Bill Raftery is, hands down, my favorite analyst in any sport. The Eye should pair him with that schlub Nantz, if for no other reason than to inject a little personality into the broadcasts.

Onuaku is an absolutely beast inside but is only listed at 6′ 9″ and is playing the 5. That definitely would be their weak point on Defense is their size in size. Almost every time a Florida guard drove to the hoop last night, Onuaku would help on D and no one else was down low to stop an easy dunk. Think they would prolly be better off playing more man to man D and switch to the 2-3 zone once in awhile to change momentum.

Best two quotes from last night’s Alabama/Oregon blowout

(Graphic showing that the last pair of brothers to play for Alabama was in 1932)

Bilas- Which one did you guard?
Raftery- Ike was a little too quick for me.

Raftey- Didn’t Ronald get recuited for football?
Mcdonough- Yes! it looks like you are picking things up
Raftery- And it’s not the bill after you leave the restaraunt!

Butters, the Wisconsin game was on our local FSN here, although I’m sure that’s a regional thing

Ah, the stupid Bucks were on instead here in Madison

Cuse definitely looked good last night. 2-3 zone got picked apart a bit though, too many easy dunks for Florida. Thought Cuse played better D in man to man.

/go cuse
