What's your favorite Jimmy Dykes moment?

[Toga]

I think he said something about putting Cal's balls in his mouth. Basketballs I assumed perhaps.

LOL - what the hell was he talking about?

 

[thebigeast44]

When I muted the TV.

some locker room story I think. I don't know really?????

 

[Rocco]

Dykes: Southerland hasn't put the ball on the floor even once all night!

He also said "first time Southerland's had to bounce the ball all night"...

what is this ing kindergarden?

 

[Jake]

I'd rather listen to 10 hours of Vitale doing a unc-duke game that 10 minutes of Dykes.

 

[jordoo]

Space and Pace

 

[Rocco]

They need to have a segment on espn that tracks all of Dykes' incredible like they used to do on Around The Horn. That segment would be killer.

 

[Marsh01]

Im surprised he didnt wear one of these while broadcasting the game

"40 minutes of heck"

 

[br801]

"Michael Carter Williams slithers to the goal."

He had everyone slithering into the lane...what's up with that? I don't think I've heard a smooth basketball move described as slithering before, and I know I've never heard about 6 different plays in the same half described that way.

I saw Pearl Washington slither through the defense on numerous occasions.

"40 minutes of heck"

To be fair, that was O'Brien.

I loved the "MCW is Syracuse's only point guard". Board debates aside, Dykes should probably realize that Triche played an entire 30-win season at point.

just got back from watching a bad DePaul team beat a putrid Auburn team, am watching the game off of DVR. About 7 minutes into the game, when speaking of the Arkansas offense:
"...when they find a crack, they're sticking their nose right in there..."

Dykes really makes me long for the days of Dickie Simpkins.

I'm just now watching the recorded game, and my favorite has been mentioned, re: MCW...

"If he had a jump shot he might be a lottery pick in the next draft."

Um, Jimmy, he has a jump shot, and either way, he will STILL be a lottery pick. And also, yes, we are a top 10-12 team. Divided by two.

 

[Shermthegeneral]

I love how a lot of people muted their tv's! I thought about it at least 5 times.

"He's handing out tickets at the movie theater"

 

[STEVEHOLT]

To be fair...having followed Cal so closely, Dykes would be the authority on what slithering looks like.

 

[Cuseman78]

Divided by 4. Yes, thats 2.5-3ish math majors.

 

[CorduroyG]

One of the funniest threads I've ever read on here. We need to keep this going, every time dykes is calling a game just add his brilliant commentary to this thread.

The mcw lottery pick comment killed me, if only he had a jump shot

All gems these dykes lines. My dad and I started keeping count of all the dumb stuff he said.

My favorite was that Syracuse is always a good road team because Jim Boeheim has great demeanor. Yes dykes the team is good on the road because of the coaches demeanor. What an idiot.

 

[Cowtown]

Can I enter this one?

BTW, this was on a Hoya site, accompanied by the text ... "... Jimmy Dykes, the D-List announcer for ESPN2 ..."

 

[zibby]

"Syracuse is probably one of the top 10-12 teams in the country."

Even Ron Morris has SU rated higher than that.

 

[cuse522]

Did Jimmy Dykes slither his way down the sidewalk bearing his name, without yielding, on the campus of a school that could leave its conference for free to see a top 10-12 team, that is apparently going to pay $50M to leave the Big East, shoot the lights out (sans dribbling) on his Razorbacks, who didn't have a 14-1 run in them against a team with only one point guard who just might have played all 40 minutes for an unflappable head coach?

That tells you all you need to know.

 

[mantonio]

Better was when he went on to say "The SEC exit fee is $0 what does that tell you?" It tells me he needs to be punched in the face.
