"Live national broadcast on ESPN with Dave Flemming (play-by-play), Brock Huard (analyst)[/color] and Laura Rutledge (sideline)."
Aside from being among the top sports announcers in general, Dave Fleming probably still follows our team and won't make the kind of inane, uninformed comments that national announcers often do. For those that don't remember, he's a Stanford alum and our former radio play-by-play guy until ~2012. Looking forward to the call!
Brock Huard, ugh. Takes himself way too seriously. Moreover, provides generally hackneyed observations in this deeply intense voice that you know is his way of trying to sound worldly wise.
The polar opposite of the other former Univ. of Washington player turned commentator, the very down-to-earth Ed Cunningham. Cunningham retired from broadcasting earlier this year because he no longer could stomach being part of a sport that promoted young men bashing their heads in. I thought Cunningham was the best in the college game, always informative and incisive, without being overbearing. I miss his commentary, but respect the hell out of him for taking the stand that he did. Â
