TLS2 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Saw this on KFAB online this morning: http://www.kfab.com/cc-common/mainheadline...article=2889307 Rose Ends Football Broadcasts Jim Rose announced Tuesday morning he would no longer be the play-by-play announcer for Nebraska Husker football games. Tuesday, November 6, 2007 During Newsradio 1110 KFAB's "Good Morning Show," Rose explained that he is stepping down as the "voice of the Huskers" immediately. Rose has called the games for six years. Rose said the job as the voice of the Huskers was rewarding, exciting and thrilling, but he had lost touch with important things in his life. Quote Link to comment

timberghost Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Who's the replacement? Quote Link to comment
huskerblutch Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 You think this is actually a firing? Think they are nailing him for the open-mic thing that happened a couple games ago? I hope that isn't the reason because he was just speaking the truth. I've never understood why radio/tv announcers for sports teams are always expected to be biased for the home team and not given the freedom to critisize.... doesn't make sense.. aren't they journalists? Perhaps they are more entertainer... I'd rather they are free to speak their minds than put on some fake crap. I'd like to know the true story behind this one. B Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I've always liked Jim Rose the person, regardless of whether he was a good Football Announcer. I wish him the best. Now, let's go find someone who is cut from the same cloth as Lyle Bremser!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
TheCropDuster Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 And somewhere, Gary Sharpe is smiling..... Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Well good luck to him in whatever he decides to do. Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Oh man! Does this mean I am not going to be able to listen to Marlon Lucky "take it to the hut" anymore? Crap! : Quote Link to comment
agibson95 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Kevin Kugler is the obvious replacement. Quote Link to comment
Dundermifflinite Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Kevin Kugler is the obvious replacement. not so fast my friend... Quote Link to comment
billdozer15 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I hate to laugh at anyone losing their job, but this is almost getting comical. Everyone knows the entire coaching staff is gone, our AD is gone. It seems that anyone associated with the BC era is getting canned, right down to the waterboy. In ten years, if someone mentions BC's name in Lincoln, will you be arrested? I love it......we are going to totally erase the 4 years of the BC era and if anyone ever speaks of it they will be flogged. Quote Link to comment

B I don't think it has anything to do with the open mic deal (though I have no proof), but it wasn't like he was letting F bombs fly or anything, he was just being critical of a very bad team.

cmb23 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Kevin Kugler is the obvious replacement. Would be interesting. I think he has a pretty good gig with Westwood One right now. Every Saturday with Terry Bowden. Of course maybe the travel would get old. Geez....should be an interesting show today. Tuesday press conference, Rose stepping down....I can't wait to hear what they have to say today on 1620. Quote Link to comment
agibson95 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Kevin Kugler is the obvious replacement. not so fast my friend... or Bo Pelini. Quote Link to comment
papersun87 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Kevin Kugler is the obvious replacement. Definitely. But with Jim Rose gone, I'm not going to be able to use these anymore: Quote Link to comment
