Anybody know?
We could actually take a poll. How often do posters here listen. You know that they typical poster here is more likely to listen than the typical Ohio fan.
For myself:
-- Men's basketball radio broadcast
20 years ago would have been most games but now I usually watch on TV or stream. If I am driving or anything that allows me to listen but not watch then it is pretty much guarantied I'll be tuned in.
A few bucks a month for ESPN+ and it's streaming pretty much every away game. New world we live in.
While I, too, have an ESPN+ subscription, I do appreciate the radio broadcasts, especially at home games. This is because when I go to basketball and football games, I have a small transistor radio with me and an earbud for one ear and I let Russell and Company do my spotting for me. It works really well, except when occasionally for some reason there is too much latency in the system and the play-by-play is 30 seconds behind the live action. On those days I just turn off the radio because it's too confusing. That doesn't happen too often, but when it does, it's very annoying.
I also listen to the post-game broadcast as I walk or drive home. On nice days I often walk the mile or so from the sports complex to my home.
Once in awhile I get amused by an error. Most frequently this is in basketball. For instance, Russell sometimes opines that a player has traveled, and it wasn't called, and often he's right. But on more than one occasions, when he has a very poor angle on the play from his spot up on the concourse ring and I have a better view because the play is right in front of me, I've note that his call is wrong.
