BlueTroop Walk-on

I am in the minority it seems but I am not a huge fan of the hire.

He has beautiful hair

And amazing abs

You'll just have to imagine them on the radio

SUAVO

maybe he can describe them to us.

Cougarclaw

Greg can give us a play-by-play on them

I have abs for radio.

That hair wasn't made for radio. Why put it under a bushel like that?

Pimpin4Paradise

I like the luscious haired lefty. He’s knowledgeable and articulate

i will miss Marc but I think Riley will do great.

Oompabluepaw

I think he’ll be good. Tony Romo esque.

That, and he’s well spoken, charismatic, and I think he’ll call it as he sees it

NWCoug

Excellent choice. He’ll be fantastic.

My first choice would have been Kuresa, but I think Nelson will be good

Thought he was in medical school.. guess not. Good luck to him

I think Nate Meikle was sideline guy while he was going to dental school

demon_llama

I thought he want to Standford Law?

BlueTroop

maybe that was it. his twitter bio doesn't mention dental.

If you're going to spend the weekend watching the game anyway. Might as well get

Interesting choice. Gotta admit I haven't really heard him analyze much.

StantonMac

5/21/19 10:33am

I’ve enjoyed hearing him as an analyst on 960

BYUButters

I've been pleasantly surprised by his analysis when I've heard him interviewed on the radio.

DrBYU

5/21/19 10:35am

He’ll be good. He’ll bring a coolness that wasn’t there before.

D.T. Survivor

Yes. I love Marc Lyons, but will be nice to have a more contemporary voice

Run-DMT

5/21/19 10:46am

Greg my boy, it’s a great day for a football game.

eysikal

5/21/19 10:50am

The use of the phrase “man alive!” in the broadcast will drop significantly

Run-DMT

One thing I might miss, actually

Loved Marc’s verbals. Reminded me of the old-times when we used to win at BYU

Heavens to Betsy, I've always wondered who Pete was.

I like it. Nelson is a good listen

I guess that answers the old question of what can be done to make The games even more unlistenable. I wonder if their

No one is taking that title from wrubell

Normally I’d agree but this guy was second in command in detailing an entire BYU football program. Arguably #1 in

Why no love for Shep?

Last I heard he was working on becoming a physical therapist...

Another male-dominated hiring process. Yawn.

Sherlock

It is male dominated. How many football color commentators

I actually like this move. RN and Jake Kuresa are tops for radio guests IMO

Those guys look like Hasslehoff on Baywatch, sucking in those guts

MatthiasG

You missed the best part(s) of Baywatch if that’s what you remember.

He'll bring grit to the booth!

I am so on board with Riley as the analyst. The dude took more flak than

Nothing against Riley, but I’d prefer Dennis Pitta #LivingRentFreeInJaromsHead

I thought Shep was kind of buff, looks like a girly man compared to Riley

Didn’t care for his ability as a player. But I think he will great at this.

I'm surprised. My preference would've been someone like John Beck, he's not...

Riley seems too narcissistic to me as well

So what qualifications does he have? Any experience in the booth?

I LOVE THIS. He is great on radio and always has really good takes.

Interesting pick. Why not Max Hall?
