Bye Bye Billy
Billy Packer has been let go by CBS. And I am...sad. I like the guy. I've said it for years, taken a bunch of crap for it, and stood by him. And I'm not going anywhere now. I would expound on my reasons for liking him, but why repeat what someone else has already said. I'll just say that for people who really like college basketball, and really understand the game, he does as fine a job as any other color commentator in the country. Do I always agree with his stance? No. Does he always present his argument with eloquence and tact? No. But has the man forgotten more about basketball than I'll ever know? Without a doubt.

I can see where you're coming from here. Annoying he can be, but I THINK he was there with Naismith back at the Y. Truthfully, I'd rather listen to Packer do color than hear Nance. Nance can do golf, but put him on a basketball sideline and it just doesn't work for me.
