Who will be the next Sooners Radio Broadcaster?

[mikee likee]

I vote Spencer Tillman

[OU Engineer]

Personally I like Mark Rogers, but I think Toby Rowland will get the job...

[colinreturn]

Traber

[swardboy]

Henry Kissinger

[tommieharris91]

Brent Musberger

[cleller]

His mug is too famous already. (Spence Tillman) I like him having the national exposure, anyway. Great representative.

For some reason, Mike Ziegenhorn (ex-KTUL) jumps to mind. He's out of the market now, but still in Tulsa. I imagine guys from the OKC area have a natural advantage.

[OUNC06]

Do you really like Mark Rogers? I think he has been fired from OU once already.

[OUthunder]

Mark Rogers is a ****in tool. Give it to good ole JR.

[soonerbub]

Bob Carpenter

[Easting]

The Boz.

[StiffArmTrophy]

Me of course!!!

[SoonerPride93]

JR would be nice.

[mgsooner]

Eschbach

[waynepayne]

Eschbach


taht is not even funny.

[Dan Thompson]

Jim Cramer

[Soonerfan88]

I'm thinking it will be someone completely out of left field. I truly doubt it will be anyone currently in Oklahoma sports radio or tv. Spencer is extremely happy where he is and JR's Bells Palsy keeps him from doing anything long term.

Toby is such a good radio guy. Really like him.

With JR everything will be a barfight down in Muskogee!!! All Hell is breaking loose!!!!:pop:

[oumartin]

JR would be really funny. Beating Texas like a government mule...

Mark Rodgers is a freakin' arrogant tool. He's Jim Traber without having ever chased a japanese pitcher.

I like Rowland. Carpenter doesn't get worked up enough for me.

Most of the ones mentioned in this thread are not even play by play people. Do some research before you show how smart you are.

[sozo]

Is John Brooks free to take the job?Seems like he was doing Blazers Hockey the last time this discussion came up.Some of my greatest memories are of him calling the big plays!

Many of them are jokes too!!! Have a sense of humor!!!

[goingoneight]

He's doing the Union Redskins radio... obviously OU would be far better; it just depends on if he took the Union job as more of a "this'll be fun for a few more years before I hang it all up."

I'm thinking it'll be someone promoted already on the broadcast group.

We need someone with a good catchphrase like "PISTOLS FIRING!" or "GOOD NIGHT VIENNA!!!" Oh wait...Touchdown Oklahoma trumps all!

[1sooners1]

John Brooks and Joe C. will NEVER happen.

I look for Bob Carpenter as well.

[OmaniacU]

Matt Pinto

[Soonerson1975]

Doyle Hargraves and Carl from Slingblade

[silverwheels]

Jim Ross? Seriously?

[OU Engineer]

Do you really like Mark Rogers? I think he has been fired from OU once already.

I like that he's a huge OU homer on the Sports Animal, and I like that he tells people how it really is, but he does have a holier than thou attitude sometimes.

I had forgotten he used to do Toby Rowland's job (I think, or at least he was on the sidelines for something.)

No matter who it is, I hope they take off the slow pokes play by play guy and only get excited when something big happens for OU. Poor old BBS would get all jacked up no matter who was scoring, so I was always confused as to if I should be ecstatic or super pissed.

[Soonerson1975]

Jim Ross? Seriously?

I'd rather have Marion Ross do OU games than Jim Ross.

[oumartin]

I'm sure oudavid could call his sources and let us know..

I like them long pass plays, mmmm-hmmmm.

yeah, this will never happen...Joe no likey John and John no likey Joe

I still would like the Missouri guy myself...Cooperstein would be nice but won't happen

[BOOMERBRADLEY]

Chuck Cooperstein

[C&CDean]

I couldn't give a ****. Who the hell listens to radio anyhow?

[stoops the eternal pimp]

you do you old bastard...

[olevetonahill]

you do you old bastard...

Im Older than Dean an I dont listen to radio. ;)

[bigfatjerk]

Who listens to TV play by play guys now? I turn the TV down and listen to the music while watching games. It's actually more accurate half the time.

[boomermagic]

When will they hire someone ?

[sooneron]

Joe Piscopo could use a paycheck.

[Landthief 1972]

I couldn't give a ****. Who the hell listens to radio anyhow?

I couldn't believe it when I still saw a lot of old farts glued to their headsets when I went to the OU-AF game. I mean, seriously, it's 100 degrees, 100% humidity, and you're listening to Bob Butcher play-by-play ON PURPOSE? And these were guys sitting on the lower section on the 45 yard line, not people in the nose bleed section in the corner.

[LiveLaughLove]

No to JR. Suffice to say, he is not my favorite person. Hate even seeing him on the sidelines. Don't like him representing OU.

Yes to the NFL announcer guy, or the guy that does the "Heres to you..." beer commercials (if it isn't the same guy).

I think it will be Bob Carpenter though, which is good too.

I was at that game with an earbud in listening to Bob and he didn't butcher any more than any other play by play guy does. I was able to follow what was going on quite well and was shocked at how quickly with the action I was watching, he was calling it.

Since you are castigating those with headsets, I am assuming you didn't actually listen. So not sure how you can say he butchered it.

Oh I get it, it's the meme. It doesn't have to be true, just say it enough and it becomes true.

And yes it was very hot, but worth it.

[TrophyCollector]

What is your beef with JR?

[TrophyCollector]

JR + Ric Flair on color.

"To be the Sooners, you gotta beat the Sooners. I don't think so! WHOOOOOOO!!!"

[bigfatjerk]

What is your beef with JR?

Jim Ross has never been a play by play guy at any real level of sports. Not even at Atlanta. He was a color announcer there. He's got no experience as a PBP announcer in football.

[silverwheels]

And I don't really want the OU football program to be connected with the joke of a male soap opera that is professional wrestling any more than it already is.

[boomermagic]

I am from SE Oklahoma and i have no idea who Carpenter is ? Can someone enlighten me please ? Also, If you can post a link so I can hear his pbp voice I would appreciate it ? Thanks..

[StiffArmTrophy]

JR + Ric Flair on color.

"To be the Sooners, you gotta beat the Sooners. I don't think so! WHOOOOOOO!!!"

Lmao!!!

[Soonerus]

Billy Tubbs...

[LiveLaughLove]

What is your beef with JR?

Just not my cup of tea as a person. I guess that's the best I can say here.

Then again, I'm probably not his either.

[mgsooner]

James Hale. "And here's the Burger King heist of the game..."

[boomerinhou]

Pee-Wee Herman.



What???

:confused:

[Soonerus]

James Hale. "And here's the Burger King heist of the game..."

That's bad if you know the history...

[Soonerman82]

Josh Lewin

[texaspokieokie]

Josh Lewin

i thot of Josh,but i think he works for Chargers on week-ends.
he's good.

[XFollower]

Bruce Buffer. Google'd him and and he's actually from Tulsa.

"It's Time!"

[Sooners78]

Billy Tubbs...

I'm assuming that you're joking. Tubbs is horrible. The only thing more brutal than watching that OU basketball game a few days ago was having to listen to Tubbs.

[Sooners78]

I couldn't give a ****. Who the hell listens to radio anyhow?

I would if it were a good product. For the past 20 years, no.

[chewy75]

it will be the current play by play guy from Missouri

[OU GENO]

OK some very good names here, but let's get serious the one the SOONER NATION will love is------Steelman's UNCLE! I can hear it now OU beats texass and oswho like a rented very cheap rented mule!:mack: [hairGel]

[SoonerJack]

If it were possible to throat punch Steely's Uncle, I'd be first in line

[pb4ou]

Also just started working at the fan (105.3) in Dallas doing the mid-day show.

[SpankyNek]

Remember when the realignment stuff was going on and Dick Ebersol came to meet with Boren and Joe C.

There was a bizarre tweet or quote from Jim Nantz saying something to the effect of "Looking forward to calling OU games in the future" or something like that.

This is, of course, all wild speculation. Would you be happy with him?

(I think he's pretty good)

[JohnnyMack]

I like Bob Carpenter, but I don't know that he ever leaves baseball.

[OklaPony]

I'd like to hear Jim Byers give it a whirl, he was awesome at calling the horse races. If you can keep that **** straight 10 times a day football ought to be a breeze.

[mdklatt]

Toby Keith

:pop:

[mdklatt]

And coming down the sideline it's Roy Finch by a nose!

[MrJimBeam]

it will be the current play by play guy from Missouri

Tulsa SportsAnimal (am 1500) carries Mizzou Football and I had the opportunity to hear this guy a couple of times this year. He's not bad. Their color guy sounds just like Mike Shannon who calls St. Louis Cardinals baseball.

[SC Sooner]

If Joe C is smart, he'lll have tryouts for the pbp and color announcers and then when they whittle it down to 5 or so, they can just have SF.com members vote on them.

Lou Holth! :)
