People who think Onion is bad (I personally think he's pretty good at calling a game), need to listen to ISU's "home" announcers of Kurt Pegler and Bob Morris.
On the topic of when Mike Reis retires, would love for us to give SIU alum Russ Eisenstein the gig. He's been the pbp guy at Ohio University for the last 13 years and is great to listen to and will call MAC TV games sometimes too on espn 3.
I think Onion is decent though he was especially mediocre this last game - he'll make a career of it - sure hope he never replaces Mike though! I've heard the Redturd announcers - they're awful! Pegler has a worse announcer voice than Steve Stone! Needs a vocal cord hack!
Listened to Eisenstein on Youtube. Sounds very good but that's a small sample. Probably does better financially in the MAC than he would do in Cdale.
Connor Onion has been doing high school games for ESPN..sounding quite professional and very neutral. Perfect ESPN type - just glad we have Luke Martin.
If you listened to the SEMO game, their announcer Eric Sean, a Saluki who I think is really good, got a little too excited when SIU scored. LOL! Love it.
Congrats to Connor Onion. Feels like he keeps rising up every year
