Gus Johnson: Rise & Fire, Biatch

[delkst]

id alternate between gus johnson and morgan freeman Narrating my life

[Patsforlife1]

I always thought Gus Johnson was white. until I watched this. I have even more respect for him now :D

[stephen121000]

when gus johnson is annoucing i always hope for a game that has great plays and goes down to the wire

[packers256]

0:47 should have been an intentional foul and Xavier should have won the game. That was BS, I will remember that play for the rest of my life. I'm not even a Xavier fan. It is impossible to make an intentional foul within 1 minute left...

[violenceteacher6669]

i think when the 2 teams realise gus is announcing there game they make it more exciting

[swcrowe]

HA HAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[cjsmooth79]

[phillysports266]

look up "Law of Gus Johnson" on urban dictionary

[greenakutabi]

I dream to be half as awesome as Gus Johnson.

[chicagobear20]

i think CBS should adjust all games to make it so when a game comes down to the wire the announcer gets switched out with gus johnson

[clthomp2]

law of gus - every game he calls has a close finish and an even better call

[RossTheHick]

COUNT IT

[uhn2000]

I love Gus.. the best ever!

[ecks8]

LMAO "Very impressive Freshman, averaging 6 points a game". ...Was he being sarcastic?

[laclipps1]

@ecks8 no...a point guard true freshman...not bad at 6 per...much better than you or i

[superman32101]

@ecks8 That's quite good for a freshman. Only a select few contribute and make headlines. Most don't do anything.

[avfckidddd7]

RiseandFire. COUNTTT ITTTTT

[neontiger32]

I hope the new stations like Tnt and tru tv don't have crappy commentators, cuz gus johnson is a beast.

[lilze96]

I would like to meet Gus just so he could do a play by play on my wedding!

[johnnyman08]

"Lewis .. has been awesome .. let's it gooo ... makes it ... OHHH .."

Gus' calls are pure awesomeness. If this guy was commentating on a baby shower he could make it exciting.

[stustu009]

holy shit, i thought gus was white

[FILMLYFE]

Im going to have Gus Johnson call my honeymoon night!!

[mkdaisgory]

i thought gus johnson was white 0.o not that it matters he a legendary man :D

[jimmy93212]

he's half the reason i watch some of these games haha

[TheEaglesfanindc]

i dont like him calling nfl games he perfect for college bball tho

[Basketballstar424]

When did Ohio State play Xavier I don't even remember this happening

[blooperrules65]

@Basketballstar424

Are you kidding? this was a great game that Xavier had the chance of winning if Cage had just made that one free throw!!!! but he missed and lewis came down and hit a 3...typical

[nym685]

I want Gus Johnson to announce my funeral.

[TheBlazerfan7]

can you imagine gus doing golf

[spyder79z]

Gus Johnson = Most exciting announcer today along with Kevin Harlan

[Yankjetknickranger]

@brandonferr1 hahaha

[weaverb1227]

I was so mad when i found out he was black

[theatomicpig3333]

@weaverb1227 Why....

[rocklatex]

"...AND WE'RE GOING INTO OVERTIMMMMMMMMME...IN LEXINGTON...HAAAHAA!" where is that at?

[weaverb1227]

@rocklatex Lexington Kentucky

[Yankjetknickranger]

i want gus to follow me around and narrate my life

[brandonferr1]

@Yankjetknickranger THEN HE TAKES A SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!! AND HE MAKES WAFFELLLLLLLLLLLLLLS!!!!!!

[merkava9]

when deciding between which nfl game to watch on sundays, i always look for the one Gus Johnson is calling. So much more enjoyable

[whocares55555]

the greg oden foul at about 50 seconds is so hilarious

[xBRONCOSx24]

I always thought Gus was white, shows what i know....

[Bigbenears]

[bulls7123]

Man, I miss Gus Johnson and college basketball. Oh well, only 3 months left.

[CHEEZHE4D]

[Drybones195]

@CHEEZHE4D same here

[GWETVNetwork]

We've got Gus Johnson and Drew Brees playing at Times Square in NYC in the middle of the street, come watch!

[KC816KC]

He does very good.. In fact (no homo but) He's just about the only reason I watch college basketball.. He keeps it entertaining if the match is 0-0

[gobuckeyes13]

this game sucked for me because i love both ohio state and xavier..i guess i was glad cause of OSU since they made championship game..go bucks! go muskies!

[JBMAC92082]

[BossVATO]

Connely for 3... AND HE ANSWERS!

[jesdanjesdanjesdan]

[jesdanjesdanjesdan]

on another note, why does this guy not call, like, everything? leafs games please.

[jesdanjesdanjesdan]

I just found out that Johnson is black.

[playaAra]

he is the best bar none..

[jamdawg]

Gus Johnson has become a favorite of mine.

[moneymitch230]

As im watching this Gus Johnson is killing the xavier kansas state game!!!

[mateoerre]

I think Gus Johnson is one of the best announcers in the sports biz right now. He is fantastic and brings such great energy. I love when he's on.

[philliesfan111]

Gus Johnson is the shit

[Str8truth24]

I honestly thought I was the only one who held Gus Johnson in such high regard ... Oh how wrong I was ... Best announcer ever ..

[philliesfan111]

@Str8truth24 I thought I was the only one too. He's awesome

[jtc291980]

Workin' hard..... Nice

[DreamShook34]

"Spinning down the lane! Deals it! HA HA!"

[dauntedpigeon]

Acie Law *pause* Big Time.

[nfitz6]

.. and a steal clark BAM!

[NoRulesInNam]

Put Gus Johnson in Madden 11, god damn it.

[ThatguyNice]

Rise & fire has helped me in the bedroom. Thanks, Gus.

[ThatguyNice]

Gus should be the highest paid broadcaster in the land. After a while, you kinda stop watching the game & just listen for the max experience.

You either have that IT or you don't.

[PDeCaporale1987]

Gus Johnson is fucking amazing. I feel like his head explodes on every play. He could commentate on fence painting and make it exciting....I wish he could just do every game...

[GTkennethxD]

Here comes the pain!

[TheFridayShowPTP]

FRESHMEN

[mdsportz21]

go watch golf

[CharlesmontKid]

1:28 rise and fire COUN IT

[Robinson2213]

Spinning down the lane...deals it...HA HA!!!!!

LMFAO

[gmjssc]

When Gus Johnson is announcing, you know it's going to be good.

[StandupShowcase]

Gus is one of the few NFL announcers that doesn't make me want to hit mute..he's awesome.

[muffinsco]

@gmjssc He's my favorite announcer. I love him.

[AlphaNittwit]

2:32

[texasglovelab]

2:37

HAHA!

[MrWhite431]

lmao best announcer ever

[wjmoore17]

1:01... did he say "PTTTWHOOUHHAUUU!??!!" ?

[wjmoore17]

...or was it "phidawwughhhhh!?!?!!!"

[GTkennethxD]

he said BINGOOOOOOOOO!

[wjmoore17]

yeah... okay, yeah, i hear it now..

[GTkennethxD]

kk :)

[mdsportz21]

@wjmoore17 lol

[Cuishy123]

@wjmoore17 hahaha its so funny because he has no idea what to say, but i love him... i go to the same high school he went to

[SRM30]

i know, but that's what makes it so awsome.

[dudeface59]

@wjmoore17 i believe so lol

[rabbit221]

@wjmoore17 I was in tears after hearing that, your comment just made it that much better.

[thanasi1721]

@wjmoore17 LMFAOOOOOOOOO!!!

[TrendSettazz]

@wjmoore17 He said "Put it down!!!!!!!!!!!"

[PivotWithBiscuitz]

@wjmoore17 i think its more like

"PEHH DEEUUGHGHHUU!!"

[gazhaulr]

@wjmoore17 He got so excited he didn't know what he was saying!

[JohnMarineTube]

Other than Kevin Harlan, I like Gus Johnson. He makes even the most boring games exciting. He'd make even tennis and golf exciting. Rise and fire... COUNT IT!

[TheCP342]

"HAH HAH"... gotta love Gus man

[TulsaUte21]

Gus and Raftery are the best.

[honorman1181]

Gus is the man, makes me mad he doesnt do as much stuff as like Nantz, although Nantz is great too

[Centrus67]

imagine if this guy did golf coverage

[aoskilanec]

tiger with THE 5 IRON!

hits it OVER THE WATER

parks it on the GREEN!!!!!

listen to the birds baby!

me and my brother had this discussion like a week ago

[westhoff0407]

Gus Johnson calls a game like two guys rooting for opposing teams who each get the chance to call their own team's offensive possessions. It's great.

[mitchisthename696969]

haha when he calls your favorite team's game and it close, you either love him or you wanna kill him

[beerbroadsbullets]

Gus Johnson is the greatest announcer EVER! Hey could probably get me to watch golf if he called it haha

[Resistance23]

How awesome would it be if Gus called every game of every sport ever? I'd watching fucking tennis if he was calling it....

[vfgjhj]

I remember watching a Vikings/Bills games back in 2002 and for whatever reason Gus was doing that game and every time Randy Moss touched the ball Gus went absolutely bonkers.

[TheMaku]

You get "Gus" bumps every time

[NoRulesInNam]

Gus is great and does his part in making a sport I hate, college basketball, actually exciting. Amusing, too. BATISTA WITH THE CAAAAAAATCH

[NMGRepresentor]

Gus is amazing!!

HA HA!!

[bigmoney714]

Gus is the man

[TDenaro]

Deals it! HAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[jaegerbomb55]

Rise and Fire biatch!!

[crazyk2345]

I would give BOTH my nuts, just for this guy to do the commentary when I'm shooting hoops in my driveway.

[UCONNHuskies12]

gus has the best commentating voice

[JalapenoBuckeye]

Gus is the best

[kontender1980]

GUS IS THE VOICE FOR MARCH MADNESS

[roncarl9]

We need a Bill Raftery Mix like this one

[OfficerBigJoey]

you gotta love gus johnson

[Rucks90]

I love it when this guy covers a game NFL or BASKETBALL. I CRACK UP when HE SCREAMED! loool

[NoWittyNameDevised]

Which game was it where Gus Johnson said before the commercial break, "That's what happens when you mess with the "Law"? The awesomeness of that comment was solidified by a slow, diabolical, and exaggerated laugh. It's of legend.

[uselessidguy331]

I remember that! Hahaha, that was absolutely hysterical. The proportions of the badassery of Gus Johnson transcend all human conception.

[mygqdavid]

2:41 Haha!!!!!

[Rucks90]

looool

[wmburden]

HERE COMES THE PAIN!

[cameojoey]

Clark BAM!

[notoriousspb]

"COUNT IT... HAHAHA!!!" He announces like a crazy fan for both teams, which is absolutely awesome. Should replace Jim Nantz for basketball.

[eastwrestlr103]

xavier got robbbbbbbedddddddddddd!!!!!  damn oden

[88joemomma]

lol more like damn conley

[RCSIII]

Best announcer in the biz. He verbalizes our enthusiasm when the big plays occur.  Yet he is considered a joke. We know better.

[rkohulk1]

i always thought gus johnson was white...wow i am surprised, he still my favorite broadcaster though lol "PURRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!!!!"

[osiume]

i did too.

[Gatz037]

Holy shit.... Gus Johnson is the best broadcaster out there... he says what i think and how i feel when someone makes a big shot...

[NYY2324]

It's a shame he's not on the top broadcasting team. Instead, in the Final Four we get Jim Nantz and - ugh - Billy Packer. Yawn.

Gus Johnson's passion represents all that is right about college basketball. He should be in there for the biggest games.

His noise would break so many home entertainment systems. And it would be worth it.

[BlackPantherUWM]

Billy Packer retired, he's being replaced by Clark Kellogg.

The problem is Jim Nantz is still there. He should be replaced by Gus.

[plogjayhawk7568]

Well Nantz is not that bad he just needs to find something better to say then Rock Chalk Championship or Yes UCONN

[SeaHawksFan94]

Nantz is corporate...He's good in championship settings but for my money I'd take Gus...He's sometimes more exciting than the game...He can turn a crap blowout into something exciting!

[skillee]

the real final four team should be gus & bill raftery

[plogjayhawk7568]

Well Billy Packer got fired so now it is Clark Kellog

[xCannon24x]

this guy is amazing

[jaxon1024]

fuck clark kellogg get gus in there hes the man

[littlenickyscarfo]

give gus a raise, i makes the game 20x better

[GoOhioStateBuckeyes]

I love Gus Johnson calling a game!!!

My favorite call from the entire highlight is where OSU is down by 3 with just seconds left:

"Lewis has been awesome, let's it go...brings it home!

[tbrick412]

spinning down the lane... deals it! HAHA!

gotta love gus

[tylersinkovitz]

lewis has been awesome.......lets it go......BRINGS IT HOME!!!!

[hotbiggin]

he actually says "put it down" with a hint of daffy duck on it!!!

[ljames111]

my name is jon barker and i am gay and so is this video

[swagteam31]

Gus Johnson should do the super bowl...His woulda exploded at last years

[amanpicksix]

Gus Johnson sounds like Gus Johnson

[bluntandafourty]

at the end of the xavier/osu, the color analyst sneaks in a "gotta hurry" 'cause he knows Gus is about to take over. haha

[marinerzz1]

Gus Johnson is black? WTF? His voice sounds so white!

[kyle092]

Thats what i thought!!!

[largec]

Naw homie he's just a very articulate, educated, and a proud black man.

[JFields4]

i agree ma brotha

[83rc]

same could be said about Obama, only obamas not really black

[bigwilly43729]

I thought he was white too, but him being black just makes it more awesome!

[PocketHercules99]

ya i was shocked! i hopr thats not why they don't move him to the big games in the nfl because i love his energy

[krossid]

lol i thought he wuz white too

[vika01]

i thought he was white

[MauryDann73]

Why must we be subjected to Nantz/Packer every year at Final Four time? Time to push them aside for Gus Johnson/Bill Raferty. Talk about capturing the excitement! Can you imagine Johnson's call of Mario Chalmers's shot?

[wegotmorrison]

Wow, I couldnt agree with you more. It would have made the game so much better. Nantz and Packer are so boring.

[SuperDuperDe]

why wasent a intentional foul called on oden, when he clearly pushed that guy out of bounds?

[pumpy25]

I know they let him do what he wanted. He also was bleeding that game and had it on his jersey and they didn't make him come out.

[nwallace05]

They should have called a foul before that when Lighty was hit and missed the shot. I guess one officiating break deserves another.

[pupunana]

Even though I'm a Xavier fan, the Ron Lewis "Bangs It Home!!" is the best.

[pistolabus]

"deals it...HA HA"

gus johnson is THE MAN

[wilardino]

best ever

[basketballguru45]

That has nothing to do with gus johnson

[kobe24]

gg da mizzayne

[survivorcsi]

"Here comes the pain"

I love Gus Freaking Johnson
