In fact, last year, I specifically remember him calling KU the best program in the country during that late night show he's on.

He just seems to be getting bitter and being more of a fan now than a member of the media. I can understand though. I'd imagine if my allegiance lied elsewhere in the Big 12 my respect for KU would start to lean to hate and cloud my judgement after the 9th straight time they won the conference my team was in lol. So I guess I can't blame him.

it's hard to take this guy seriously. This was just one example too mind you. He has no objectivity in his "analysis." I love watching/listening to him because he's OSU's version of Knowmo.

I'm not sure taking OSU in that game would have been any kind of stretch nor would I say he was being a homer.

OU foul called

Ugh, what a clown.

He's the biggest homer in the media.

How so? I must of missed a bunch of stuff because I've always thought he was pretty decent.

He is, though. There's no PG better than Marcus Smart in the NCAA. Has a huge impact on the game in a number of ways.

If he hates KU, it certainly doesn't show through his work. At least in my experience with watching/listening/reading him.

Not just twitter but more recently during halftime of the OSU/KU game. And Seth Davis was calling him out on it. Davis calls him out on twitter at times as well. They're good friends though it's just funny. He still gives teams their props it just seems like it has gotten a little homered recently. Understandable. Hey just today he said KU was gonna win the conference. He's a former player so it's hard to keep it in check at times.

If you look at his legs and not his elbow, he's being tripped by the Gooner. That is , again, clearly a foul on the defense

Agreed, it was definitely a foul on the defensive player. Exaggerating the contact and flinging himself on the ground successfully drew attention to it.

Lol he doesn't hate them. He's just getting a little Knowmo.
