Let's go after some guy named Clement who probably 8 months ago thought Lynchburg is where they made Jack DanielsSly Fox wrote:Nick rocked it last season and I expect more fo the same from him.Not that I want him to leave Liberty, but someone's got to give him a shot at least regional baseball TV in the next couple of years. He's good calling a baseball game on radio, but holy crap he's phenomenal on a TV baseball game.

SuperJon wrote:I have said it before and it bears repeating...Nick has a chance to go national. I totally could see him calling games for any of the ESPN networks college or pro...he probably is one of the best in the country.Sly Fox wrote:Nick rocked it last season and I expect more fo the same from him.Not that I want him to leave Liberty, but someone's got to give him a shot at least regional baseball TV in the next couple of years.

This move once again proves that someone locked Kevin Keys out of the room, which is never a smart move because he is the smartest man that has any connection to our athletic department! Most of these decisions on campus are made by people who can't walk and chew gum at the same time and couldn't tell you the difference between a 2-3 zone and man to man defense. Nick and SCAR had great chemistry, that is needed even more when you are continuing to not win more than 15 games in a season. I can't tell you how excited I am to see us in action against Randolph Macon Women's College, Bluefield H.S, Central Penn Station and the Cincinnati Christian BengalsYep. He was the only reason I'd watch a 20 loss team on TV
SCAR wrote:Totally Hijacked Coach's thread but:FIFY
I appreciate the love guys. Of course you are THE ONLY 3 who watched the broadcast so you guys could be perceived as a little biased
No really though I hope Nick and Clement can develop the chemistry that Nick and I had in our short time together.

As much respect as he may have for scars work, I can see the reasoning for wanting to go all in house. Let's see what happens when it comes time to decide who is doing play by play for football next year. Tilly has been just okay IMHO. Nick would be an upgrade.

BJWilliams wrote:What you may see as the sports broadcasting classes (I think there was talk of that at some point) iget rolling is students getting opportunities and developing broadcasters that can either be used for LFSN or be sent out with much needed experience and demo tapes they can submit.Sports Broadcasting is the name of a class on one of the new digital media DCP's. And if anyone where to suggest an idea like that it would be Dr. Mintle. And if this actually happens before I graduate
. Even though a few people on this board would react to me calling games more like this

Chris Lang wrote:Chief Marketing and Communications Officer. Stranger things have been done with job descriptions, but somehow I don't think doing play by play is in his. In any event working for the church does not make him in house with LFSN, so let's see if they continue going forward with switching to all in-house personnel.olldflame wrote:He works for TRBC.Sly Fox wrote:Both Mike & Nick are in-house.Are you sure about Mike?
