Thom's passion and enthusiasm for college football, combined with his big-game voice, made him the perfect choice. I am positive that college football fans from coast to coast will enjoy listening to him next January. |
Troy sees everything the first time, ... He doesn't have to wait for the replay. That gives him a huge advantage. |
Troy's remarkable vision, understanding of the game and penchant for hard work were evident since day one, ... He has already blossomed into an outstanding announcer and I'm looking forward to the work that he and Joe Buck produce with the added room that a two-man booth provides. I know they will form the absolute best NFL broadcast team in the business. |

We have reasonable geographical distribution this time around. You're not looking at New York-New York or Giants-Angels. We're going to be fine. |
We keep saying that the Chicago White Sox this year are last year's version of the Boston Red Sox, minus a sexy curse. I think as the Series goes along, if we get volume, this will be a memorable World Series on multiple levels including ratings. |
We knew it wasn't a matter of if it was going to rain, but when, |
We ring the cash register when (the manager) goes out and brings in somebody from the bullpen, |
We started at such a low base (for advertising) as we tried to convince Madison Avenue that this was a national sport that we've been playing catch-up, |
We'll have to compare the numbers from this year to ratings for the years prior to the Red Sox and Cardinals. I think this will be a memorable World Series with incredible ratings. I think the numbers will hold up extremely well and will be in the ballpark with last year. |
When we began to consider the type of play-by-play announcer that we wanted to lead our BCS coverage, we knew we needed someone that would look at this as something more than a job, and for that, we didn't have to look very far. Thom's passion and enthusiasm for college football, combined with his big-game voice, made him the perfect choice. I am positive that college football fans from coast-to-coast will enjoy listening to him next January. |
With the hurricane bearing down on Florida, he is taking care of his family. He might still be available. With hurricanes, you never know. It might totally miss Florida, and if that happens, he will be joining us when he can. |
You can always look at the schedule and say, `Why?' ... It's not an easy answer. But you play in the afternoon, then you have issues with people who can't see that game because they're at work. You know what? It happens once a year. ... This is one day in a month. |
You can only laugh. I've heard desperate living is never pretty. Madison Avenue cares about two things: ratings and demos. |
You can't satisfy everyone all the time. We tried. And we didn't satisfy everyone. |
