Gus Madness

Now that the conference tournaments are over, it is officially time for Gus Johnson. Unequivocally our greatest living broadcaster, Gus elevates his level of excitement in March unlike anyone we have ever heard. He is the anti-Pat Summerall. He is appointment television, even more so than the games he calls.
His latest masterpiece went down this past weekend in the Pac-10 Championship game. Fans from both teams were no doubt pleased to get some vintage Gus, but in the end Washington is the big winner. They're winners not because they had more points than the other team, but in fact because at the very end of the clip they got Gus to drop his patented "ha-HA!"



Watching this one live was an out of body experience. The Morrison tears before the game ends should have told us everything we needed to know about his NBA prospects.



This is a great compilation, if you have the time. You might want to turn the volume down, Gus can get very carried away.



In all the hoopla, we can't forget that Gus has been on hand for some football insanity too. There was this one last year...



...or this one from this past season. ha-HA!



His skills are so transcendental that you can even mash his calls up with sports he knows nothing about, and it still works. Don't believe me? Check out this "call" from the USA-Algeria World Cup game...
