I love Gus Johnson's play calling! His calls are infectious and keeps me glued to the game! Wish NFL would keep him!

He will call NFL games for FOX after the conference championship
Listening to Gus speak about broadcasting, is just like listening to him call a game. The man is poetry embodied. Prose embedded in flesh. Absolutely loved listening to these men, two pillars of my sports fandom, wax poetic. Please do it again, soon.
The voice that can make a dull game exciting, and an exciting game the greatest game you've ever seen. 🐐
I could listen to Gus and Rich all day. Great guest, great host, GO BLUE!
Gus is a walking legend. Guy is smooth
He deserves to be in the sports announcing HOF(if it ever existed) legendary 🐐
This is a great interview. I always been a fan of Gus. Always lock in when calls a game
A Masterclass interview! Thanks for keeping Stuart's memory alive!
Gus is the best Announcer in collage football. Imagine him and Kieth Jackson call a game together.

Whoa Nellie!!!! It’s the Grandaddy of them all folks!!
That was a gift…thank you 🙏🏾
The goat Gus Johnson, his game calling is timeless, you can watch the same game multiple times with same excitement, more importantly he respects each team he’s calling game for, not even Klatt is at that level
2007 OSU vs. Xavier during March Madness in Kentucky, when he called the game - Ron Lewis hit the 3 to send it to overtime. Gus' call and the comments after it hit OT..."This is March Madness!!" ... priceless. The guy is a National Treasure.

Man you bringing back memories!!!!!
Gus Johnson called the greatest pick of all time by DJ Graham for my Oklahoma Sooners. I’ve loved him ever since, it was the best reaction ever. If you haven’t seen the play go watch it. Literally unreal!
His call of wvu v Texas Will Grier to Gary Jennings winning TD and 2 pt is one of my favorite sports moments all time.
Love Gus. Easily the most iconic voice in sports. One day before he hangs it up, I'd love to see him call a Baseball and a few NHL Hockey games [I know he did them for college hockey]. Man, the tapestry that guy could weave for those.
Gus Johnson is one of the GOATs, love him!
Easily one of my favorite FAVORITE interviews Rich has done… and for both to pay respect to the great Stuart Scott… this whole interview was cool as the other side of the pillow!
"Cardale Jones, Cardale Jones, Cardale Jones..."

Da big ten championship game oh man 👨 just give me chills
Gus really went: I don’t *ever* wear blue. Tell me you an OG without telling me you an OG
He is a very likable broadcaster and truly comes across as one of your guys who you hang out with.
Gus the 🐐
Best call ever. "Cold Blooded"!!!
Gus would make a driveway pickup game interesting… one of the best of our generation
Gus the 🐐Johnson
Miss you Stu
I could see Tommy Davidson doing a Gus Johnson impression.
Gus Johnson kind of looks like Gus Fring.

I was thinking the exact same thing lol!!
Gus is so unique as a broadcaster it’s so refreshing, glad he’s one of the top voices in CFB now, think it’s better than being a mid-level NFL guy
Gus was FANTASTIC announcing the UEFA Champions League in 2013 & 2014. He called it a disaster but to me he was exceptional
5th time watching this weekend. So inspirational!
“That was Week One, right?” “I don’t remember.” “I think it was the beginning of the year.” “Right! Incredible!”
Thumbs up for Gus 👍🏿👍🏿
He's the joey styles of football
absolute legend
Why is this man not doing NFL games…..he is missed
Never knew Gus was a Wayne County guy! For me, he only popped onto my radar, when he made theUber. In The Game: "O-Ja-Bo!" Listening to him, I can hear a little Ernie Harwell in his presentation, and story telling abilities. Wish he would have had the chance to call a game opposite Keith Jackson, Pat Summerall, Howard Cosell, or Bob Ufer.
Gus is awesome
Strikeforce legend Gus Johnson!!!
I think I had his old desk that he had when he worked in the WInston-Salem/Greensboro market at WXII!
Did he call the 1994 grey cup 😱 crazy game too
Gustavo Johnson
Love this interview
It's a cold night here in East Lansing how cold a guy could rob you with a bucket of water - Gus Johnson 😂
NFL bring this legend back!!!
Greatest play by play network announcer ever
9:34 is why Gus is the GOAT
💥📣“Go get it, and come back wit it.... that’s what his father Lawrence told ‘em!!” Gus Johnson on JK Dobbins at Ohio State University.
I thought he was great in breaking bad
I genuinely love gus johnson, and im usually going out of my way to avoid most nfl announcers. Also.... He looks exactly like gus fring! 😂
Hands down one of my favorite and kevin harlan
Gus Johnson is the 🐐 man! “You got barbecue back there and didn’t invite me!!!!….. hurt…..my….feelings!!!!
One of the best!
The best voice in all of sports
If Gus Johnson doesn't get to call a Super Bowl or NBA Finals someday then we have failed as a species.
Gus is the BEST. WATCH OUT!
This man has seen so many games it’s scary
Gus Johnson got dips all over the country! 😄
When Gus Johnson calls a game IT. IS. ELECTRIC!!
Wish Joel and Gus would call OU games for life
Hurt my Feelings!!!
Gus Breeny Eagle all of the best in the biz
Basketball in Columbia is not loud like it was in the big 12 & big 8
I used to carry a Lou Whitaker baseball card in my wallet for years. Gus would've made a great Tiger second baseman, if he only got the chance.
Gis Johnson is the best

Gus, you know what I mean
Gus need to do Knicks game once again filling for Breeny during his ESPN or ABC duties
He has a different voice outside the booth, deeper voice in booth
cutting onions fr
Crazy how all of these average to unproven guys are getting paid as if they're football players and everyone who watches football would rather listen to Gus Johnson make calls. I've never watch a GJ game that wasn't exciting or had something crazy happen. I wonder if the TNG would be better with him
HU!!!!!
This man should have a lead nfl gig at some point…. So much more refreshing than boring damn joe buck
My favorite by f
So he got an opportunity because he is black. Wow. Amazing.

Gus Johnson was good, but over the years he as become a hack. Especially a Michigan apologist.
