They must be bringing in a former Ranger

To do PBP? Who?

I know Josh was the source of some e-brake moments over the years, and was considered by many to be annoying, but I grew accustomed to him and I think I'll miss him. It depends on who replaces him I guess... BALLGAME!

I too was shocked when I saw. I personally liked Josh a lot since he was a baseball nerd but I didn't mind his homer calls and the fact that he and his family lives in the community and are actively involved in it. As for Dave Barnett he is perfect for radio. I think he has a great voice but it is better for radio and I think the Nadel/Barnett team is great. I am curious who they are going to replace him with....I really hope that he is an energy guy like Lewin and who caters to the masses and is in tune with pop culture to an extent....I have seen a lot of other tv broadcasts and they are absolutely terrible and boring as hell.

I wonder if Green Guy Bass is a candidate :ph34r:

Bummed by this. I got accustomed to them as I did Holtz/Nadel on the radio years back. I'm sure he'll find other work.

Maybe we could hire the uy doing the Charger's games.

I always sensed that Grieve merely tolerated Lewin's presence and was annoyed by the pop culture references that he didn't get.

Personality conflict?

Grieve is just an irritable guy. Some nights he's joking around and happy, and other nights he's silent or doing the bare minimum. Have we already forgotten his "I don't give a shit!" comment from last year? :lol:

Good Move, by the Rangers organization, they have been making all of the right moves, since Nolan Ryan has been involved.

Josh was a real dweeb, and so annoying.

Sooooo many jokes here. What did he do to earn your wrath, say that a hurricane in DFW was impossible?

I think you hit the nail on the head. There was underlying tension between Lewin and Grieve all year.... I actually liked both of them in their roles as Rangers announcers, but at the end of the day if there was friction between the two of them "Mr. Ranger" Grieve wasn't going anywhere!

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
