Yeah that’s crazy. Heard it on Werner’s podcast and was floored.hope he stays and can use it in recruiting lol. ‘Michigan wanted me!’Is Jamison to Michigan still a possibility? I haven't been keeping tabs on UM's coaching staff turnover.
can you think of a broadcast booth “color man”, not a sideline reporter, who was not a player of the sport at, at least, the level of the sport that they are broadcasting .yea, I LOVE Robert’s writing , but he’s actually hard to listen to. He just doesn’t have the gift for what’s needed to talk on radio/Tv .
the skills needed to successfully add color to a radio broadcast are not held by many
Dennis miller!! lolcan you think of a broadcast booth “color man”, not a sideline reporter, who was not a player of the sport at, at least, the level of the sport that they are broadcasting .
Right off the top, I can’t.
Surprised at the “play” this suggestion received.
Then later Tony Kornheiser.Dennis miller!! lol
Howard Cosell, Dick Vitale, Jeff Van Gundy . . .can you think of a broadcast booth “color man”, not a sideline reporter, who was not a player of the sport at, at least, the level of the sport that they are broadcasting .

if only he wasn't 79 years old alreadyBring Grabowski back.
Bruce Weber.can you think of a broadcast booth “color man”, not a sideline reporter, who was not a player of the sport at, at least, the level of the sport that they are broadcasting .
He worked Illini games for 26 years. He had to age at least 50 years in that time.if only he wasn't 79 years old already
Bruce Weber.
Bruce played baseball at UW-Milwaukee, but not basketball.
pretty sure it starts when they get back from spring break : so mid - late March is about rightWhen does spring practice start? Late March? For ~3 weeks?
Spring game is Saturday, April 20. Usually only a couple of days before the end of spring practice.When does spring practice start? Late March? For ~3 weeks?
Yes. Ran into Robert after the Maryland game last weekend. He noted that Martin was there at the game and had just announced privately he was leaving. His children are now of an age where he really can't/shouldn't be taking 12 weekends away during the fall. That's apparently the proximate cause. Understandable. Hope he returns when they're grown.Is Martin stepping down from the broadcasts?
Isn't McCarren still doing Packer games? He would be great for a few years - 72 now, though.Larry McCarren? His schedule should be wide open.
honestly, I’d tune in if beckman did a game. That could be gold. His schedule should be wide open too.
As long as it’s not a Stephen bardo type. I remember watching some basketball games and he seemed to basically be rooting for the other team. If you’re an Illinois guy in broadcasting and the illini are playing I expect to hear some very biased points of view in favor of the illini. In his defense though I think he was working for BTN.
Then later Tony Kornheiser.
And of course coaches too. John Madden never played in the NFL, but Pat Summerall did.
