I'll miss Jake, best of luck at Ole Miss.
If you need a reminder of how bad local play by play truly can be, I caught some of a Long Beach State volleyball game a few days ago before I went to bed. The kid announcing was clearly a Long Beach State person, and every time they were referenced in the broadcast, he said it "....theeeeEEEE Beach!" After about the 5th or 6th time hearing this, which took like 5 minutes, I turned it off.
Agreed. Anyone who can't appreciate Jake, Russ, Rob, and the rest of the media staff at Ohio aren't watching/listening to many other alternatives. There are several 'bigger' schools that have lesser radio/TV on air talent. There are a lot of peer schools that don't have what we have at Ohio.
Jake will be missed. All the best to him!
