    Listening to Gus speak about broadcasting, is just like listening to him call a game. The man is poetry embodied. Prose embedded in flesh.
    Absolutely loved listening to these men, two pillars of my sports fandom, wax poetic.
    Please do it again, soon.

    2007 OSU vs. Xavier during March Madness in Kentucky, when he called the game - Ron Lewis hit the 3 to send it to overtime. Gus' call and the comments after it hit OT..."This is March Madness!!" ... priceless. The guy is a National Treasure.

    The goat Gus Johnson, his game calling is timeless, you can watch the same game multiple times with same excitement, more importantly he respects each team he’s calling game for, not even Klatt is at that level

    Gus Johnson called the greatest pick of all time by DJ Graham for my Oklahoma Sooners. I’ve loved him ever since, it was the best reaction ever. If you haven’t seen the play go watch it. Literally unreal!

    Love Gus. Easily the most iconic voice in sports. One day before he hangs it up, I'd love to see him call a Baseball and a few NHL Hockey games [I know he did them for college hockey]. Man, the tapestry that guy could weave for those.

    Never knew Gus was a Wayne County guy! For me, he only popped onto my radar, when he made theUber. In The Game: "O-Ja-Bo!"
    Listening to him, I can hear a little Ernie Harwell in his presentation, and story telling abilities.
    Wish he would have had the chance to call a game opposite Keith Jackson, Pat Summerall, Howard Cosell, or Bob Ufer.

    Crazy how all of these average to unproven guys are getting paid as if they're football players and everyone who watches football would rather listen to Gus Johnson make calls. I've never watch a GJ game that wasn't exciting or had something crazy happen. I wonder if the TNG would be better with him
