Jansen and Karsch...
There's your new University of Michigan football network broadcast team, so Twitter tells me.
They put the big guy first in the photo, but to read up on it, Doug Karsch will rise from sideline reporting to do play by play and Jon Jansen goes from out of game expert, to color commentator.
The only place for a fresh face to land is in Karsch's old job.

This should be a big improvement in the booth.

Re: Jansen and Karsch...
I will happily give them a try. I stopped listening on the radio 15 or 20 years ago because of Frank Beckman. I tried liking Jimmy Brandstatter as a PBP guy but he just made me cringe. I liked him a lot as a color guy for both the Lions and Wolverines . But I think he hit the Peter Principal wall doing PBP.
I no longer directly engage trolls

Re: Jansen and Karsch...
Jansen is a good hire. Karsch is going to be rough. Great talk show host but has he ever even done play by play?
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Karsch has the voice of someone who smokes two packs of cigarettes a day.
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

Re: Jansen and Karsch...
Has Doug Karsch ever done play by play anywhere?
If not, could prove to be a terrible hire. Not a job for someone who needs training wheels.
The guy who handles men's basketball sucks. Milquetoast as hell. Big step down from Matt Shepard.

Re: Jansen and Karsch...
His sideline reporting experience and knowledge of Michigan football were probably the biggest reasons he was hired. He knows what it's like to have to describe things quickly during a game.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Wed Mar 09, 2022 8:22 amHas Doug Karsch ever done play by play anywhere?

I agree about his voice being raspy. It will take some time getting used to that.

Re: Jansen and Karsch...
He was hired because he was next in line, so to speak, just as Brandstatter was next in line when Frank retired.
Without question, he's very knowledgeable with regard to Michigan football.
Hopefully he'll surprise me in a favorable way in terms of his play by play ability.

Re: Jansen and Karsch...
Both Jansen and Karsch will be coming from 97.1, where sports is something that is discussed only between conversations about television shows, food preferences, and other trivial matters. Do you think this will carry over to their UM broadcasts?

I don't have to think. The answer is unequivocally no.

Re: Jansen and Karsch...
What worries me is: if another scandal should break, or if Michigan stinks it up or whatever, does this mean at least two of the dayparts have to maintain radio silence?

Re: Jansen and Karsch...
Excellent point. How they navigate the clear conflict of interest being employed both by Audacy and Learfield/IMG College will be interesting when there are inevitably negative things that need to be said about Michigan on 97.1.Mega Hertz wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 7:10 pmWhat worries me is: if another scandal should break, or if Michigan stinks it up or whatever, does this mean at least two of the dayparts have to maintain radio silence?

Re: Jansen and Karsch...
Interesting that this topic hasn't continued into the college football season, with these new guys on the air. I listened to one game for a few minutes and concluded that Doug Karsch has a terrible play-by-play voice.
