A recent Gus Johnson interview shows why he shouldn't do the Ohio State football vs. Michigan game any longer

Anyone who knows about Johnson knows that he is a Michigan guy. He usually does a pretty good job of hiding his bias during those calls, but a recent interview revealed that might be harder for him now than it was in the past with TTUN on a four-game winning streak in the rivalry.

During a recent Michigan event, Johnson was interviewed and was bragging about how much he loved calling Michigan games, especially during this win streak.



"Now, it feels like this is a Renaissance. A golden age. Four straight wins...I had a chance to watch JJ McCarthy, a guy they said couldn't throw the deep ball, throw it down there, and he's a bad dude. Don making those big plays against Ohio State, in playoff games, championship games. It's just been a wonderful ride."

Johnson clearly has a rooting interest in those battles between the Ohio State football program and TTUN. If the quality of his overall broadcasting hadn't started to slip, this may not anger Buckeye fans as much as it does right now. But FOX probably should start looking for someone else for that top spot.

Johnson has been an excellent broadcaster for a long time, but his time as one of the best might be coming to an end. It might be time for someone else to get the privilege to call Ohio State football games.

I thought this was AI.

that's some click bait nonsense. People are allowed to have favorites. It's whether or not they can still do their jobs, which Gus clearly can. you cannot tell at all who he roots for unless Joel hijacks the broadcast to mention it. his joy for the sport is effusive and doesn't wane when he's asked to bring it to covering a rival team.

Herbie would do well to study what Gus does.

I realize we're militarizing ourselves to cancel everything always so we can feel important and heard (and never ever consider what is broken to enable that need and make it so central to our daily living), but this is one of the worst examples I've come across.

If someone wants to complain about Gus being a bit too much for a preseason NFL game or a 40 point win over sparty, have at it.

but pretending he cannot do his job because he likes another school? absolutel foolishness.

Gus Johnson did his best to ruin Chris Henry Jr.'s unforgettable Ohio State TD​

If this is the 'passion' Gus is going to bring to the broadcast booth, then find someone else.

How many times is Gus Johnson going to get away with this? Johnson, a fantastic play-by-play commentator 95 percent of the time, continues to let Ohio State fans down with some of his calls. More of the same was showcased in the Week 3 win over Kent State, taking some excitement away from what was a major moment for freshman Chris Henry Jr.

Sure, this was a blowout win against Kent State and Henry's 75-yard touchdown came in the fourth quarter... but Gus had to be kidding with how he handled this play. Take a listen to the video below and you'll see exactly why. Johnson sounds like he's watching a chess or checkers match, not one of the top teams in the country... :sad::


Chris Henry Jr. deserved more than Gus Johnson's rough call for his 75-yard Ohio State TD​

Show us some dang emotion, Mr. Johnson. Seriously, no one was expecting Johnson to have the same reaction to Omar Cooper Jr.'s game-winning TD for Indiana against Penn State or anything, but some excitement sure would have been nice. Oh, and he also mistakenly said it was Henry's first Ohio State TD - it was his second.

Henry was fired up after that long touchdown grab and so were fans in the stands for him. The true freshman wideout has MONSTER expectations for this team moving forward and everyone is getting a close look at his potential. He's only going to keep getting better and once Jeremiah Smith leaves for the NFL next season - he'll have what it takes to be a leader for this offense.

With Big Ten play here too, the hope is that he'll keep getting more comfortable with the offense and help Julian Sayin and Co., which countless people have been expecting from him since he signed with the Buckeyes. He's the real deal, no doubt.

As for Johnson, this of course isn't the first time he's left the Ohio State faithful fully disappointed. What's worse is that he previously said he loved calling the Michigan vs. Ohio State games when the Wolverines posted their four-game winning streak over the Buckeyes. There's clearly a bit of a rooting interest there for the Detroit native, and plenty of people are sick of it.

It just feels like Johnson is a bit more amped up to call games when the Buckeyes aren't the ones on the field turning heads in the middle of the action. If that's going to continue forward, then FOX should find someone else to be on the mic when Ohio State is front and center. Otherwise, OSU supporters will continue to be left shaking their heads and feel wanting more with his vanilla reactions to what's supposed to be something that's downright electric. Pick it up, man.

Dave Portnoy Claims Ryan Day, Ohio State Had Him Removed from FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff​

164301_h.JPG


FOX has removed Dave Portnoy from its Big Noon Kickoff pregame show. Portnoy claims Ryan Day and Ohio State are to blame.

The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand reported Friday night that Portnoy will no longer appear on FOX’s college football pregame show. Shortly after, the Barstool Sports founder took to social media and claimed that Day and Ohio State were the reason why.

“Ohio State and Ryan Day bitched and moaned to the Big Ten and threatened Fox till they had no choice,” Portnoy said in his tweet.





It’s not the first time Portnoy has accused Day and Ohio State of trying to keep him off of Big Noon Kickoff. Before Ohio State’s season opener against Texas last season, which was also Portnoy’s first appearance on the show, Portnoy claimed that Ohio State banned him from entering Ohio Stadium. Ohio State denied that accusation, saying it was FOX’s decision for Portnoy not to be inside the stadium for the final hour of the show because he was not a member of Big Noon Kickoff’s “main desk.” Portnoy still appeared on the show during the portion held outside the stadium.

“I do not blame Ryan Day for me getting fired from WEEI, ESPN, or banned from the NFL”

Lmaooooo imagine typing out that sentence acknowledging it all only to reinforce that this time only it’s Ryan Day’s fault.

I guess Ryan's swinging dick is a whole lot bigger then Dave's.

The only reason Portney was on Fox was due to all the BarStool ads purchased.

This guy and his limp dick assmeat cronies should never have been allowed anywhere near college football after they made an open mockery of Craig Bohls retirement game when they played Toledo in that bowl game. It was the most unprofessional worthless pile of crap job I’ve seen ever watching football, and that covers almost half a century.
