Yep. If the game had been close, he wouldn't have seemed like a homer.

He was genuinely enthusiastic about BYU. I think he's a natural in the booth.

Robert Griffin Jr. the Third was kind of annoying.

He knew his audience was mostly Christian and didn’t hesitate to play to that

Also- he just started his commentating career, he’ll get better

I thought he was very good. I just didn't want to hear him call a Baylor game.

Heard that in a recent conference, good quote haha

I think he would have been great had either he or I had no rooting bias.

The game was basically all-Baylor too. We didn't give him a lot to talk about

I felt like he tried really hard to compliment BYU. Even us fans can't do that.

Mark Jones was worse

TNT

This was my take too. I'm sick of listening to BYU away telecasts all year.

10/18/21 9:24am

Overall, he was fine. But, there was a stretch that was really annoying.

Cougar TD

10/18/21 9:24am

I thought he was great. Considering how Baylor was dominating, there wasn't much

Yep. If the game had been close, he wouldn't have seemed like a homer.

I actually thought he was pretty good and was trying hard to give us credit

Bluforever

10/18/21 9:25am

I think he was genuine when giving credit.

hydrocoug

10/18/21 9:46am

Same - he was fine. When Hall broke the long TD run he genuinely went nuts!!

truecougster

10/18/21 10:26am

And he thought Puka and Gunner were studs.

Bluforever

10/18/21 10:31am

It’s evident we can find whatever we are looking for.

I should read through all the comments before posting. My thoughts exactly.

MrClark

10/18/21 9:11pm

He reminded me of the comedian Preacher Lawson...He even sounded like him...

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

10/18/21 9:26am

He was a Homer, but that could have been the best we had so far.

Zoobieman

10/18/21 9:27am

He gets a pass from me. Baylor was honoring him this week, and ESPN give him

I hated when RGIII declared Puka's toe was out because of the heel motion

DCCougFan

10/18/21 10:07am

Yeah, that comment baffled me. I still think I'm missing something.

hydrocoug

10/18/21 10:17am

I thought he was a breath of fresh air....

relic

10/18/21 11:22am

I thought he was kind of refreshingly charismatic and fun.

Ikuna

10/18/21 9:30am

That is a good way to describe it, and I think is what I liked. It didn't feel

BYUtka

10/18/21 9:38am

Thought he did fine

ColoSpgs

10/18/21 9:38am

I thought he was great

HONOMO

But that smile.... it was all Eddie Murphy!

Our team was kind of annoying.

it was much better than the USU game announcers

If it's jr the third, does that make it RG IV? Or is it multiplicative and RG VI

runitup590

10/18/21 11:05am

He was very good. A little unpolished as a broadcaster, but pretty impartial.

LifeLongLakerFan

10/18/21 11:15am

Nah. He was great. He was loving on Puka the whole game

ratherberoping

10/18/21 11:18am

10x better than Rod Gilmore! RGIII at least brings energy to the broadcast and

djbryant79

10/18/21 11:28am

I liked him and hope he does another BYU game

NorthwestCoug

10/18/21 12:02pm

He was great, would love to have him do another game.

maizecoug

10/18/21 12:11pm

I loved him! Different, but fair and entertaining.

Desert Rat

10/18/21 12:24pm

💯 thinking the same thing the whole game. Nice guy, but he took

Cougar4life123

10/18/21 12:39pm

I really liked him. I'd love to have him call all our games not involving Baylor

I will never complain when a Heisman winner says this on national television…

Metallicat

10/18/21 12:59pm

He's Baylor royalty. He gets a pass from me..

HarlemCoug

10/18/21 1:25pm

I loved RGIII! I think he’s awesome and did just fine.

scorpiondynamo

10/18/21 1:43pm

I actually thought he was ok. The lovefest about him on the other hand...geez.

wonderbred

10/18/21 1:53pm

If you like Bill Walton and Charles Barkely- u like RG III - he was great

CCookie

10/18/21 3:11pm

I found him charming and annoying at the same time.

deljdc

10/18/21 3:15pm

a downton abbey and a football fan--- interesting

CCookie

10/18/21 3:24pm

He’s been the best one we’ve had all year. He did great. Not much to talk about.
