He doesn't bother me at all, either. During our games that he covers, he constantly talks very positively about the Ags -- way more than the other team we face. I know every commentator (except Gary Danielson) will talk highly of the teams playing (because those are the primary fans watching the broadcast), but he seems to talk more highly of the Ags than just about any other commentator...except Will Johnson, who I have hard time listening to.
I fully understand the hatred for what he did to the Ags when he played, but as a color commentator, he's actually really good and knows a lot about baseball. He also cracks me up with his "off-color" commentating, such as when he called his college cohorts coonasses on air the other day.
