    Walton can be humorous but I don't get why you guys love him so much. He's mostly annoying. It's mostly weird, corny old man humor.

    He's riffing his 1960s (technically early 1970s) merry prankster, chemically-induced alternative reality Schtick. Pick up Tom wolfe's electric cool aid acid test for a primer. Old man humor? Maybe, but also over the head of a lot of you youngsters.
    It's not over anyone's head and he has moments. It's not must watch like many think it is in my opinion.

    So you don't get it. It's ok to admit it.

    I couldn't stand listening to Walton when he did the NBA on NBC back in the 90's. He was pompous, arrogant, and a total hater.

    I thought I had heard that he went through some sort of personal crisis/issues after that era.

    Ever since he's been doing Pac12 games on ESPN he's been a gas. I love it. Him and Pasch are must listen to. He's just so over the top goofy. But I think that's really him. Not the brooding asshole he was 20 years ago.

    I agree he's better now than in 90's.

    College basketball is pretty lame if your team isn't good. I'll watch at least parts of Walton games though.

    Some people hate him. Those people are usually mouth breathers.
