topekahusker Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Greg Sharpe, who handled the season after Rose resigned starting with the KU game, has deflected all questions during his nightly call in show on WIBW 580 here in Topeka. Just wondering if any rumors are surfacing. Quote Link to comment

I haven't heard anything either, but I think Greg Sharpe did a great job filling in especially on such short notice. Quote Link to comment

Just wondering if any rumors are surfacing. the dudes on 1620 said Pinnacle made a statement that it would be announced in January, however they knew from their media circles that it was going to be Gregg Sharpe Greg is a K Stater through and through but very objective. The Cat fans initially did not like it when their AD Tim Weiser sold out the rights to broadcasting K State sports from the flame thrower WIBW here in Topeka to another Kansas network. But, I haven't heard much chatter recently about Wyatt Thompson, his replacement on the new network. And yes, I agree, he did a great job IMHO as a last minute replacement. He had the color commentators in stiches on several occasions. They were laughing out loud with him on comments he made during the live broadcast. He isn't a bad choice. And a bonus...his wife is a very pretty and confident news commentator. Amy Lietz has done local news here for years. In fact, I heard a local caller during Greg's sportscast ask Greg if he decides to go to Lincoln, if there was a chance he'd just commute. He said no because of the commitments he'd have to make to speak to groups, coaches shows, etc. Then the caller asked if he went to Nebraska could Amy stay behind. He chuckled and responded...no it will be a package deal. Quote Link to comment
np_husker Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I have no idea who it will be, but I still think the whole thing with Jim Rose is weird. I have no inside info or anything like that, I just personally find it odd. Quote Link to comment

Honestly, I'm not even sure who he was referring to...... he said he'd let me know more after it's been made "official". Quote Link to comment

BobbyNewcombeFan Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 • And you are?So many people attended Amy Lietz's wedding that "we even had people there we didn't know," said Lietz, 6 and 10 p.m. news anchor for KSNT. "We had no idea who these people were." When she married Greg Sharpe on Sept. 16, 1995, the couple were on competing television news broadcasts. Now the Voice of the Wildcats, contributing play by play commentary for Kansas State University football and men's basketball for WIBW Radio, at the time Sharpe was sports director for WIBW. Lietz estimated 550 to 600 people attended the wedding. The newlyweds greeted guests as they were ushered out instead of in a traditional reception line. "There were a couple of people where my husband and I kind of looked at each other," Lietz said. "We're sure appreciative they were there; it was just a difficult situation. 'How do we smooth this over?' It was kind of an awkward situation." "It is a little embarrassing," Sharpe concurred. "When you have that kind of mass of people, you're probably going to have some you don't know." http://www.juneauempire.com/weddings/story...orstories.shtml Quote Link to comment

And, their wedding experiences. http://www.juneauempire.com/weddings/story...orstories.shtml Quote Link to comment
