2007-08 Preseason awards: Funniest College Basketball Announcers

Since so many websites and blogs are doing player of the year, freshman of the year, coach of the year type of awards, I decided to do something else: The Funniest College Basketball Announcers awards! And without any further delay, here they are:

1. The Trio of Bill Raftery, Jay Bilas and Sean McDonough (ESPN)
2. Marques Johnson (FSN)
3. Bill Raftery solo (ESPN/CBS)
4. Pete Gillen (CSTV) ("eating bagels")
5. Tom Brennan (ESPN/ABC) ("sometimes you are the pigeon, sometimes you are the statue")

And we have a regional media award as well for announcers who are not typically available to a national audience. From the ones I have seen/watched, the award goes to... Bob Elliott of FSN Arizona. His humor is an acquired taste, it is accountant humor after all :-)

What do you think?
