It looks like Awful Announcing published round ups of bowl announcers on this corresponding Friday in 2022 and 2023, so we should know today.

I think no matter who it is, we need some Kenny's 2 Pennies for some sideline reporting or expert commentary. Here is his latest.

It was so much more accepted with Bill because it was easy to assume he was stoned.A Gus Johnson vs. Bill Walton (miss ya Bill!) “best play ever in the history of the game” off

Wait, there are seriously people that don't enjoy listening to Gus Johnson?
I guess some people just hate joy and puppies.

It’s funny. Some over the top announcers I like, such as Gus. And others, such as Chris Berman and Dick Vitale (I’m referring to them in their capacity as broadcasters; I’m sure they are fine human beings) I can’t stand.

Yeah, I guess it's hard to have respect for a guy that doesn't do any research before games, and tries to make up for it by being loud and exuberant. He's a disservice to the profession.

I don’t get it. I love Gus and his enthusiasm for a normal 7 yard rush.
You just seem like the life of the party

See what's funny here is beauty is truly in the eyes of the beholder, because my complaint about many announcers is that they sound like average Joes working an average job that they hate when getting paid to sit courtside at games talking about sports should be super fun, and no amount of sports or player knowledge compensates for an announcer that sounds like they hate what they do (Billy Packer always sounded miserable, for example).
So I love the Gus Johnsons and Bill Waltons (RIP) that actually brings some enthusiasm and energy.
