Good for him. I always thought Trev was a very good analyst. He was always truthful in his statements without any run-around. I hope his play-by-play is as good as his analyses. Best of luck Trev!

and he didnt play favorites, if the Huskers sucked that day he said so. unlike the rest of the talking heads at espuke. that is probably why he got fired

[GSG]

Does anyone know about CSTV? Is it satellite only or what?

[dbetz23]

I get it as part as my digital cable sports tier.

[gamecocks]

You'll have to let us know how he does.

[ttheKid1*18]

I'm happy for him. I always thought he did a great job for ESPN, but I guess he wasn't anti-Husker enough for them. It will be great hearing him talk college football this fall, as he has a great knowledge of the game.
