After making a reference to Arrested Development, now fans are hoping for more references to the former Fox/Netflix series.
Really enjoying @RGIII as an analyst. Waiting for a money in the banana stand reference now

RGIII is already winning over first-time listeners.
First time listening to @RGIII do a broadcast in the booth. If you see this bro, I'm impressed man. Good luck to a bright future in broadcasting.

RGIII on the call for the OU/KU game, and I gotta admit…. He sounds really good at it so far. He’s a natural in the booth.

You can listen to Griffin’s call with Mark Jones on ESPN. With Kansas leading after the first quarter, this has the potential to be a signature call for the rookie analyst if the Jayhawks pull off the upset.
