along with our friend Jason Bennetti.

Great to hear Bill Walton on the call. Those of use who remember the Bulls heyday in the 90s remember Walton calling games on NBC.

Here he is wearing Hawaiian shirt while calling the game.

Illini - Gonzaga, on ESPN2, tune in NOW!!

Catch Bill Walton AGAIN today in Maui, at 1:30 CDT!

And I think he will do the Illini game again today at 4PM!

Here is full schedule. I had no idea he was still a full-time analyst.

Calling the Xavier SDSU game now

Seems like Walton keeps Bennetti in his place. Doesnt let him fuck with him like he does with Steve Stone. Show respect for your elder legend.

I hope my Southwest flight has the live TV with ESPN. I will miss the first half but a half is all I need.

There isn't a hoops announcer I have ever enjoyed more than Walton.

Damn I hate that I didn't click on this thread earlier.

And Walton just made several other gems. :lol: :lol:

So do they hate each other, or do they both realize that the other guy gets the bit, that Bill is high as a kite, and they are rolling with it?

Jason should order about $50 worth of food to be delivered courtside at the first time out of the Illini game.

Enjoy!

I've done (for me) the unthinkable, stopped at home to dvr the Illinois game, just to laugh at Bill.

But a former classmate's son is playing, so there's that as well.

Must be nice to hobnob with the quality. I wouldn't know. Just a working stiff....

Isn't Danny B. an ISU guy? I guess he's been MIA lately.

Joking. I'm not sure why he isn't posting.

Met Walton last year at a great Mexican restaurant in Claremont. He is TALL but it was hard for me to watch him walk. It looked like a decent wind could knock him down. My favorite Walton recollections was when he did the Clippers games when the Clippers were the worst team in basketball. They had a homer announcer named Ralph Lawler and he was hilarious to listen to.

Maybe Bill was having flashbacks to drinking 40s?

Can we get Walton to do White Sox games with Benetti?
