I see Quinton Day down there at the bottom...reminds me of when ORU recently whooped UMKC and the sports announcers gave player of the game to Quinton Day. Come on I know they are UMKC announcers but they lost and handily. Although the worst home town announcers are the Chicago White Sox announcers they almost made the game unbearable for any team playing them to watch. Also one last thing can Keith Jackson retire again already, how many wrong calls can one annoucer make in a game and still be calling games. Alright I shall step off of my soap box.

I thought exactly the same thing while watching the UMKC game. Tried turning down the volume and listening on the web, but it was a few seconds behind and confusing. Had to bear the way-too-biased UMKC announcers the whole game. Say "yuk" twice.

Folks, chill out a bit. The Player of the Game is always given to a member of the home team in these radio broadcasts. That's the way everybody does it.
