Bill Raftery - Belgian Waffles

[Byronscoolvideos]

For the National Championship game, it should be UConn and Duke, and the announcers would be Gus Johnson, Bill Raftery and Dicky V

Related to me....oh yes

Raf. is my favorite analyst by far. In every game its obvious that he LOVES college basketball. If he's on the crew, I'll watch games on ESPN (I'm a PAC-10 guy) even if I don't care about the teams.

ah yes that's Kristof Ongenaet.

Mediocre player.

Brilliant analysis on your part, thank you. Coach Raftery is a gem. A true gem. "like a Belgian waffle...sweet!" How awesome is that? Who else would say that?

The Syracuse player being described by Raftery was/is from Belgium. That's why there was the Belgian waffle reference.

Raftery is far more intelligent than he lets on. He's silly, colorful and zany, but so much of what he says is thematically relevant to the action. He's a nutty professor of sorts, a more polished and reserved Al McGuire, if you will.
