for the love of god, someone tell lowell galindo that a live broadcast of a basketball game is not a studio show. he thinks he gets paid by the word. every game, every year he asks his color guy 100 questions while the game is happening. it’s torture. it’s so beneath UT.

Galindo, Vitale, Walton all think they are the entertainment, not the game.
If you care about the game you just want them to enhance the contest by keeping you informed, not by making your ears bleed with
them enjoying the sound of their own voice.

I am curious to see where Gallindo lands next year.  Hopefully, some car dealership I won't ever visit.

for real. so much talent from the lhn has gone in to have much higher profile jons for the flagship, while lowell has remained marooned on the lhn, mercifully hidden away from most of the public. i can’t imagine espn will be jumping to promote him anywhere, he’s too milquetoast for fox, he’s too unprofessional for cbs; gonna be interesting to see what becomes of his employment once they shut down the lhn.

Walton is a national treasure.  With slight dementia.

Relegated to ESPN+ broadcasts of 2024 Big 12 games, probably.

I don’t think it’s necessarily that he has remained hidden and wasn’t promoted. He’s from San Antonio—I got the sense he just liked living back “home” and having the job he had. He occasionally got to do national broadcasts in both football and basketball, but for the most part, he had/has a cush job and gets to be around his family. 

 

What he does after this? My guess is he just gets shuffled back into the ESPN groupings unless he wants to venture off and do his own thing (podcast, go to another network, etc.)

holy shit, a Galindo podcast?  I'd rather be waterboarded.

and yes he has been trying to find a schtick and catch phrase for years.   It's why all he does is talk for the entire 2 hours of a basketball game.  It's the real life version of throwing shit on the wall and seeing what sticks.

he talks and is fake excited the entire time and then goes Gus Johnson mode.  Gus Johnson mode is OK but when you talk and are fake excited the rest of the time GJ mode sounds even more ridiculous.

He's especially annoying for those of us who grew up to Wally Pryor and Ron Franklin, Frank Gifford, Pat Summerall.  I rarely wish we could go back to the way things were, this is one area where I do.  Even Cosell was easier to stomach than Galindo.

I bet he joins the clown show on the sec network.

This is a rare time I actually have a personal connection of sorts on a topic. Let's just say Galindo, as surprising as it may be to some here, has some pretty high up allies in Belmont. I'd be surprised if he strays too far from the nest.

He was a presenter at the team banquet on Sunday, so I’ll buy it. I bet they move him into the Sports Information Department if he can’t catch on in the ESPN universe. 
 

I really wish they’d cut him loose. He’s the reverse Bill Little. Just overly negative on little things that nobody gives a shit about. 
 

Meanwhile, the much more talented Alex Loeb roams the Siberian wilderness because he got a DUI 10 years ago.

Lowell Galindo isn’t going anywhere. He had his contract with ESPN re-upped at the time the layoffs were being announced earlier this year. 

He's a shrewd negotiator.

Lowell Galindo talks way too much.  He likes to hear himself with gross hyperbole.  Fake excitement about each okay.   Stop him.  For heavens sake let the other guy say something
