times I wanted to jump through my TV's screen and knock the shit out of him....

But... after watching this analysis of the IU/OSU game and where IU stands, changed my mind.... watch it all of the way through.

Totally agree! He was a big IU proponent all year and then during the game I thought he was the Buckeye color commentator. Geezus, I wanted to slap him and Gus through the screen. I guess he's back on the IU bus now. Not sure what was up with the game-call.

Everyone was rooting for OSU it was weird.

Klatt’s main point in his podcast was imo critical: based on the “sacrosanct” strength-of-schedule rankings and the “quality” of their respective losses, IU currently has a stronger case for playoff inclusion than Notre Dame, Miami or SMU.

Yeah, that’s a strong take. He’s always made good sense of things and stayed away from these idiotic hot takes. Buuuuuut, he was a clown on Saturday. And I’d be completely ok never being subjected to that loud mouth Gus Johnson ever again. Talk about a front runner!

I've taken an agnostic view of all commentators (excluding uni specific commentators)

Their gonna elevate for whoever is doing well at a particular moment.

Obviously, Saturday it was better to tune in Fish an live with the delay in video.

Agree... Klatt at times was a clown on Saturday but this makes up for it, IMO>....

As for Gus Johnson .... never have liked him.... his phony "enthusiasm" makes me want to barf on my screen.... On the other hand I felt he was always pretty kind toward IU, all things considered..... but, seriously, who talks like that in real life... no one.

One thing I learned in my 40 some years in sports broadcasting is that the best announcers sound... natural. Johnson is far from that.

I won't get into why I think he gets placed in some of the key games....

Klatt is a solid analyst of college football. He is right alot more then he is wrong.

I never realized how much he repeats himself until Saturday. He has a few phrases and observations that he uses repeatedly as some sort of crutch.
