Smh can't believe we didn't get Jason Benetti, JUST ANOTHER FAILURE OF THE SCHOOL

I'm willing to give him a chance. Seems like another money issue. I'm sure better ones were out there, but we now have to take the girl home from the dance.

Holy **** dude. Take a break from this site for a bit. I get I’m not a positive person but you really need help at this point.

AAA baseball for the Saints. Radio baseball daily is tough to do. Not from a describing the action but from knowing how to fill 3.5-4 hours every single day between pregame, the game, and post game. The Saints are a damn quality production.

Minnesota Golden Gopher basketball.

Minnesota State hockey. That’s a top 3-5 hockey school in the country. In terms of skill required to call a game PxP hockey is as hard as it gets to do well. A school like Minnesota State, in the state of Minnesota, isn’t going to let any random scrub off the street call their games.

Take a look at his resume again in a few days again. Maybe you’ll go from disappointed to apoplectic about the hire months after it was announced.

His resume is fantastic. There's no way to not be excited about what Learfield was able to do here.

Why don't you go back to looking the football schedule for a while.

Thank you clenz. I am actually very happy with the hire. While it’s always great to get someone with a connection, I highly doubt there was an option with JW’s talent. The quick preseason scouting reports was a new and fun idea.

Might actually hear the guy call a game before you decide he's not a good hire.

Like complaining about the food at a restaurant you haven't eaten at.

or complaining about a coaching or athletic dept hire before they've even started working the job.

How did Rima's broadcasting resume prior to getting the UNI job(s) compare to the new guy's?

I've been vocal that I like the hire. He's got a bunch of experience and the bits and pieces I've heard are very good. He fits right in with what young broadcasters today sound like. This isn't hiring a 25 year old from the OVC who has never run a marketing department as your lead marketer.

It's hard to compare. Sports media is so different now than it was 30 years ago and UNIs media contracts are so much different and a million times more complex. KOEL got to make the hire at that point and Rima was their sports director so they used it to market themselves. It worked way better than it had any right to and it was all to our benefit.

All of that is give and take of consideration to form a contract. Learfield saved $15,000 to pay the new guy $10,000 more than his previous gig. I don't need a break from squat. There are better ones for the job, but they all would have cost more money than what Learfield could pay. The perceived valuation of the product won't get the industry's best talent to apply because the pay would not meet the demand.
