      C'mon folks. This should be a happy thread. All the Woog bashers have finally gotten their wish. Rejoice.

        You guys should either,
        A. Go to the games like I do so you don't have to watch the games on TV
        or
        B. Get Dish Network like me so even if you did stay home you wouldn't be able to watch it

        In all seriousness, I have watched about five minutes of the DVR of one game and Lapanta pretty much made me want to vomit.
        "It ain't over, baby! And that took only six seconds!"

        USCHO gives me another reason to not do work while I am at work.

        Everything is Hill's fault.....

          Frank was far more annoying than Woog.

          I am rejoicing!

            Good to hear. But, Woog is the one who got bashed all the time, not Frank.

            Yep. This one goes in the "be careful what you wish for" category. I'm expecting a lot of love for Lapanta out of the "Woog Basher" contingent.

              Frank was always the one who was boisterous when something good happened for the Gophers (which meant something bad for Bucky). That's why I associate him with negative thoughts. I get it that he's the home team announcer, but I can't help that he annoyed me because of it. I would assume that you'd be annoyed with our homer announcers (if we had any annoying ones), if you were subjected to listening to them.

              Woog was kind of your Harry Caray. Just a befuddled old man who would say the goofiest things. He was good for a laugh.

              Frank made me want to cut off my ears.

                Coming from a fan of a team who used to have Tom Sagissor as an announcer, I find this post amusing.

                  Hockey, by nature is a difficult sport to commentate, either play by play or color. The game sounds like a continuous mistake, due to the changes in puck possession and the speed in which they happen. That's why there are few really good ones at the NHL level, let alone the college level. Of the ones we do have, most of them are bland and lack the kind of colorful connections that resonate with viewers. Some fans want a vociferous cheerleader for the home team, others wan't a silky-voiced neutral. I think there is room in the middle of those two extremes. Doug and Frank were anything but smooth, but the level of fun they seemed to have in the booth made up for the often-poor delivery. Personally, I enjoyed them as an antidote to the blandness of most others out there.

                    You didn't like SAGGS?!?

                    What's wrong with you?

                    The difference is that we readily admitted that he was terrible where most of you still try(tried) to defend your two morons on the mic.

                      I still tease Saggs about his ugly red sports jacket. For goodness sakes everything he owns is red.

                        I have talked to excutive producers for Fox Sports and they tell me this season will be one big tryout. Just a hunch Anthony Laplanta stays and the jury is still out for the color guy. I asked why the big change and they explained Gopher hockey needs a facelift because everybody was growing old and stale.

                              Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                                Hennessy has had multiple great moments. Like when he almost got in a fight with a Yale fan on the air.
