Who was the "color" guy on the radio?

[Luther_Heggs]

Did anyone else listen to the game on the radio/internet last night? They had a different "color" guy from prior years. An old coach apparently (as he pointed out a few times). He may be a great guy and a loyal Panther supporter, but he did not do too well last night. I thought he brough a real high school flavor to the broadcast - something I really hate!

Okay, maybe I am being too hard on the guy. It was his first game (and since I missed the pregame I am not sure if he is going to be a regular or not), so he may get better. Still, I'd prefer if we keep Andy Griffith out of the press box, please.

Peterson was coaching CF's season opener in Dubuque. He'll be back next week. I was unimpressed as well.

Yes you are.

Jersey Jermier is a legend up here in Panther Nation.....and I am sure that many UNI faithful would take offense to your post. The fact that you even had to ask shows that you are not a regular UNI supporter.

Jersey is not not the normal color guy, but agreed to do it when the regular color man had a conflict last night. Scott Peterson the regular color man..I think is one of the CF football coaches and CF also played last night in Dubuque.

Share your opinion all you want, but keep the insults to yourself!!

I'm sensing a little sarcasm from Luther...

I wasn't....the "high school flavor" and the "Andy Griffith" comparison were uncalled for.

[Luther_Heggs]

Yeah...I didn't mean to offend the faithfull. Jersey is the man, of course.

I only listened to the first quarter, so they did not say his name (that I could hear). But, I suspected who it was...as he seemed to know the background of everyone.

I was joking a bit about Andy Griffith (referring to Jersey's age/story telling), but I don't back off the high school flavor remark. I think that is probably his nature. Some people probably like that (hey, he was still better than Zobel and Iowa fans loved that guy), but I prefer a less warm and fuzzy kind of commentary.

...And yeah, I'll try to keep my insults to myself.

Jersey is one of the greats when it comes to UNI. When I was a student manager, there wasn't anyone who showed us more respect for what we did. For that, he'll always have my endorsement.

I only caught a little of the pre-game on my way into town and the post-game driving home...but I loved his stories and he made me laugh a few times.

I'd say he needs a segment about Panther history during the broadcasts.

GO PANTHERS!!!!
