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.

Timbeaux38 299 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 If the team winds up having a special year (my gut says it very well could be) this may be one of the most Auburn things we could imagine. Go get em' Andy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homerish?........the times I've had to listen to LSU radio when playing Auburn in football, baseball or basketball.......it would be hard to best LSU homerish.......with that said I do agree with above........I expect Stan to be a liitle homerish......in fact might make me mad if he wasn't.

Stan has every right to be homerish, he played for AU. He just sounds a little whiney and harps too long on the questionable calls, he doesn't do it too often but it has happened. Congrats to Andy though, he will do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigeraddikt 1,603 Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 Andy Bercham is a wonderful choice, and in short order he will prove more than capable of being the voice of Auburn sports to the masses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have not got over Stabler's "run in the mud 1967". Bammer tackled our would be tackler in the backfield and blatantly so. Announcers complained, Coach Jordan complained. I still complain. Congrats to Andy. Great person and sure he is honored and humbled. Feel that Rod would be pleased. Who knows, maybe he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUsince72 11,084 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I can't speak to any outside announcers except I used to really like Wes Durham of Ga. Tech but I'm not sure he's even there anymore. I'm happy with the hire. I think Andy has a chance to do really well and be beloved. I remember it took me a season or two to warm up to Rod but I loved him before long. I suspect Andy will be the same. War Eagle Mr. Burcham!

Warbird82 160 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I can remember having this same conversation when Jim Fyffe suddenly died..."No one can replace him...whoa is me". Andy will do a fine job for the Auburn Family, this I am confident in. Congratulations Andy! Break a leg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulftiger66 166 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 When I tune in to the Auburn Network to hear a football broadcast I want to hear an "Auburn homer" announcing the game. The more homerish the announcer is the better it is for me for me. The contrast is like this (Auburn with the ball) : "Carnell takes the handoff at the 3, can't find a hole, tries to bounce it outside, cuts back, gets a block, stutter steps, runs over a man at the one and scores....TOUCHDOWN AUBURN", versus (Auburn announcer calling other team's offense) "Well Stan we need a big stop here, 3rd and 8 at the Auburn 25 yard line with the ball on the right hash. He takes the shotgun snap, throws a little swing pass to the right, the wideout catches it in stride, avoids a man and scores. Time for a quick station identification. This IS the Auburn Network". I can still hear Rod doing that. I'll be listening to Andy's first broadcast of the Oregon game on the radio in a couple of weeks. I think he will be great. War Eagle.
