Andy Katz

Dud they really bring in Andy Katz to narrate the Subway punt catch challenge?

If they just wanted that they should have hired the girl from the Yard Goats.

It was nicer when we had Erika Wachter doing that job here.

He needs a job.

 

[SubbaBub]

I feel bad for him. They can't give him a job in the booth or even as PA announcer?

Is he going to be Joe D's color man for BB?

How about paying him to write some positive UConn/AAC articles?

 

[whaler11]

He needs a job.

I understand why he is doing it. I don't understand why they don't use him for things he is good at.

Andy Katz narrating the Subway challenge is a great metaphor for UConn and conference realignment.

He was a great pickup but he’s so not a good fit for what he’s doing.

I'm glad they brought Katz in, even if the Subway challenge is below his credentials... After all, who else has the clout to say, "The kid was 3-for-4, but that last punt was garbage... free sandwiches for everyone!" ?

I'm not even that high on Subway, but I love free food and am heading out to redeem mine now =)

Katz is still under contract to ESPN. ESPN is honoring his contract by still paying him. That contract a non-compete clause. ESPN is essentially paying him through the length of his contract to not to work for a competitor. This UConn work does not violate his contract. It keeps him in the public eye so to speak. I'm sure he'd rather be reporting on college basketball on a much bigger platform, but this UConn job allows him to stay local (believe he lives in West Hartford) and do a little side work until his contract expires.

I just felt bad for him yesterday. Poor guy.

Agree that they need to find a better use for him

Thanks for the info. We were talking about Katz at the game and the main thought was feeling bad for the guy because he hadn't picked up a better gig. Now we know why.

How exactly do you redeem it? I feel like there's a 0% chance the New Haven Subway employees will have any idea what I'm talking about.

Hope for the best. The word got out to BWW for free wings with no problem.

Tell them you’ll share your crack.

When I walked in, I upfront asked what the UConn ticket deal was... buy a 30 oz. fountain drink, get a free 6-inch sub with your game ticket... amounted to $2.33 after Uncle Sam's cut.

I did go to Subway in Rocky Hill, which has great management and employees. Good luck in New Haven. Don't let a mediocre Subway deter you from collecting that sandwich!

Dang right. Is it just for today?

Yes, today only. Just picked up mine and was pleased to find Vitamin Water as a drink option.

 

[ZooCougar]

Met Andy a couple of times. He deserves a better gig.

 

[Chin Diesel]

I"ll never begrudge a man for taking a job. Any job. Will he be here for 10 years? Doubtful.

There's a lot of famous quotes out there about never being above taking work and doing your job to the best of your ability.

Katz is a great guy and he went up an even higher notch when he made Boeheim melt after losing to UConn.
