Any radio announcer speculation?

I honestly wouldn't mind Chris Berman a few cocktails deep calling the game

I doubt nowadays Berman can make it up the stairs to the booth. ☺️

I like the idea of having separate announcers for each team. No need to have the football announcer call men's basketball too.

Also would be really cool to see them get a big name like Chris Berman.

There are economics involved. Most sportscasters put together multiple jobs from multiple employees. You can get someone better if you're offering them more work than if you are offering them less work.

How about a hologram of Marty Glickman?

Surprised that no one has been picked yet. Season is right around the corner.

This might be slightly off topic but I'd like to see the play-by-play and commentating "shared" by both the home and away teams. Play-by-play by the home team, commentating by the away team. Reason: Adds a freah approach to the listening experience. Too many times I see one thing on screen and hear the announcers completely blow the players names involved. Having an announcer from each team working together may clean a lot of that up, add tidbits about the opposition viewers/listeners probably won't get from the traditional way announcing is done. Before you poo poo this think about it. Having guys not normally working together may bring out the A-game of both. I originally thought about this watching national coverage of major league baseball. Instead of having a the Fox or ESPN guys do it, have an announcer from each team cover it. Would be nice to see the AAC do something different than what everyone else does. Step out of the box and give the folks something different to experience.

Marty was the greatest.

Marty was the greatest.

And he actually did UConn football and basketball in the early 80s.
