College Basketball: July 2008 Archives

By R.J. Gerber

Christmas has come early for this college basketball fan.

CBS Sports announced today that Billy Packer is out as lead analyst on college basketball coverage. Clark Kellogg is in.

And that's just fine with me.
The smug Packer should have been removed from doing the Final Four long ago. Yes, he knows the game. But the way he conveys it to viewers rubs me the wrong way. We don't need a person telling us things as if it's our first time watching hoops.

Billy's time has long passed.

As for Kellogg, he sometimes gets carried away, but he's a welcome addition to partner with Jim Nantz.

CBS executed the dunk shot with its announcement today.

Bring on the Packer-less Final Four.
