There is no denying that Fran has a love for Hilton and Iowa State, and he will say as much any time he gets the chance. It's awesome

Any school with the word "hawk" in their nickname makes me sick. Breath if you hate Kansas.
Can we get Fran hooked up with some Hickory Park Saturday? He's a big fan. Nothing like ISU/KU at Hilton with Fran on the call. The wait until Saturday at 5 is gonna feel longer than the two weeks we waited for last nights game!
Had to go watch the highlights of that game again. Good times.
Are you on the east coast? Saturday's game tips off at 4.
It's been discussed previously, but that walk out of AFH afterwards had to be glorious.
This was my favorite to attend! I got very intoxicated on Jay-hawk tears after this!
I mean, Fran attends Hilton as a fan on games that he is not even broadcasting. Dude bleeds Cardinal and Gold.
The best part about Fran's broadcast are that you can tell which team has momentum by his voice. And he changes between the teams as the game goes on and gets excited for both teams as good things happen!
My favorite part of his shot is that before the ball had even left his hands, NWB was off the bench signaling "three!!!". Confidence.

I prefer the look of horror on the KU fans in the background personally.
Whoa. A KU fan making sense:

Not in fairness. He’s the announcer. Do we butch about ****** announcers who are neutral? No. So how about he stops totally sucking at his job?

No, we b*tch about anybody who doesn’t tell us how great KU is every 30 seconds for the entire two hour broadcast. I bet that part gets pretty stale after ten years or however long it’s been.
Also, from a non-KU perspective: think about how much we roll our eyes when Vitale or Patrick or somebody else does a Duke game and just heaps praise on Coach K all game. Since the pro-KU audience is locked in regardless, it does actually makes sense to try to keep as much of the non-KU audience as interested and engaged as possible. Just blowing KU all game doesn’t further that goal.
Mark Neely and Fran are doing the game.
