Your 2008-2009 College Football Bowl Game National Radio Announcing Schedule
Thursday, December 18, 2008
I always get requests to put up the radio teams when the announcing schedule goes up, but it's usually a bit difficult to find every outlet. Thanks to ESPN PR and some University Game Notes, I think we've got just about every bowl game's national radio coverage information.

There could be some gold in thar ESPN Radio highlights!
Couple of observations:
*Sports USA has decided to name only play-by-play announcers. Why not put the names of color analysts in there, too? I'm sure they won't be working by themselves.
*Also, put an asterisk on the Dec. 20 New Mexico Bowl. Looks like the same announcers on radio and TV.
ESPN Radio, don't involve C---n C-----d in any of your bowl coverage. Is that asking too much?
Meineke Car Care Bowl: ISP Sports Bill Rozinski and TBA

Desmond, according to a The506 board commenter, ALL the ESPN Radio broadcasts will be simulcasts with ESPN TV thru December 27. The WWL evidently figures, why pay an extra PBP guy for these meaningless games when the TV talent can just pull double-duty.
Erin Andrews ... on the radio??? WTF.
From the sun-splashed Rose Bowl, in her glorious blonde locks, oh, the humanity!
I hate to be a pessimist AA, but the current system sucks and the only college football game worth anything is Friday's matchup between Richmond and Montana.
2 things: How DARE they put Erin Andrews on the radio? She's still 1000 times better than anyone on television. Also, will Brent Musburger start the National Championship saying, "YOU are listening LIVE..." That would be weird.
Brad James, shut up. No one cares about your thoughts on a college football playoff.
Larry Kahn is not doing the Las Vegas Bowl - it'll be Eli Gold.
Whoohoo, Pammy's got another bowl game after all!
It's bad enough you can't understand what she's trying to describe on TV as you're seeing it, I can only imagine how bad it will be when there is no picture.
For the sake of outrageous completeness: ESPN's Dave Lamont will call the Motor City Bowl for FAU's radio "network" (one station in Ft Lauderdale that broadcasts at about 3 watts after dark.)
Humanitarian Bowl - Nevada Sports Network - Dave Tester and Jared Zebransky
Music City Bowl - Nevada Sports Network - Alex Shelton and Frank Wycheck
Mobile Bowl - Nevada Sports Network - Mike Grace & Ken Stabler
Pam on the radio!!!
