A note, friend Bay… Your title suggests your poll should be Hanni focused, but your poll questions are uncharacteristically unfocused, addressing KU lean player in general.

To cover the bases, I do not listen to Hanni — or anyone else — doing game coverage, any game, not just hoops.

I voted Other because I do listen to HawkTalk on kuleanplayer, but not games unless it’s all I have available. That’s any KU sporting event of interest to me. I have made the occasional exception when I simply cannot stand the tv crew, but more often than not I’ll just mute the game instead of trying to sync kuleanplayer with the tv feed.

I would never deny anyone the right to make a living, within the laws of God and most of societies...if the audience desires change I would think it could eventually come about. I would just appreciate both he and Greg getting the names of the players correct (it is early though).

In addition to KU athletics events (not all of them, sadly), they also do the HawkTalk coaches shows (e.g., Self, Leipold, baseball coach Dan Fitzgerald). That’s usually when I listen in.

I listen to a couple KU podcasts, but not sure if they’re related to lean player.

I listened to the PR games, and had no idea who the announcer was. I didn’t care for him, then found out it was Hanni. I just found him annoyingly over hyped and “enthused”. It didn’t match the tenor of the game at all, and I just muted it and watched in silence.

On a somewhat related note - where will Bill Walton end up now that his conference of champions is kaput??

I miss Bob Davis immensely. This Hanni character is awful. I don't know what the options are but man...Hanni is one of the worst announcers. I'd prefer Chris Piper and Dave Armstrong.

I listen when I remember and unless the game is on CBS.

For quite awhile it seemed I was the only one who had a problem with Hanni! Thanks to all who expressed my thoughts and more.

Not particularly a fan of Hanni. I have come to tolerate Greg Gurley. I don’t feel too strongly about either Hanni or Gurley but it wouldn’t break my heart if either were replaced.

Don't worry about the mules, just load the wagon!!

I am one of the two who voted “ Listen all the time!”. I like Brian and Greg and for football I like Brian and David.
Any teams announcing crew, in any sport, is always biased and the aforementioned trio have a healthy dose of that. Good for them.

While driving today I had ESPN Radio on, they frequently, frequently and continually, switch between games and always grab the feed of one teams announce crew. After listing to a dozen or so homers, I am doubly glad to have Brian, Greg and David.
