This will definitely happen if the Hawks get to the Final Four. Check this out:

So what's the deal for the national semifinals on April 5?
For starters, TBS will televise both national semifinal games, the first time in tournament history the semifinal games will be televised on a cable network. But here's an even bigger nod toward the cable side of the partnership: The semifinals will air across three cable networks this year -- TBS, TNT and truTV. TBS will air the traditional Final Four broadcast -- aiming for neutrality -- with Nantz, Anthony and Kerr. But here's where it gets interesting: The telecasts on TNT and truTV will be team-specific broadcasts where a separate play-by-play announcer, analyst and sideline reporter (Turner and CBS will start negotiating with potential broadcasters after the Sweet Sixteen) will be encouraged to call the game with as much homerism as their pom-poms can muster. The "Teamcast" productions will have separate production crews, a custom halftime show, and custom graphics and stats geared toward each team. Commercials will be the same for all three telecasts. The title game will air on CBS two nights later.

I have to think the crew would be Dolph, Macausland and Jon Miller. I would love to hear Mac talking about how McCabe's touch from downtown reminds him of Kent.

I would choose Gus Johnson and pay him to be the biggest Iowa homer ever.

Damn, you are working overtime today.

He didn't give up trolling for Lent.

Damn, you are working overtime today.

Fortunately, he's not billing for those hours.

I might have been in (tongue in cheek) consideration a few years back..but after this year's collection of critiques, I am sure to be persona non grata.

Also will Dan Dakich be doing the homer call for tOSU and man crush Aaron Craft?

Actually I kinda wish he was doing the game on Wednesday, he would annoy the heck out of the Vol fans. The only game where he really annoyed me was against Ohio State with is love for Craft. Otherwise he has been spot on and he really nailed some of the issues Iowa was having against Northwestern.

Jon's on twitter!?

I guess. I read that he retwittered some McCabe thing and basically ruined the season.
