Next Color Analyst for Arkansas MBB

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Just curious who your next choice would be.

[hogsanity]

Just once can we go outside to get someone new involved in some way with this program

[StoernerJonesFan]

Modica is working up the corp ladder at Wal-Mart.

Hopefully it's Eddins.

[Mr. Porkleone]

Need outside of school. Eddins voice is annoying

[hogsanity]

Mike got any other former players he'd like to bring in? Brandon Dean doing anything? Maybe Kareem Reid?

[Mick Hogger]

Of the choices offered, Bradley or Eddins.

[Kevin]

what about lee mayberry? I was wondering if he would take over Scotty's old position

[The_Iceman]

Eddins is great on tv during the crappy non-conference games. I just don't think he is meant for radio color commentating.

[SONofHAM]

Eddins brings a touch of levity that we could really use...especially when we have teams that aren't winning a lot.  He would be a good yin to Chuck's yang.  Plus he has the experience of playing for the Hogs and growing up in a SEC family.  He would be a great addition IMO.

I respectfully disagree. When hiring a play by play man going outside will work as we saw with Paul Eels. However, the Color commentator needs to be someone who knows the Razorback mens basketball program inside and out.

For once I agree with Gov and if you look at most schools the play by play guy is a professional broadcaster that may have a prior connection to the school but most of the time does not.

The color guys/analysts usually always have a connection to the school as either a former coach, or player.

Each to his own...I think he's awesome.

Ran into Modica at a Best Buy in Kennesaw GA a couple years ago.  We actually talked shop for a bit and he looked like he had just left the team.  Good young man!

[HF#1]

I'd go Eddins out of the choices given. Not sure they can afford Blake.

[Mick Hogger]

Mike got any other former players he'd like to bring in? Brandon Dean doing anything? Maybe Kareem Reid?

Does Mike get to pick the radio broadcasters or are you just whining to whine?

[kaki]

I listen to Blake when he is on the Memphis talk shows and think he is very professional sounding, extremely clever and knowledgeable sports wise.  I see a big future for him, if he decides to go in this direction.

yeah I hear him on the Fish and Stats program occasionally and he is a very funny guy but when its time to get to business he is very knowledgeable and professional. He would be a very good choice IMHO.

[pigture perfect]

Blake is a good choice. You can understand him and he can be humorous. I would also be ok with Rick coming back. Nobody knows or loves the Hogs more than him.

[Scott7703]

Bradley 1
Eddins 1A

[Dr. Starcs]

Bradley did some color back in the early to mid 2000's on the tube and I thought he was great

[Big Nasty 34]

Does Bradley have too much of a Boston accent? I haven't heard him enough to know what he'd be like doing color.

[Mick Hogger]

He's on the air every weekday on The Buzz, so it's not like he's not radio friendly.

[IronMountainHog]

I like Scott Inman who was with KATV.

[RealHog]

I could see Bradley being entertaining, his show with Justin Acri on the Buzz is def one of my favorite local radio shows. I'm not 100% on how he would be on taking you deeper in the game, but he can make you laugh for sure, which I could see being useful in some games haha (last years Auburn game anyone?).

Hope they use this opportunity to land a good one. Off the top of my head, Sean Farnham and John Pelphrey were pretty good for SEC network.

[k.c.hawg]

Is it too late to give it to Marcus Monk and bring his brother in the foal?? OK for all those that didn't die of heart attack or stroke it was  just a crude joke! I'd take Eddins or Pat Bradley.

[phadedhawg]

Eddins for sure. He's a riot.

[BadHog]

I respectfully disagree. When hiring a play by play man going outside will work as we saw with Paul Eels. However, the Color commentator needs to be someone who knows the Razorback mens basketball program inside and out.

That would be Blake.

[RealHog]

I have never heard Blake Eddins, I'll have to try and find him. Does he have a show?

[hoglady]

Blake or Bradley - either would do a great job.
Please God not Rick.

[Jonteviosk]

I know this may seem callous but with all that happens with this program for this particular topic who really cares?

[RazorPiggie]

Corey Beck is a painter now. And apparently looks like he's ate a few Corey Becks in the past.

That poor horse.....

[Nipsey Mussle]

Mike got any other former players he'd like to bring in? Brandon Dean doing anything? Maybe Kareem Reid?

Can we not even have a thread about freakin announcers without you bashing our head coach?


That aside, I love me some Blake Eddins.

[Knot2brite]

That poor horse.....

I laughed way too hard and way too long at this

[BigSexyHog]

Houston Nutt makes a return.... Mark it down... You heard it hear first

[BigSexyHog]

Whoever it is let's hope he has 10-12 years experience... Maybe Ray Biggers??

[East Clintwood]

Didn't we do that with Keef?

[bigdaddyhawg]

Forrest city joe

Does he even speak English?

[bigdaddyhawg]

Blake or Bradley - either would do a great job.
Please God not Rick.

Why not Rick? 

Because if what you want from your Color Man on the broadcast is to recite stats anyone can read in an internet game cast, with absolutely no insight whatsoever into what's going on in the game, then one couldn't ask for a better butt kisser, er, I mean, color man.

[FineAsSwine]

I'd bring Nolan in. He's available. Don't know if he'd want it but I would like to have that experience for at least one game. 

[razoredge178]

I respectfully disagree. When hiring a play by play man going outside will work as we saw with Paul Eels. However, the Color commentator needs to be someone who knows the Razorback mens basketball program inside and out.

Mike Anderson would be a good fit.

[RealHog]

Was Blake our CC in the past? This video on Youtube makes it sound like he was. Don't know why I don't remember him.

[spahoopsfan]

Need outside of school. Eddins voice is annoying

Can't be worst than Thurman, he was terrible.

[Ray Piggers]

Eddins. Hands down

[Karma]

Eddins.

Or a write in of Mike Anderson.

[Sivad]

Mike Anderson would be a good fit.

There's a groundswell starting.

[GuvHog]

I believe he did some TV commentary of Hog basketball on the old Razorback Sports Network but I don't know if he's done any radio commentary for Hog basketball.

[FineAsSwine]

Blake Eddins would be a fine choice as would many other former Hogs. I think Blake would do a fine job and of all the one's mentioned here, he is my favorite.

[pigture perfect]

I like Scott Inman who was with KATV.

yes, good call.
