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.

 

[Bucket Getter]

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.

How much will our SOS drop again after playing Purdue? Any guesses?

As soon as the Purdue bus rolls up to the stadium, our SoS drops to 697th. Is it too late to play Western Illinois again?

 

[Walt542]

Joe makes some very good points here. I wonder if the committee will look at any of this.

 

[Victorbmyboy]

Klatt is a Fox shill. Don’t get me wrong we need it. You will see a divide between espn and Fox commentators because of the media deals.

 

[OpenWheels]

I like Klatt's stumping for Indiana starting at about 2:15 Kicks in about disrespect more at 3:15.

Fans are the same everywhere. If a commentator points out shortcomings or weaknesses in a team (or its play) fans say they're biased. Its hard to be even-handed in a game when one team is outplaying the other and is a better team (at least on that particular Saturday).
