Bradley extends radio coverage on WMBD

[Braveman]

Thanks DRU- how goes the golf game?

Went to Vegas over Labor Day and didn't fare well- and Coyote Creek last Friday was no picnic either!

I'll give him a shot, but I think the sheer amount of b-ball and coaching experience will be missed from Coaches Buescher and Stowell. That, I think Danny would have a hard time replacing.

I say give DA a chance. His TV presence may not have been the best but it wasn't terrible by any means. I agree DA won't be able to give coaching insight like Buesch and Stowell but he will be able to tell us what JL is doing in any situation any why is he doing it. Can't wait till 10-15-10. Now lets get a big with our last ride.

I can live with someone who may bumble somewhat due to inexperience over horrible awareness.

I remember a couple instances on the TV broadcasts the last couple years:

-The question was asked when a particular team had yet to score "how many points do they have?"

-8 blocked shots were attributed to David Collins in a single half by one of the on-air personalities.

I'm more than willing to give the guy a chance here, like I said I like the guy and have hung out with him at the last MVC tourney games, but I am very skeptical and think there were probably a couple better choices.

Well said. I'll give DA a chance, but I also believe that there were probably a couple of better choices out there.

Hersey Hawkins?

[Out of Balance]

Isn't a little premature to start criticizing Danny before he ever does a single game? Anyone who knows or has ever talked to Danny knows he is a little shy, and on the TV broadcasts he was clearly nervous. I think on radio he'll do a good job and will develop into a knowledgeable and informative color guy. Let's give him a chance.

THAT, to me, is the key.

Don't get me wrong... Skewer him after a few games if you'd like... but give the guy a shot!

You bet Everyone should get a shot Talking about shots, remember the home game he tied the record for # of 3's made Was it 6 or 7

[squirrelgotdead]

I didn't until just now.

I do remember him putting us over the top in the road game at Southern Miss in the '06 season. Yes they were awful. But prior to that, the DePaul season opener was like our only non-con road win in about 37 years (exaggerating, but not by much). . .at least it felt that way.

I don't think DA would have been hired if he didn't at least have some ability to talk. No question it's going to be tough to follow in Joe and Chuck's footsteps. Having done both radio play by play and color I can tell you it's much more important to have a good play by play man as you're the one who's driving the engine and then setting it up for the color guy. DA won't have a better guy to steer that engine than Dave Snell. Let's give DA a chance. Joe wasn't exactly John Madden when he started out.

[MacabreMob]

Congrats Danny! Good luck to ya!

And it won't surprise me if Danny and Dave will be traveling with the team for road games this year.

Does WMBD provide any way to listen to the games via a smartphone? Tried with my Blackberry, just can't figure it out. Would be very handy when I am on the road, without internet access.

Android with Flash... No BB or iPhone.

Too bad they are not a Clear Channel owned station.

Never thought I'd say that, but iheartradio is a cool app for picking up out of market syndicated stuff..

[Headless Bobcat]

I quote the underrated cinema classic, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

"I do believe in you. I just know you're gonna fail."

[BU30]

I had a blackberry and was able to get the bu games on nebex radio. I could also get the score and am 1000. I now have a Droid and I can't get it.

Hersey Hawkins?

Doubt if the Hawk would give up his slary with the Trailblazers for this. I was hoping he would be the new AD.
