Gus must have pissed someone off at CBS sports for the knuckleheads in charge to even think about keeping the best announcer they have off the air. There must be a pecking order or something that is being practiced there. The fact of the matter is, Gus brings excitment to the games with his style of game calling. Billy packard is a know it all and boreing. Jim Nance is cute , pretty, and a monk. James Brown is a nice guy but boreing as well. People want to see the upsets that will play out in the tuornament each year and they want to hear Gus calling it.

How about basketball - Bill "I know everything" Walton, Billy "Where's the buffet?" Packer or any of the slew of guys you cannot remember? Is he any worse than Chris Berman? Or worse yet, Joe Buck & Tim McCarver (a.k.a. the St. Louis Cardinals wonder twins) or Larry Merchant and Jim Lampley (a.k.a. two guys who have never been a fight in their life announcing boxing)? I think not!

He calls NFL games like his kid is involved in each play. His excitement is unmatched by anyone in the booth today. I literally check the broadcasting parings in the paper on Friday each week just to see what game he's calling as to be sure I catch it. Steve Tasker is a nice compliment too. Gus Rocks!

I totally agree though - he brings the rhythm of the street to the broadcast booth. ahahahahaha Gus is my cousin, I sure hope he hasn’t read any of these comments.

Ron Franklin (ESPN) is Saturday night college football! I can't stand a College World Series game without Sean McDonough. Gus Johnson means March Madness!! No matter the teams or the seeds, his game is always the one to watch! There's seemingly a buzzer beater on every shot! Come on CBS, you've got some really good guys but Gus is your A player!! P.S. When I hear Dick Enberg, I think of Sunday afternoons with the Broncos hosting the Raiders! Soothing but not Gus! There’s certain voices that match certain sports!
