    Holy shit. Wasn't he Mitch's butt boy? He was horrible
    He's actually a decent play by play guy currently doing UW baseball and women's hoops

    I feel like I heard him do a high school football game awhile back. He seemed mediocre. With Mitch he was awful.

    Good choice. He's young so he could do it for a long time. And while I think he's a natural broadcaster I don't think baseball is hus best fit

    He'll eventually have the Mariners #1 job ... he's really good

    If it isn't him or Sandy then they likely have no choice but to go outside of the area ... at that point no clue who they go after

    Sandy is a d bag. He has burned bridges locally. If kjr fires you that speaks volumes

    CBS .....canned

    I did a post game show with him after the Stanford game when Curtis broke his neck and he threw a fit like a little baby because he was only supposed to do the show solo. Then he took the recording trashed it. Classy guy.

    He was also at times a prick rondeau. Rondeau classy hard working individual. The guy is a total pro.

    Guy following Rondeau has mount rushmore size shoes to fill, and will never be able to do it because in the end their simply not Bob.

    Goldsmith and Sandmeyer are both jag's as announcers. Nothing wrong with either one of them, but they have came from the cookie cutter school of sports broadcasting where the tv tells the story and you are there to just tell us the who what where when why.

    Case in point. Rondeau did this for 37 years. Goldsmith could do this for the next 137 years and he would never come close to the level of Bob, Dave Niehaus, Kevin Calabro, Bob Blackburn, etc.

    Bob Rondeau Keith Jackson will forever be the voice of the Huskies. He is that good.

    Crisped that up for a true legend.

    In 1958, Jackson became the first American sports announcer to broadcast an event from the Soviet Union, a crew race between the Washington Huskies and a Soviet team. Despite heavy suspicion and numerous hurdles by the Soviet authorities, Jackson and his cohorts were able to cover the race: the first ever American sports victory on Russian soil.[

    They race crew on soil in Mother Russia?

    Chinteresting.

    When I was in the school Rondeau used to MC the senior banquet that the athletic department would host primarily for the non-revenue sports. Getting to hear Rondeau's legendary voice say your name and where you're from just once is good stuff.
