    twang or lisp?

    Being that rocket commentators are hard to come by and we have to choose between a twang and lisp, what would you prefer to listen to through out a whole game?

    Twang?
    Lisp?

    He's not scouting. He is calling the Liberty vs Penn State womens game on ESPN2 right now.

    I don't know but the guy who commentated with Bill today at Minnesota got on my nerves! I think it's his slur or low tone, not sure.. also throwing up all those statistics....how many times did Bill say okay enough with it!

    i can actually tolerate van now, he's kinda funny but newlin was the guy i always wanted when calvin was out. he has a lisp but he's extremely knowledgeable and a good listen.

    calvin is of course my all-time favorite.

    I agree - Big M- Mike Newlin is very knowledgeable- can break it down with excellent analysis. If you can get past the speech impediment-lisp-he is good....

    I hear his wife is hot...
