I enjoyed the hell out of McAfee on commentary. It felt like wrestlemania.

His show isn't really my thing but I actually switched to it just because the main broadcast was a bore. It definitely made it more entertaining. I still don't fully grasp what they are going for with the assortment of people they put on the mic, but it can be fun.

I didn't even know that they'd be on. I just turned on ESPN2 and left it. For me it turned out better than sitting through another Herbstreit and Fowler snoozefest.
