Rose Must GO

Walk-on
Jim Rose is giving the program a bad name. As a Husker from outside the state I find him such a cornball and nerd, which is not good for the voice of our program. His role on the Callahan Show is maddening as he tries to pretend he understands football technique and strategy instead of allowing Callahan to inform us what is really going on. Rose may love the Huskers but he completely disgusts me and keeps the nerd farmer image of Nebraska Football alive and well. Please make him stop!

 
I dont like him as a commentator anyway. Everytime we kick a field goal he keeps you on the edge of your seat whether it is going to be good or not. Personally, Stevo needs to complete the transition.

Lyle Bremser is teh win !!!11!!!!1! :thumbs

 
I know Keith Jackson is retired, but he loves Nebraska football, so maybe we can lure him back just to do radio! :thumbs You know the guy misses being involved with games on Saturday. THEN I would turn down the TV and crank the radio :woo

 
The problem now is that the TV is 2-5 seconds behind the radio call. It`s worse on FoxSports than ABC. I`d really like to listen to the radio no matter who is calling the action but it just drives me crazy when they are not in sync.

Just my 2 cents.......

 
I like Jim Rose. He always provides exceedingly interesting commentary, and makes listening to the game exciting. as someone else posted earlier about him, his commentary really gets you going even when he's just calling a 3-yard gain.

 
Never cared for Rose and his Dennis Miller-esqe cutisms. Kevin Kugler would be a big step up. This is Nebraska football and we should have a quality announcer even if all the games are on tv.

 
I don't care for Jim Rose at all. He has a big vocabulary and loves to show it off during Husker games, but he comes across as arrogant and it gets on my nerves.

I think Kevin Kugler would do an excellent job and do I enjoy his show in Omaha. He's great when talking about specific subjects or interviewing, but his impromtu skills need some work. He often tries to be funny, but it doesn't come out right. However, I still think he would be a huge improvement over Rose.

 
Being from out-of-state I have no problems listening to Rose. I had no idea that so many people dont like his game calling. And that's fine.

I remember Kent Pavelka's "Touchdown! Touchdown! Touchdown!". And that was hard to replace. But I'll take Rose because I'm not too picky. If anything, I wish I was like most of you and could go to a home game.

 
He is a disaster. I used to think that even though he was annoying as a "small case" of the herpes, he was very well schooled on the tradtions and history of Husker football. This morning on KFAB, there was question as to who was the last Outland Award winner from NU, and the answer obviously was Aaron Taylor. Lil' Jim went on to say "He was an All American guard, who the coaches tried at center for a few games, but when that didn't work out, they moved him back to guard where he won the Outland," or something to that effect.

Jim, you moron, Taylor played the entire 96 season at center, and was named a first team All American, and was one of the few players in the history of college football to be named first team AA at TWO different positions.

Get rid of Rose AND Fiala.

:bang :bang :bang :bang :bang

the problem is that rose tries to make *everything* seem 'exciting'.

i swear to god, the boy freaks out over a two yard rush at 1st and 10 the same way a running back busts loose with a 45yrd run into the endzone.

he's got the same tempo for everything straight thru the game. and that get real old after some 10 years.

 
Well, I like the tempo ;) Personal preference, I guess. And he's not always excited - you can tell when he doesn't like a certain development at all. It's fun listening to him do the play-by-play, especially when I don't have the alternative of seeing the game on TV...
