Okay. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the same Doug Graber that has been the color guy on ESPN Plus' coverage of the Sun Belt games over the past several years? Now the Defensive Coordinator at Ball State? This could be just the edge Ball State needs over us. ;) If someone else picked up on this previously and posted, sorry I missed it.

IMO, if he coaches like he commentates, should be a big day for Riley. I just wish it was Sam Smith taking over their offensive side of the ball. That would really be offensive.

Good find. Yeah, that is definitely the guy who ruined many a SBC broadcast (along with co-conspirator Smith).

BTW...the Ball State head coach , Stan Parrish........has a horrible record as a Division I-A head coach. I believe his record at Kansas State was 2-31. Parrish was head coach at Marshall (when they were I-AA and did much better there).

At least this means we won't have to fight through his fine work during the telecasts this year. I wonder what talent ESPN will send in to replace him.

If you look at his bio....it says that he ended his ESPN work in 2007. So, I guess they had someone else working with Sam Smith last year. I can't recall who it was.....anyone remember?

I saw that too. I actually still have the UNT FIU game on the DVR from last year. I went back and looked and it was still Doug Graber and Sam Smith. Guess the bio is wrong.
