Will Craig and Rich be doing the SMU broadcast this year as well?

I have heard nothing to the contrary.... are they on yearly contracts or some such? The only real related note was the press release announcing his hiring years ago:

And Rich is still with the ticket... I think the athletic department knows we love Rich and Craig.

"He caught it!"
"I almost puked all over Ted Gangi."

Huh? It's a clip from a radio broadcast...unless Swanny had a home video camera going I would think not.

The game should be archived on the CSTV-All Access site if you are a paying member.


Edit: I went to all access. I can not get the Highlights to play but I can get a replay of the game.

I know ya'll love those two guys but Swann is just more than I can stand. It's not because he's an SMU homer - that's what he should be...he's just so over the top I have to change the channel.

Speaking of homers how many of the ESPN games are going to go to Craig James?

Yeah, but any clip you might get anyway won't be in sync with the audio clip above without someone doing some editing. Therefore, I stand by my original post...

I feel the same way about Brian Estridge on the TCU broadcasts. He bugs the hell out of me, but I love Swann.

I can see that (Estridge). Estridge is probably as big a homer as Swann is, but he's not nearly as demonstrative (i.e. yelling at his broadcast partner, yelling at refs and hitting the broadcast table - although that is a funny clip when the play it on the Ticket). I think I'd have a hard time listening to him even if I were an SMU grad but maybe not. We're all homers after all.

You see, those are the same reasons why I enjoy the heck out of listening to him. I love his energy.

Apparently you have no children ReedFrawg. It is amazing how mine can be model citizens but other children doing the same thing can be obnoxious brats. Swann is one of our family.
