I'm starting to see why Walton gets on posters' nerves here.  Everybody is "fantastic" or "tremendous."  My favorite was when he described the "crowd" as "irate" on the offensive foul near the end of the half.  Yeah, we all agree that was a chump call, but "the crowd irate?"  Really?  Maybe if this game were in Palo Alto but come on Bill, look around you and tell me how many Stanford fans you see at the game.  There can't be more than what, 60?

Agreed. He sounds like David Shaw when Shaw says "phenomenal" in every other sentence. Pritchard has adopted that term to describe virtually everything he likes too.
