New play by play announcer

[LoinRipper]

Only listened to the pregame before I turned my tv on. Any feedback on the new Huskers play by play announcer? Tough shoes to fill. I hope he did great.

He will have to grow on me. Listened to him and Damon and you can tell he had some nerves

 

[NTXHusker]

He sounded like any of the interchangeable KRNU guys. Voice is not great (as in not iconic and a register up from what you think of with football announcers) and the call was meh. He’ll be fine I suppose, but I find it hard to believe there wasn’t someone more local who was better.

he will be great when hes 40. right now it sounds like a run of the mill pxp guy

Here are some clips from the game on Thursday for those who did not listen on the radio

he sounded like his nuts were getting twisted all nite long, he should get better as time goes on

 

[ZJSARENOTFREE]

He says chest high snap on every play and it’s annoying. I think he’ll get better, but seems to lack passion as of now as well.

Pretty pedestrian performance really. Definitely a tall order to replace Greg. I don’t wish that stress on anyone. It could be difficult to find someone that is on that level. I hope they have feelers out there for a big time voice. As a farmer I end up listening to the radio for over half the games. Almost take for granted having a true pro behind the mic.

The good news is, all our snaps are chest high. Can't take that for granted around here.

Couldn't they get Kugler

 

[EwokRhuler]

It's going to take him a couple seasons to get good at the job.

Should have just let Sipple do it

Should have just let Sipple do it

Sipple would just throw in the towel when things got tough.

 

[OmahaHusker]

He was fine for his first time. Someone needs to tell him it is "Sapp Brothers" and not "Sapp Bros"... though. That was weird

 

[Herbie]

what’s a gentleman make these days doing play by play for a CFB team?
Can’t imagine it’s over 100k?

People were skeptical about GS when he took over, ended up being an iconic voice of Husker football. First game give him time

He sounds a little generic, and his Nebraska references felt forced. He wasn't Warren Swain bad, and will probably improve, but I wish we'd let Pavelka do it while he's still around & able.
