The Legend of Cecilio Guante

A sports blog for those who remember the days when it was OK to throw inside, hit the quarterback and trash talk a bit.

Give us Some Gus (Johnson, that is…)

A month or so back, we threw up a post entitled” Gus Johnson Could Make Curling Fun to Watch.” We still believe that. Give the man some mildly competitive NCAA tournament games, and the entertainment value factor goes through the roof.

SI featured the below video today in Hot Clicks that reminded us of the fabulousness of Gus. The esteemed readers of Deadspin agree that Gus Johnson is the shiz-nit.

So, after the tease below, we were only left wanting more. Enjoy you some Gus. March is coming, friends.

It only gets better when you can team that audio and video together. Here’s the video that inspired our post from earlier this year.

The final call from UCLA/Gonzaga 2006 tilt.

Unfortunately, embedding has been disabled on this gem from Xavier/Ohio St. Did we mention that we’re ready for the tournament? “And we’re going to overtime…in Lexington…HA-HA!”
