Hans is a good color commentator overall...only knock is his self-promotion
He's a little over the top letting the world know about it whenever he predicts something correctly...especially if it's one of his "keys to the game." Like when a safety blows a play for a huge gain by the opposition and he jumps in with..."see, that's why it was one of MY keys to the game...I knew that would be important."

If he has confidence in his predictions then he doesn't need to act like it's a big deal when one of his predictions is correct and/or remind us multiple times each time he was right. Also, he's mentioned Rob Morris a couple of times over the last two broadcasts, which highly suggests to me that he reads CB regularly.

Also, I haven't listened to wrubel much in the last few years but had to listen to about 5 quarters of the first three games because I was on the road driving. Maybe I was nose-blind to it in the past, but it's almost like he is trying to come up with the most meaningless stats possible to share. Does anyone care about coin toss statistics or how often BYU has won after giving up a punt return for a TD on the second drive of the game? I'm semi-okay with the trends analysis in terms of W/Ls when BYU is leading under Sitake at the half, but it blows my mind how Greg loves to share stats that are completely meaningless. He's also slipped a lot when it comes to letting radio listeners know what's actually going on in the game during the play and I'm often figuring out how the prior play went based on down and distance, which is a problem for radio listeners.
