State of the Hogs: ESPN’s Branch high on Musselman

Always under promise, over deliver. So many do the opposite.

I took the microphone to emcee the Hawgs Illustrated Sports Club program Wednesday with confidence that the keynote speaker was about to over deliver.

An online study of ESPN basketball analyst Adrian Branch left me in awe. It said he’s delivered his testimony — with a rich basketball legacy — to over 2 million and never was anyone disappointed.

Branch, a complete stranger, all but hugged me when I met him before lunch. I mentioned the 2 million number — full high school auditoriums or small FCA groups — and there was a grin.
