What was with his high pitched squealy voice saying “boys and Girls†and stuff? Sometimes Doug is too much. I’d like to make Sportscenter for hoops not Birdsong being goofy

Yes usually I give Doug a pass cause he’s Doug and he is all about Bison athletics. But to say he’s good at his basketball radio job is not accurate, in my opinion. He’s way too over the top (I believe in purpose) and he does not accurately describe the action. He uses the same old callls that suggest fouls are happening on every play, both ways: “Jones pushes off...†or “Thomas reaches in..†or “Brown goes over the back...†as he describes live action. I just cannot trust what he says in terms of fouls. He goes way overboard with his stats...â€shooting 74.6% from the line which is much higher than their normal 72.6%.†Finally he is a terrible interviewer. His questions are way too wordy and long because he has to give his feelings during the question. Plus he always asks a question and finished it by asking the interviewee to agree with him: “The Bison really made an effort to cover Jones, didn’t they?†Typically, Davis or whomever he is interviewing will not agree with him. I’d think someone who has been doing it forever would be better.

I was on the road and I listened to Doug and enjoyed his sportscasting and his exuberance. Yes, he's over the top a little but its all in his youthful enthusiasm. Behind BisonRoadWarrior, he might be Bucknell's number two fan. I thought his f-o-u-l -e-d diatribe was extreme and his adoration of Kimbal a little fanboyish and was disappointed when he thought we were only up by two when it was four near the end of the game-he should know better. Also, when Bruce Moore fouled he accused the other player of flopping but the refs were fishing for a flagrant which made me question the action. But he's a true fan of the Bison that is clear. Furthermore he started the game spot on but deteriorated near the end. Its hard to maintain that level of youthful enthusiasm at an older age but he has done it.
Here's a song for Doug. You are doing great!

It was obviously good to get the win but I come away with some concerns. First and foremost, Jimmy isn’t even close to being right. He is constantly in pain and can’t shoot. He doesn’t even think about looking to shoot. That may eventually be a liability.
They are still better with Sotos than without. His ball handling and passing are tough to replace. It also takes the pressure off Kimbal to be both point guard and scorer.

I’m not arguing they aren’t better with him in there, but I think the more film of him not even attempting a jump shot will change defensive strategies. Everyone will sag off him and double down on someone like Nate. I agree, we need him for the Lehigh game. But maybe after that he sits for a week or so to try to continue and rehab and strengthen his shoulder.

Anyone aware of any replay sites? Most of the other teams I follow have links to sites that offer replays. My internet was down for this game and would love to see the Bison in action.

Stadium has it archived: https://watchstadium.com/network/patriot-leagu e-ne...
But you need to listen to Doug's play-by-play unless you mute it. I like Doug, but he could really benefit from a color commentator to keep him in check.

Yes, the broadcasts were infinitely better when Terry Conrad was working with Doug.

Too bad we can't get Abe Badmus to do all the home games with him.

Much appreciated. Yes, mute button a good tool. I had remembered the signature "Bingo!" But the "Oh my, oh mighty!" phrase even more annoying.

All I can see on that link is the Griffin 3-pointer. But yes, Doug has had many crazy calls.
