College football on TV this weekend
Published November 19, 2009 College football , TV/radio 0 Comments
FYI: I’m the designated guest host on WVLK-590 in Lexington tonight for Larry Glover, who is on the road traveling, and in a momentary lapse of good judgement tabbed me as his Joan Rivers, though I have never had plastic surgery and have forever dated myself with that Tonight Show reference.
Anyway, I’ve recruited my Herald-Leader colleague Chip Cosby to chip in for the first hour where we can discuss Saturday’s Kentucky-Georgia football game.
The second hour, the callers can have at me, but remember you’re always supposed to be nice to the guest (host).
Airtime is 6-8 p.m.
College football on TV this weekend
Published November 12, 2009 College football , TV/radio 0 CommentsThe Media Approval Ratings continue today with Dave Neal, the play-by-play half of the SEC Network. Dave is a holdover from the Dave-Dave-Dave trio of the Jefferson Pilot/Lincoln Financial/Raycom SEC Network days. When ESPN bought the contract, it decided to keep Neal, while bringing in Andre Ware as color commentator. Dave is the son of Bob Neal, who at one time did play-by-play on the SEC TV Network.
So what say you on Dave Neal, thumbs-up or thumbs-down?
Previously: Andre Ware - Chris Fowler - Lee Corso - Bob Davie - Gary Danielson - Brent Musburger - Kirk Herbstreit - Todd Blackledge - Brandon Fisher - Brent Carney - Dan Rieffer - Rob Bromley - Alan Cutler - Kent Spencer - Dave Baker - Mary Jo Perino - Mike Cameron - Chris Cross - Dick Gabriel - Larry Glover.
