I never understood the Tony Romo hate but now I get it.
As a play by play announcer, this is a pet peeve.
Tony, a legendary moment just happened. Either let Jim continue to talk or let the nat sound and the visuals take over! Stop talking!
This is by far my most seen & liked tweet, which is great and all. But a lot of you, including some that agree with me, missed the point.
Tony isn’t bad. I’ve heard and announced with way worse. He’s just inexperienced.
Announcing, for both PxP and color is a learning curve…
BIG NEWS!
I’m excited to announce that this spring, I will be the radio voice of Kansas Baseball. I could not ask for a better way to finish my time at KU. I’m excited for the opportunity and I’m ready to make some memories!
Rock chalk Jayhawk!
…And the only way that you learn is experience.
I’ve announced for 8 years and I still have a lot to learn, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
Tony is not an “abomination”, “horrible”, etc. He just needs to learn and get critiques.
That’s how he’ll get better.
My last day at my internship at Washburn could not have ended any better. Xavier De Leon drives home the winning run in the 11th for
@IchabodBSB
!
*Headphone warning*
And also, so many overlooked that I’m speaking as an announcer, not a casual fan. As a casual fan and a Chiefs fan, I couldn’t care less.
But my announcer brain will take over sometimes and say “hey, I prefer this or that, which would make the broadcast better.”
It happens.
Your
@KUBaseball
highlight of the week for week 3…
No question what the highlight would be.
How do you squash a 4-game losing streak? You get clutch hits like this go-ahead 3-run homer by
@C_Upshaw21
.
Not bad for your first home run as a Jayhawk.
I'm thinking of starting a new series. I'm giving my
@KUBaseball
highlight of the week with mine and
@BrockNiemeier
's radio call.
In game 1, with Kansas ahead 3-2 in the top of the 9th,
@CoopMc9
delivers a clutch insurance run with an RBI double in his first collegiate at-bat.
Ladies and gentlemen… We back.
I’m announcing that starting in November, I will take my talents to McPherson to be the Sports Director at
@AdAstraRadio
and the Voice of
@MHSBullpups
and
@MAC_Bulldogs
.
Let’s have a big day every day!
Full announcement below 👇
After the hard-fought battle in front of a record championship-final crowd of 18,755 in Columbus,
@BadgerVBall
beat
@Huskervball
to take the school’s first volleyball title. Those teams top the final 2021 AVCA Division I Women’s Poll.
Full poll:
Man, I came to McPherson at the right time!
Girls: 18-4
Boys: 22-0
Both heading to State.
My plan when moving was to get back into a play-by-play career. Never did I think I’d fall in love with these teams and this community.
SEE YOU IN SALINA!

For everyone saying that Kansas’ defense was absolutely terrible, that’s dead wrong. Yes they need some work, but I have seen a lot worse. Gonzaga was just an incredible team today.
This Kansas team is going to be something special this year. This offense is amazing!

Thank you to

Thanks for the memories!

This also may be my fault for wording this incorrectly on the original tweet. It was 1am and I was tired from celebrating my Chiefs winning the Super Bowl.
My point doesn’t change, but the wording could’ve changed.
That’s my bad.
“We played our f—- ass off. Offensive offsides… that’s f—- terrible, man!”
Never seen Patrick this angry.
(Low key happy he is though. Can’t blame him.)
So privileged to have spent the past couple of days at the Air Force Academy in Colorado.
Special thanks to Coach Kaz and
@AF_Baseball
for giving us a tour and giving us life lessons along the way.
Cadets, thank you for all that you’ll do and for dropping warheads on foreheads.

I kid of course but maybe we have an up-and-coming announcer.
Maybe we can bring them on the mic 🤷♂️.
Sad to say that my time at KJHK has come to an end.
This is the place that started it all! I’m happy to say that I’ve gained so much experience and have made so many friends!
Thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way over the past four years!

I know I don’t tweet about personal stuff often, but let’s just say that today is a day I’d love to forget.
Please make sure you make time for your friends and family and to tell them you love them often, because you never know when you’ll never see them again.
Since the season just ended, I want to take a moment to thank
@KJHKsports
. I’ve been with
@kjhk
for three quick years. KJHK helped me find a passion for play-by-play and helped improve my craft. I’m thankful for the memories and the friends I’ve made.
3 years down, 1 to go!
I’m thrilled to announce that over the summer, I will be one of the radio play-by-play voices of the Mid Plains League (

Here's another edition of my

play of the week!
There were many to choose from, but there’s no better feeling than having your first career home run be in the clutch.
@CurnaneReyce
did just that, hitting a 2-run go-ahead HR in Kansas’ 7-5 victory over Indiana State on Sunday.
I’m so proud of these Bullpups, man! Down 11 with 3:38 left, forced it to OT, and won! Did not quit!
Congrats to Coach Kinnamon! Congrats to the outstanding seniors! Congrats to the whole team! Congrats to Bullpup Nation!
You guys deserve it!

Four years ago today, I officially enrolled as a student at the University of Kansas.
Four years later, I stand as a college graduate from my dream school. I’m super grateful to have been and to continue to call myself a Jayhawk!
Rock Chalk!
Due to the schedule changes, I unfortunately will not walk down the hill with my J-School family, but I want them to know I’ll be there in spirit. Thank you
@KUJournalism
for the memories and for helping me get the experience I need!
Rock Chalk! Forever!
I’m gonna get personal on here real quick.
My best friend passed away this past July. He was one of the biggest
#Chiefs
fans I knew. One of my favorite memories with him is celebrating the win three years ago.
Here’s hoping they win this one, Cameron! I know you’re excited!
@NotTheExpertYT
Question. Like the old NFL Head Coach games they made like 10 years ago, should there be more features to do as a coach (like scouting, meeting with coaches/coordinators, going to practice, etc.), or mainly just focus on in-game stuff.

Well, last night was fun.
Even hanging out in the studio for the night, the energy was electric.
The Chiefs are headed back to the Super Bowl!
Here is me reading the highlights of the final drive:

During batting practice, I asked
@MauiAhuna
to give us a big play so I could make a big call for his birthday. He delivered.
On his 20th birthday, he goes 3-4, a triple shy of the cycle. Here’s his home run from the 3rd inning.
Here’s the
@KUBaseball
Highlight of the Week for week 2.
Despite the series loss, KU had their fair share of defensive highlights. None greater than
@MauiAhuna
’s sweet diving stop and
@sethrsweet
’s sweeter pick at first to finish the play during Saturday’s victory.
On behalf of Bullpup Nation and Rose Hill family and fans, I am embarrassed and disgusted by these announcers’ comments.
It’s one thing to say something not realizing the mic is on, but hearing what they say when they think they’re off of the mic makes it way worse.
I’m going to post the highlights tomorrow, but for now I’m going to go home and rest!
To both the boys and girls basketball teams at McPherson High School, and to Bullpup Nation, thank you for letting me be a part of the community!
I’ll never forget this day!
McPherson defeats Bishop Carroll 72-59.
Gabe Pyle (
@GabrielPyle24
) scores a season-high 23 pts, including 5-7 on 3PT shots.
Gabe, I’d like to personally apologize for calling you a madman on air after you hit your third straight 3 in the 3rd 😂.
Bit of a life update:
Today I found out that I was exposed to COVID earlier this week, which unfortunately means I won’t be able to be on the mic over the next week and a half to two weeks. When quarantine is all said and done, I will tackle my broadcasts hard. God bless!
Took time out of my day to go to a little field trip to my temporary home for this spring!
Can’t wait to cover
@KUBaseball
this year! This season will be unforgettable!
