I'll take Danna over Walton any day. At least Danna calls the game.
Walton could spend the entire game talking about taking mushrooms at Dead shows and I would take him over Danna. Walton is the clown who knows he's a clown. However, Danna is the kind of guy who THINKS he's a pro.
The fact he's a Stanford alum makes his performances even more unforgivable. He must be a smart guy but has no clue.

Come on, guys. Yes, he's a bit over the top, but there's no crowd in a good sized building. The atmosphere is weird. Maybe he'll listen to himself and tone it down a bit. I thought his play by play was just fine, accurate and timely. He's got the most important talent down. He will get better, methinks.
What did Danna do that was so offensive? That's a serious question.
The one comment I thought was a bit geeky was analogizing Oscar (was it?) to some E-sports guy - that's if I "got" the reference, which frankly I did not. So if somebody can clarify/edify, that would be appreciated. And I thought Casey Jakes was damn good as the color guy.
P.S. Walton is the color guy, so it's not his job to do PbP. His job is to do . . . well . . . color. I find him amusing, but can see why others object to his antics. I do give him full credit for pimping the Pac 12 Conference of Champions. I believe he is honestly a homer for the conference and talks it up (some might say incessantly/over-the-toppedly), and I view that as a net-positive.
