If you've never been to the Gus Johnson Soundboard, you've been missing out. You can relive all of your favorite Gus Johnson soundbites with the simple click of your mouse. Truly you could spend an hour or so just clicking different combinations and listening to the man that made March Mad.
Sadly, Gus Johnson is no longer with CBS and calling NCAA Tournament games but you can still find his high-energy calls all over YouTube. Heck, you can even get t-shirts and hats with his signature catchphrase on them.
The dude is easily my favorite announcer based solely on his passion for each game he calls. He has energy, knowledge and makes the game entertaining. If you weren't paying attention and just heard him yell, you would turn to see what the hell just happened. He gets you involved in the game.
Now he has joined FOX and college football and has done a fantastic job there - with even some people hoping he'd replace Joe Buck as the normal NFL game of the week announcer. I don't have a problem with Buck but Johnson makes things more awesome.
So while I look forward to the NCAA Tournament, I lament that Gus Johnson is no longer a part of the action. As Johnson said to the Gonzaga faithful after they blew a 17-point lead to UCLA back in 2006: "Heart break city"
