Color commentator

[GoPigs69]

Good lord the color commentator is terrible.  He keeps saying "we" so I suppose he's connected to the Razorback program in some way but he's absolutely terrible.

Oh yeah.....a former Razorback baseball player during the DeBryne days.  He is such an obvious homer!  I can't believe someone hasn't told him to back off with his rooting for the Hogs.  If I am a K-State fan, I am really perturbed with this broadcast.  Of course, I'm good with it!  :>)

Former hog or not, he was not very good.

His name is Troy Eklund. Former All-American that played for the 1989 CWS team.

I know he does color on the SEC Network games. In my opinion all the color guys on SEC Network are homers. Doesn't bother me...

After listening to the Auburn love fest this past weekend by their announcers, I'm more than okay than listening to an announcer that loves the Hogs.

No, I think they are talking about the african american guy doing color last night on CST. I guess he is a former Hog and did say "we" and actually rooted for us.
One the positive side, he had a good voice and was very knowledgeable.

Troy wasn't the color guy last night.

Eklund isn't that good, but when compared to most other homer color guys around the SEC, he's definitely in the top half. Our guys actually prepare for the broadcasts and know things about our opponents. The guys at Auburn didn't know anything about us & were mispronouncing names all weekend. Not to mention, they said the Hogs hadn't played a team as good as Auburn this year. I think Arizona, Mississippi State, & LSU would disagree with that sentiment.

Got it... I don't get CST and only listened to the radio broadcast. Thanks for the clarification.

Kendrick Moore played with the Hogs in the mid 90s , also minor league ball.  He was a good player ...that was one of the worst broadcast jobs ever, the worst part was listening to Gene Stephenson the curmudgeon former Wichita State coach for what seemed like an hour, then immediately followed for what seemed like another hour by Jaime Bluma a former pitcher under Stephenson, who later pitched in 17 games for the Royals and now apparently sees himself as a celebrity.  The announcers pretty much just let the game go in order to let those two guys say nothing of interest for forever.......Kendrick Moore was an excellent homer for us tho.  Very unusual style he had.

There are times when Eklund seems to think that he could be coaching the team better than DVH.  That's the worst thing a color commentator could do in my eyes.  He no good
