For the past 28 years, Jim Nantz has essentially been the face of CBS Sports. He’s always been a consummate professional and I’m happy that he’s spending more time with his family so he could focus on Golf and the NFL at his age

Same here. He is the goat when it comes to sports broadcasting and to me he’s the equivalent of Tom Brady, taking time off to spend time with his kids.

“GIVES IT TO JENKINS, FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP! YESSSSSSSSSSSS!” That call will always give me shivers. An all timer. He’s one of the greatest, glad we will still have Jim Nantz on the NFL and Golf.

Nantz spoke to my sports broadcasting class at UNC last year, before March madness. It was so surreal to talk to him (although it was virtual) and then hear him call one of our biggest games in history a month after that
@otaviofrn_adv Жыл бұрын
he lived through pretty much all in the tournament... Even his Houston Cougars in the final four a couple years ago. Even though the championship wasn't won, Carolina won the rivalry forever. Duke will never have the chance to retire Dean Smith with a win in Chapel Hill and a March Madness battle (as a Carolina fan, I assume you know the result of the final home game for the Dean in 97)

@walterlv01 Жыл бұрын
I started following college basketball in the mid-1980s and Nantz has always been a voice of it; first as the host and then the announcer. But it's time. For the better part of the past 20 years he has only done a game or two the entire regular season and swooped in at the very end for March Madness. He's done great work for 32 years but I absolutely agree with allowing an announcer like Eagle, who calls college hoops games for CBS all season, to become their main voice of the sport. Eagle has more than earned the opportunity.
@otaviofrn_adv Жыл бұрын
I think he had no regular season assignmets between Kentucky-Carolina in 2011 and Memphis vs Houston last season. Only the Big 10 tournament and March Madness. I understand, he calls pretty much everything on CBS. But I also would love to see Ian Eagle calling the final four
@loganleroy8622 Жыл бұрын

I remember when Musburger did his last NCAA title game for CBS, after he voiced the dramatic tournament matchups of the 1980s. Who could have expected then that the games, the moments, the drama would get exponentially better when Nantz took over.
@otaviofrn_adv Жыл бұрын
true... the bad thing about Musburguer is that he was kicked out of CBS, and couldn't go on his own terms. Nantz had that chance. What I really love about college hoops overall is that there is a balance that seems to be bigger than in other sports. Any day can be a day for upsets. There are many smaller teams that we don't follow all that well during the regular season that have their shining moment when March comes. I mean, look at that Lehigh that defeated Duke, they had CJ McCollum. A lot of hidden talent
