I pretty much only watch football....

Good:

Mike Tirico

Keith Jackson (yeah, he's old)

Kirk Herbstreit

Troy Aikman

Chris Spielman

Annoying for various reasons but credible:

Mark May (his pants go crazy for Reggie Bush)

Mike Gottfried (sounds like he has a mouthful of marbles)

Bill Curry (received a vocal chord transplant from a 4000-year old mummy)

Terry Bowden (his dad once told him, "When I get home, I'm gonna punch yo mama in the mouth.")

Bad:

Musberger

Anybody on CBS

Good to have another fan of the OLDTIME San Antonio Spurs.

One thing you can't overlook about Brent Musberger is the fact that he is at least interested in whatever game he is calling. Opposed to MIke Gottfried who always seems to have just been aroused from his nap , or Rod Gilmore, who is sure every team is overated unless it happens to be a California team. Then there are all those extras the networks use that were perfect when they played .

The great Terry Stembridge , before the Spurs there was the Dallas Chaperrals , then the Texas Chaperrals that split time between Dallas, San Antonio and Lubbock.

" there will be another day "

Also don't forget Dick Risenhoover the orginal Texas Rangers announcer.

Well, if we're going back to bygone days, give me the old SWC announcer Kern Tips.

gotta love the Jub.

The Jubenator is #1 !!! The "Do you believe in the Mean Green" line is one of the all time greats (ok - a little bias built in to that comment).

I also think Craig Way does a good job on the Longhorn's radio network.

I used to hate Joe Theisman, but he's grown on me somehow.

Oh, GreyOne we were speaking of mortals, need you speak of gods.

"Palmer looking to Hendricks for the sign......here comes the 2-2 to Spencer.....it's a fly ball to deep right center, Blair's on his horse, it's way back....and you can tell it goodbye"

might have been a call from a Baltimore-Texas game in '74 or so

for NFL, as a kid I always liked Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen on NBC doing the AFC game of the week, usually involving the Raiders, Dolphins, or Steelers.

      UNT enrollment declining

      I'm sure the Master's programs that UNT is seeing enrollment drops in are the university's top profit center. Their student population probably uses the least amount of on-campus resources during the program compared to undergrads and PhDs, and they're probably overpaying or seeing less student aid usage to be in the programs. The flip side of the coin is that it's entirely possible that people are starting to realize that employers don't really care about Master's level paper as much as they did 20+ years ago. As the state of the world is going this week, if there is a prolonged economic downturn and a depressed hiring market for undergrads, most universities generally see an uptick in kids graduating and keeping on with it into a Master's program. I would advise undergrads that they're lighting money on fire, but if you can't find a job or start paying on loans, it can seem like a real option to keep learning. Will it result in a higher level of pay once they first time enter the workforce? Probably not, especially in today's world of AI threatening lower entry-level jobs, and H-1Bs threatening the rest. But the average Gen X parents will still push University degrees as a solution to all their unemployed kids' problems, just like the Boomer parents did before them.

      Speakeasy Scrappy Hour

      Great bar environment and even better seafood restaurant next door. If you want a killer Italian Meat sandwich, arrive early enough to get one from Enzo's next door. Points if you sneak it into the Wilfred. 😅 Kudos to getting them to change the door pincode. I think it had been set to the year of Woodstock since the Wilfred opened.

      Coach O to Texas State

      Is it lateral if: TX State goes to the PAC-Reboot with one other AAC Team that isn't us Memphis and USF go to the ACC UTEP is in Mountain West We're suddenly playing Sam Houston and Tarleton State in a combined AAC-USA? That's nightmare fuel for me, and seems entirely possible if Mosley keeps on Mosleying along with status quo.

      Tulsa (3/14/25)

      Oh gosh. I grabbed a couple of tickets on Wednesday. Purchased them through UNT to do the green and white a solid. I guess 'Tier 3' means Toilet Level seating. Me and my guest will have an awesome view of the Tulsa band with these seats. Good grief. You know how you go to the Super Pit and inevitably someone is sitting in your seat when you get there? Yeah, I apologize in advance if I do it to one of you. I'm gonna be behind our bench like the women's games. GMG
