BTN Announces On-Air Talent Roster for 2013 Football Season

Network adds some names familiar to B1G fans

CHICAGO – BTN today revealed its game broadcast teams and studio talent for the 2013 football season. The network’s football schedule will feature 47 games, extensive pre-game, halftime and post-game coverage on Saturdays and football-themed studio shows every weeknight.

For the seventh straight year, Dave Revsine, Gerry DiNardo and Howard Griffith will anchor the network’s game-day studio coverage on Big Ten Football Saturday, and will contribute to additional studio shows during the week.

This year’s primary broadcast teams for BTN’s football telecasts include Matt Devlin (play-by-play) and Glen Mason (analyst); Kevin Kugler (play-by-play) and Chuck Long (analyst); and Eric Collins (play-by-play) and Derek Rackley (analyst). Mason, Long and Rackley will also make frequent studio appearances.

Among the new analysts and announcers joining the roster this season are Eric Crouch (analyst), Chris Denari (play-by-play), Jim Miller (studio analyst), Paul Burmeister (play-by-play), and Marcus Ray (studio analyst). They will join returning analysts Brandon Williams, Antwaan Randle El, Jon Jansen, Danan Hughes and J Leman.

Crouch is the 2001 Heisman Trophy winner from Nebraska. Denari currently does play-by-play for the Indiana Pacers and Indiana Fever. Miller, Michigan State alum and former NFL quarterback, is a regular contributor for NFL Network on Sirius/XM Radio. Burmeister, former Iowa quarterback, is currently a studio host and reporter for the NFL Network. Ray is a former Michigan defensive back and member of the 1997 National Championship team.

Go Gophers!!
 

If I am reading that correctly, the days of hearing Chris Martin mention the importance of "high pointing the football" are over?

I agree with that, but generally I like Martin. Maybe he's moving up?
 

I saw something last winter that he turned out to be an NFL agent (BTN didn't even know) and although it wasn't a broken rule, it was a conflict of interests and it isn't surprising to see him gone. I liked him too.

I hope to God that we never have to listen to Joey Galloway for another Gopher game. The woman he was paired with sucked too.

Was it Galloway who got all fussy with his partner on the air last year? I remember him resenting some minor slight to the point of complaining about it on the air.
 



I really wish they would stop hiring former players solely on the basis that they "know the game." If a guy actually studied broadcasting, great, but the glut of former players who say cliched non-sequiturs drive me nuts.
 

I wish Gus Johnson did Big 10 football....love that guy!
