I am sorry that my thread was off subject and was moved because of the vague comments I made. There is no intent other than this thread would encourage those I Privately Messaged to reply to me.
This thread is in regard to the Gopher Radio Broadcasts and the previously posted threads talking about the displeasure of some posters in the broadcast team and their on-air coverage of the Gophers.
I am an award winning football broadcaster and currently the voice of the Sioux Falls Storm 4-Time national champions of Indoor Football and a former Gopher (Spring 1974 walk-on and one of two walk-ons invited to fall camp).
There are those posting on this site that feel a change should be made in the Gopher Radio broadcast play-by-play and I feel that I have the ability, background and passion for the job. I have sent PMs to those who have shown the most interest in this subject and am now hoping to get a reading from the general posters of just how much of an issue this is and if there is enough support to bring this to light with-in the entire Gopher community or if this displeasure is only a minority of the listeners.
I have made contact with Learfield Sports and they are aware of my interest in this position whether or not a change is ever made. Also, I am in no way criticizing the current broadcast crew or their broadcasts but rather responding to posts and comments made by members of this forum. Being a member of the Gophers so many years ago has not diminished my love for the U of M or its football program and it would be my honor and career highlight to broadcast their games.

If this form of post is not appropriate for the forum I will understand its removal.
Thanks for reading and letting me know what you think.
