UNT alum Dave Barnett returns to the broadcast booth to call play-by-play for UNT-Texas Southern FB Saturday on Channel 21.

Chancellor breaks free. He's to the 40, the 50, the 60...

(too soon?)

Guilt setting in. I hope Dave is in the clear and calls a great game.

It may be that the grind of traveling with a MLB team is too much for him right now. I think we have one of the absolute best radio team in college football and having Dave call the TV broadcast it better than what most teams have.

If I send him cupcakes, can I get a shout out?

Is this for an ESPN 3 broadcast? I don't see the game listed on DirecTV for Saturday. I was hoping to DVR the game for later analysis. Anyone know?

On my DirecTV guide it shows the movie Jawbreaker Saturday night. Can anyone else with DirecTV confirm?

That must be what they are labeling the game after the QB hit last saturday night.

That's what Time Warner Cable says too, but keep the faith. It will be updated.

Interesting week, kind of a full-circle thing going on. 20 years ago I was a broadcasting student at UNT, stepping into a press box for the first time to do color with Rich Phillips on Lewisville Fighting Farmer Football on KNTU...dreaming of being the next Dave Barnett. This Friday I will do play-by-play for Lewisville at Ennis on TXA 21 with my broadcast partner of 7 years LaDarrin McLane (who was on those Lewisville teams I called) and then Saturday I will be doing color on TXA 21 as my alma mater takes on Texas Southern. Doing play-by-play? None other than Dave Barnett. Don't know what to make of all that except that I am blessed.

Is this the best choice of words by Eric Capper?

“It was a no-brainer, he’s a natural fit,” said Eric Capper, senior assistant athletic director.

Capper seems to talk without really thinking things through quite often.

That is so wrong it's worth a +1.
