The level of detail you need to have in a radio pxp call is infinitely more difficult because you have to "paint the picture" for the viewer. A TV broadcaster essentially just has to identify and sometimes silence is the best thing he/she can do. Verne's call of the Kick 6 and how he laid out for over a minute after the score is a great piece of play by play that wouldn't fly on radio. Here's some examples for the same play with the ball spotted at the opponents 41 yd line. TV style play call - "Newton hands it off to Dyer and he'll go to his right and pick up about 3 on the play." Radio style play call - "Newton comes to the line with two wideouts left and one to the far side. Dyer is in the backfield to his right. Snap back, handoff to Dyer up the middle now bouncing it out to his right. He's across the 40 and taken down to the 38 for a pick up of three." Essentially, TV is much easier. The skills don't translate well and that's why most guys start in radio before moving to TV. Much easier transition that way. Didn't say TV broadcasting = Radio broadcasting. Said Andy will be just fine because he has done radio broadcasting for over 20 years. Ditto with meshing the timing with Stan because they have both worked their respective positions 17+ years.

I've done radio broadcasting for over a decade. I'm telling you from experience that the first time I called a football game was a whole different animal because I primarily did baseball and basketball previous to that. It's not something that can be replicated easily. I think could Andy could handle the job, but I'm trying to bring the perspective that just because you have broadcasting experience doesn't mean you are the right fit for a gig. Just because someone is a chef doesn't mean they can cook BBQ ya know 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cctiger 571 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Well,whoever it is I will still be tuning in on my trusty radio like I have been since 1962. Auburn football Saturdays are just not the same without the ole radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Fantastic decision. This is the only guy that bring any sense of normality back into the booth at this time. If you don't follow baseball and haven't listened to Rod and Andy call games, they were best friends and had incredible chemistry. I'm looking forward to hearing a little piece of Rod every time Andy is in the booth. This is not the sexy pick that people may have wanted to see, but it's the best pick. Rod's best friend and right hand man taking over his legacy. I love it. War Eagle Mr. Burcham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I am OK with this...JMO but the broadcast team should not be making the game about them ...or trying to become the focus of attention on exciting plays. Give us an honest description, focus on the game and what's happening..... and don't get too homerish on questionable calls or plays.... all I'm looking for.

tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Andy is also now the legal guardian of Shelby and Joshua Bramblett, Rod and Paula’s children. Pretty neat how Andy is kind of taking on the mantle of many different aspects of Rod’s life. A lot of people struggle with finding their purpose in life. I think Andy has found his purpose and I am so excited for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
