As much as I want to begrudge him for leaving for Oklahoma, he was really good at describing the action. Plus he would have played offense for ken hatfield.

[010HogFan]

Quinn will do great!

[HogMantheIntruder]

Anyone think this will hurt our chances with Koilan if some other big time programs start coming after him?

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Great news

I doubt it.  Dad can be more directly involved with him if he isn't in the booth.

[younghog]

I commend him for wanting to watch his kids play.. ~big ups

GO HOGS

[phadedhawg]

I can't blame him for wanting to be closer to his son.  I respect him for it.  He slowly grew into his role and I'm going to miss hearing him. 

Quinn Grovey was my boyhood hero so I'm glad he's moving up. 

[Pigsknuckles]

Wonder who they will tap to cover the sidelines? Quinn was very good at digging up the story from that perspective.

Aye, and it is an important job.  It needs to be someone the Razorback sideline trusts to know what should and shouldn't be reported.

According to Quinn, it'll be somebody who can acclimate to the weather, haha. He said he was ready for the climate controlled booth.

So true...a reporter walks a tightrope on the sidelines.

Robinson is Razorback country, this ain't PA. Coach Eskola is a Hog fan I wouldn't worry about that.

Yep, It's a class move by Keith and I don't blame him either. Maybe when he's in Fayetteville to watch his son Koilan play, he'll occasionally appear as a special guest on the radio Pre-game show.

Quinn is a good choice to take over because he knows Hog football.

[3kgthog]

It would seem that DJ Williams would be a natural fit for the sideline spot. I wouldn't mind Clint, either. He did well enough on ESPN with our season preview.

PA sends about 3X the number of players to Arkansas as Robinson, so I'd slow down on the day drinking there bub.

[PonderinHog]

DJ would be a great addition to the crew, in any role.

[tasteslikechicken]

Quinn will do great.

[DeltaBoy]

Good Move by Keith. And Quinn will do just fine.

[thebignasty]

Great news

lol +1

[26.2Hog]

Good move by Keith.

Surprised he didn't do it Sooner.

I vote for Clint on the sideline.

[AFWarrior83]

I think DJ would do a great job as well!

[Hogberry Snortcake]

*Board approved opinion here.

[hoglady]

Hate to see Keith leave, but if he didn't make the move he'd never get to see his other son play a down of college football. Don't blame him at all.

[hoglady]

Don't see Clint being a sideline reporter - he's still doing the SEC Network stuff.

[26.2Hog]

Don't see Clint being a sideline reporter - he's still doing the SEC Network stuff.

Yeah, you're right.  Probably will be DJ.

[Dr. Starcs]

Please not matt jones.

And Chuck needs to go next.

[hoglady]

Please not matt jones.

And Chuck needs to go next.

I agree about Matt Jones.
Would love DJ, though.

[farmhawg]

Please not matt jones.

And Chuck needs to go next.

Agree.

[hobhog]

Please not matt jones.

And Chuck needs to go next.

Chuck is good. He will be around for long time. Move on.

[26.2Hog]

Please not matt jones.

Still waiting on chuck to tell us how hootie leaving set the program back 10-20 years, like he said it would.

[farmhawg]

Chuck is good. He will be around for long time. Move on.

He should have moved on with hootie.....

[Dr. Starcs]

Yeah, all the "terrorists" should just shut up and accept him.

[Lanny]

Robinson is Razorback country, this ain't PA. Coach Eskola is a Hog fan I wouldn't worry about that.

Yea that was a tough break when Hunter Henry left PA to attend Arkansas.

[Karma]

Yea that was a tough break when Hunter Henry left PA to attend Arkansas.

And Tyler colquitt, and Neal Barlow. And Cameron Colbert. And Jonathan Luigs.

[The Hawg Marshal]

I'm fine with this.

[Ugly Uncle]

Michael Smith would do great on the sidelines.  Would love to see him get a shot.  He has experience in radio and knows what he is talking about.

[East Clintwood]

Doesn't really matter who's doing the commentary or sideline reporting.

As long as Ckuckles is doing the broadcast, I can't listen to it.  Get rid of him, please.

[DeltaBoy]

Love Quinn!

[GuvHog]

Chuck is good. He will be around for long time. Move on.

THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I can't believe people are still bitching and complaining over something that happened almost 10 years ago. Holding a grudge is bad but holding one for almost 10 years is absolutely ridiculous. These people need to get over it.

I'm. Agreeing. With. GuvHog.

Can you imagine trying to make a hire to satisfy Hog fans.  Where any three are gathered, there are three different strongly held positions.

Maybe, but it is a fact that not all former Razorbacks make great radio or TV personalities. I think DJ is a very unique and professional talent however. He has the "it" factor.

[ricepig]

Uh, no. His radio show was atrocious. Just because you have experience, doesn't mean you are good at what you do. 

Next thing you are going to say is that Matt Jones should be doing play by play.

I never listened to his radio show, but he wasn't very good on the KTHV before/after game specials.

[hei5manhog]

I may be in the minority, but for some reason I didn't think Michael Smith was bland. He has an opinion and didn't struggle to communicate it. DJ has a bigger personality for sure; not sure if that's what that job requires. For all the excitement Matt Jones brought to the field he couldn't bring it to the radio. Just wasn't for him.

Not true, I only surround myself with people that think exactly the same as I do, that way we avoid conflict.

I don't hold a grudge.  Everyone's entitled to an opinion.  I didn't like him before he uttered his famous line.

His voice is grating and he's not worth a damn with his play by play.  After about 3 or 4 minutes of listening to him, I want to start throwing things.

[NaturalStateReb]

Gary "Peanut" Adams.

As much as I want to begrudge him for leaving for Oklahoma, he was really good at describing the action. Plus he would have played offense for ken hatfield.

Hey he chose Oklahoma and the rest is history!! Let"s get an Okie who chose Arkansas!! Congrats to Q.G. When the "little man" sqats under center dial Quinn for the win!!

[SamBuckhart]

We appreciate the work Keith has done. Wish him the best after this season. His Sunset Tigers coach Ed Johnson, is one of my oldest buds.
