Bob Wischusen and Brock Huard to Call UM-MSU Game

If they can somehow manage to be pro-MSU during this game, they should probably each get a raise. ///////SSSSSSSS
Finding some positives in this predicted slaughter would be impressive. I can see hear it now...."another play for positive yardage" "that's just a preview of what (insert Stae player), can do" and so on and so forth, "lots of young guys" blah blah blah.
October 27th, 2016 at 10:35 AM ^
As a Washington alum, Huard may do his best to promote the Huskies over Michigan. Just sayin'.
October 27th, 2016 at 10:16 AM ^
I'm sorta tired of hearing people like Matt Millen say every penalty against Michigan is a "good call" while saying "I just don't see it" every time an opponent is called for one.
I know I'm watching through Maize and Blue-tinted glasses, but come on...

Im tired of Matt Millen breathing?
What , too far ?
October 27th, 2016 at 12:09 PM ^
I disagree. Millen seems to be pretty pro-Michigan. I guess I don't notice the comments about the calls, but from what I've heard he compliments Michigan's decisions and plays more than I notice anyone else.

I spent a number of years in Seattle while Brock was quarterback at Washington. After his football career was over he became a staple for sports talk in Puget Sound. He does a pretty good job with the play by play.
October 27th, 2016 at 9:13 AM ^
Who's refereeing the game? Please no John O'Neill this year.
October 27th, 2016 at 10:07 AM ^
Was looking for the name of that idiot crew.
October 27th, 2016 at 10:48 AM ^
Yeah do they ever announce that in advance? Pls god no
October 27th, 2016 at 9:15 AM ^
Huard is on the same level as Pam Ward, IMO.
October 27th, 2016 at 9:46 AM ^
Does color and Pam is PBP.
Same level of crappiness in your eyes? That's fair, but it's tough comparing two very unique positions.
October 27th, 2016 at 10:00 AM ^
I think O'Connor sucks...I also think MSU receivers suck. and theri O-line sucks. no..that wasn't so hard. lol
October 27th, 2016 at 1:06 PM ^
...and Dantonio sucks too.
October 27th, 2016 at 9:58 AM ^
Pam's voice is hard for me to take, but I still think she's better than Huard.
October 27th, 2016 at 9:17 AM ^
Brock Huard is an asshat, plain and simple.
I remember vs PSU last year he kept advocating Hackenberg scramble in space vs Peppers. Sounds like a man who did his research.
October 27th, 2016 at 1:11 PM ^
To be fair, Hackenberg standing in the pocket was pretty terrible as well. Scambling could've made things better.
October 27th, 2016 at 9:18 AM ^
I
Can't unsee.
October 27th, 2016 at 10:01 AM ^

This image is the first thing I saw walking out of a meeting just now.
I will immediately return to the meeting in an effort to become undisturbed by what I have just seen.
This may not end well in my inner thoughts.

Anyone but Matt Millen! He can almost single handedly ruin a Michigan gameday for me. He thinks he is so damn smart about everything; but if that was true he would still be on the sideline, not in the press box.
I'd rather have Spielman & Herbstreit call the ohio game, with Tressel doing the sideline reporting, then have Millen anywhere near our broadcasts.
October 27th, 2016 at 9:39 AM ^
I honestly have no problem with Spielman or Herbstreit's calling of any game. I think they both do a good job. Millen is usually fine. There's just a lot of hate from Lions fans.
Pro tip: try not being a Lions fan! /s
October 27th, 2016 at 1:10 PM ^
I think Spielman and Herbstreit are some of the better announcers at staying objective for sure. I do think they might have a tougher time covering The Game, but would still be better than Millen.
Also, it is probably just me, but from watching the last 2 buckeye games, it seemed that Herbstreit was slightly more biased, perhaps energetic when talking about the buckeyes vs their opponents.
October 27th, 2016 at 6:29 PM ^
why the /s? that's the best advice i've heard all day
October 27th, 2016 at 10:00 AM ^
I don't like Millen, but I'd rather have him than Huard. And I actually like Spielman and Herbstreit.
October 27th, 2016 at 11:45 AM ^
October 27th, 2016 at 1:05 PM ^
Yes... ask Millen a question about anything, he'll give you an answer. Accuracy or intellect be damned.
October 27th, 2016 at 9:53 AM ^
Fuck that. That would mean the game is BTN and I hate it when Michigan is on their network.

Wischusen is a really good PBP guy. I really enjoyed his call of the Indiana game last year.
Brock on the other hand...has some really bizzare metaphors he uses. I remember during the Penn St game last week he said Hackenberg had a "cereal box throw" and a "car wash" throw.
October 27th, 2016 at 9:26 AM ^
Wischusen is one of the few good PBP guys ESPN has left. But Huard gets on his high horse too much. He acts like he knows it all.. just like Danny Kanell.
October 27th, 2016 at 9:37 AM ^
I was hoping for Nessler and Blackledge.
October 27th, 2016 at 9:39 AM ^
And is replacing Verne Lundquist on SEC games next year. Tessitore took over Nessler's spot.
October 27th, 2016 at 9:40 AM ^
I think that Brad Nessler might be gone? I haven't heard him this year. Blackledge is doing games with Joe Tessitore, I believe, and they are easily Disney's best pair this year.
October 27th, 2016 at 9:41 AM ^
Nessler is with CBS now. He will take over for Verne next season as the lead CBS PBP guy.
I believe Blackledge is with Tessitore now, which is probably the best team ESPN has.
October 27th, 2016 at 9:39 AM ^
Bob Wischusen is great but he is stuck doing ESPN's "D" games because he doesn't fit the modern ESPN mold of being a bombastic blowhard who has no business whatsoever doing play-by-play. Guys like Steve Levy who just suck sooo horribly.
October 27th, 2016 at 9:46 AM ^
Levy has been great on Sportscenter for years. His football play by play abilities though are subpar at best.
October 27th, 2016 at 9:48 AM ^
Should not be calling games PBP. You can tell they are so much better suited for those round table discussions and leading a panel.
Between the two, Levy's 900 times worse. At least Fowler can inject SOME life here and there. Levy's call of Lewis's Wisconsin INT was pathetic.
October 27th, 2016 at 9:55 AM ^
Really? Chris Fowler is one of the best in the business. I agree that he is more suited for shows like GameDay, but think he is great with play-by-play.
October 27th, 2016 at 10:04 AM ^
He's been doing it for what, 4-5 years for college football? He's never been a main guy until they started the playoffs, at least from what I can remember.
And when I do watch a broadcast he does, his describing a play is like JV when compared to the good ones.
He's a great overall guy for the big events, but I think his regular "in the trenches" work for games is pretty bad.
October 27th, 2016 at 11:53 AM ^
You forget that he used to do the Thursday night games with Lee and Kirk.
October 27th, 2016 at 9:49 AM ^
I'm fairly certain that Steve Levy has had several bloody mary's prior to any game.
