Qualifiing exam For TV Announcers
Posted: Thu Mar 04, 2010 2:33 pm
After hearing the stories of KXLF's Shane Ewing performance I started thinking about what MSU could do to make sure that they had an even slightly knowlagable understanding of MSU basketball (or football). I know the Griz have rejected radio and TV announcers before. I know that we most likely get that, but in future can you get it written in the contract that they must pass a Montana State team oral test? Tough questions like:
- Correctly name and pronounce all players on the roster (written roster allowed as a cheat sheet)
- Correctly identify where a few random players are from (written roster allowed as a cheat sheet)
- Name a former Bobcat basketball player
- Name the leading scorer and rebounder on the team
- Give one anecdote that proves you have at least talked to Brad Huse
- Finally ask them who are Brad Huse and Tricia Binford (No cheat sheets allowed)
Those are my ideas of questions, anyone have any others.
