Duck radio

Jerry Allen is still the worst play-by-play guy in CFB. Jerry, I don't care if your daughter is texting you nighty night from Wyoming. I want down, distance, a visual of what's actually happening on the field and the score.

Just F'n painful to listen to that crew. He's way worse than the last time I tuned in.

SDCJR

Totally agree. Listening to the game on the radio is very frustrating. Gives the score maybe every 10 minutes. You would think Uncle Phil could hire a professional?

Typical Jerry call, 'here's a long pass downfield and it's............................ incomplete. He had a man down there.' Riveting stuff.

Jerry Allen has to be one of the worst play-by-play announcers in college football. He has been around UO since 1987.

If you want to know the score to a game, he’ll get around to it eventually. If you want to hear an announcer bitch about the officiating endlessly, Jerry’s your guy.

There was a poster called caughtdropped in honor of the duck radio guy. I assume this guy

SDCJR

He used to be a DJ in Medford. He did high school sports. Should have stayed there.

When I tuned into the Zona game I had to check the score online because he assumes everyone listening to him has been doing so since the opening kickoff.

More like #caughtdroppedintercepted! That's a Jerry trifecta.

Barry Thompkins was the Husky play-by-play guy for a couple years. I think it was around '86-87. Very frustrating to follow what was happening in the game. Plus, every time we played Cal he openly rooted for Cal with his tone of voice.

Jerry still calls games?

I thought he was in Grants Pass. Medford radio market was too big for Jerry.

I always thought Bob Rondeau was very good. Maybe comparing him to Jerry Allen calling a game played a part.

Unfortunately, yes. He gave up BB I believe. I hear he bleeds Green/Yellow so don't say anything bad about him. He's an Oregon guy! eDuck morons. I would start threads about how horrible Jerry was just for kicks and giggles. I don't expect any defenders over here.

Jerry has to be in his late 70s. Should have been shown the door years ago.

I like a high level of enthusiasm in my play by play guy. Calling the game accurately comes second. That's what I like. Average eDuck poaster.

I used to defend Jerry back in the day but that was mainly on account of the fact that I didn't listen to the games on the radio. After being forced to listen to Jerry's call of the game a few times, I apologized for the errors of my ways. He is awful. I've heard better play by play guys calling single A baseball games.

Graduated from GPHS. Think he was on KMED in Medford. Could be wrong, though. But don’t remember him on any Grants Pass radio. There were only 2 stations in GP then.

MikeSeaver

He asks, out loud on the radio, “What just happened there?” 15 times a game.

And how many times have you heard this one:

“Ok, we’re going to break for commercial and we’ll figure it all out when we get back.”

They’ll go to a commercial and you have to wait 3 minutes to find out if the Ducks converted a 3rd and 9.

I'm sure you're probably right, I thought I recalled hearing him on KAJO a long, long time ago and just assumed he was a Grants Pass kind of guy. Jerry is a pretty slick customer, more likely he is a Medford sophisticate

SFGbob

Don't know if they still do it, but after the games Jerry and Jorge would host a call in show where Oregon "fans" could call in and give their two cents on what they thought of the game. Now that was the most cringe worthy radio I'd ever heard in my life.
