Savage Husker Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I hope he has a little enthusiasm to his broadcast. I’m not asking for total fan boy but I do expect a team/university affiliated broadcaster to a certain level of fandom in the call. Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Good choice. Should bring more enthusiasm to the broadcast booth. Matt was getting pretty dourly 1 Quote Link to comment
Slow yer Roll Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Great, now can we get some one in to replace that lady on sports nightly? 1 1 Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Her voice is not a radio voice but she is quite capable. She is an expert as a Athletics Dept spokeswoman. But it comes off very canned and scripted. I suppose most broadcasting is scripted but in the case of sports, maybe a little more spontaneity would be good. It’s OK to cheerlead but being serious, Frank and honest is important. Im afraid Benning will come off in these broadcasts as he has in those spring games. He often presents brash know it all assertions that usually are not close to correct. It’s fine to complement or criticize a player but be correct, not biased personally. He’s so opinionated and particularly high on himself. I will give it a listen but I’m afraid this dreadful season just got more dreadful. It’ll be especially tough for him if the losses get bigger now . Imo. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 He always seemed to do well on the sidelines for TV broadcasts. And wasn't he in the booth for at least one recent spring game? I think he'll do fine. Quote Link to comment
