Give me Vaughn!

With Duke and Butler separated by one point at halftime, this game seems destined to come down to the final minutes. Can CBS please, please, please bring in Gus Johnson to close this thing out for Jim Nantz?

Instead of getting a frantic, in-the-moment, memorable call from Gus, we'll instead get some thoroughly rehearsed play on words from Nantz to announce which ever team wins the championship. You know, a line Nantz has probably spent the last two days in his Indianapolis hotel room planning and practicing. Somehow, the suits at CBS are okay with this even though every basketball fan alive isn't.

If I'm the NCAA, I make Gus Johnson being the Final Four announcer mandatory for CBS to keep the television rights after this year.
