Was this a transfer portal thing?

[Bison03]

Congrats! Huge step up to be the voice of that program. Jeff had a tough job when he came in. Having to replace a legend like Scotty Miller was going to be a huge mountain to climb. He definitely raised the bar as far as broadcasting Bison games. Definitely now huge shoes to fill. Best of luck. Once a Bison always a Bison.

[SDbison]

Does this mean Keith Brake will take over for Jeff?

I hope not! Hire the kid from WDAY who stepped in for Dom when he had Covid. I thought he did great.

Best of luck Culhane but like any transfer portaler you're dead to me now bro.

Yep, hate to see him go! Only good thing would be if he took Lakes with him!!!

[Bison03]

I think it will again be a national search. This job is even more lucrative then it was 6 years ago.

[HerdBot]

Way to go Jeff!
He will be tough to replace but I'm not worried since I said the same thing about Scotty Miller

[primespareribs]

Someone please tell Lee Timmerman that the job has already been filled.

[tolnabison]

Would Brian Shawn be a candidate? I know he has been a TV guy. But he knows both programs very well.

[kab1one]

Jeff will also talk about NDSU in the deep south, much like David Moulton does 20 plus years after leaving Fargo. Derek Hanson has kept that pipeline open.

[ByeSonBusiness]

[OrygunBison]

BS seems like a very nice guy and he certainly knows the program but he just doesn't have the demeanor to get me excited and keep me engaged if he were the play-x-play guy.

[MinotBison]

So, who's next?

[Kevin]

You bros think I could do this and maintain my play calling duties?

I can tell you the play before the play might be interesting radio

[El_Chapo]

So, who's next?

https://tommiesports.com/staff-directory/travis-langer/273

he only at UST 1 year, but he was with Rams & Vikings.

being less than 50 day til training camp, gonna have to move fast, these PXP jobs just don't open up alot....most are legacies.

otherwise Nancy has herd the buzz about ME & Kevin's proposal.

[MankatoBison]

I hope not! Hire the kid from WDAY who stepped in for Dom when he had Covid. I thought he did great.
I would legitimately not listen if Keith Brake or Zack Staton were PxP and the host of the insiders.
If youve ever heard Staton on Hot Mic, its an absolute shit storm of a radio show. About 1/2 the show is dead air, and me checking my phone to see if the podcast paused. Keith wouldnt be able to call a play without telling you who to vote for.

That being said, Staton is about 100x better at play by play than he is at being a host on radio.

Dont know what WDAY pays and what NDSU pays for this, but I think Dom does pretty great with PxP AND Radio host. Doubt he would ever switch- seems like he likes his position now at WDAY as he can pretty much call his own shots, and likes asking real questions about the team instead of spouting the company propaganda.

[MankatoBison]

I could get on board with this. He is not a radio guy, but he has a great voice and I think could do a great job. One of the few local I'd consider.

[Hammerhead]

What about having the same announcers for TV and radio like when Paul Allen does TV for the Vikings in preseason and still does radio stuff like describing the uniforms the teams are wearing?

[Kevin]

I can confirm talks are underway for me and lakes to take the helm

not sure if it'll come to fruition though lakes has some weird clauses in his end of the contract. bizaare shit like "17 grapes (red) in the booth", "no one can look me directly in the eyes" and "no fat chicks".

So, who's next?

Could you imagine if UND wrote the job listing for this like they did for their media bid package?

[NodakGreg]

Would Brian Shawn be a candidate? I know he has been a TV guy. But he knows both programs very well.

I agree. Brian Shawn would be a great hire. He knows the programs, the history, etc....you don't have to do a national search when you have a couple good ones right here in the backyard! Scottie Miller was MASSIVE! Jeff did a nice job, big energy, but he had his own way different from Scottie. I like Brian. Good guy, comeback guy from cancer, shows lots of guts, good for the region too.

Be Herd, Lets get tanned in Tucson everyone! Bring the stampede, going to be fun...

Now go out get another young hungry guy climbing the ladder. I have no problem with that. Part of what made Jeff special was his connection to the greater sports world outside of ND, and Fargo is the portal through which ND climbs …

[oldmantutters]

I wonder if the PxP job will be coupled with the program direct gig at Bison 1660? Wasn't that Culhane's too? I feel like that station could use a bit of a shake up. I'll say it again, I just hope this doesn't mean that Keith Brake is elevated.

Maybe Justin Gaard could be a candidate.

I'm curious as to what sort of salary accompanies this move...I have zero clue as to what those high-end P5 schools would shell out for this sort of position, low six figures (~$150k)?

Either way....exciting move for Culhane!

4 more national championships, coach hired to the big 12, another qb drafted at the too of the draft, all resulting in an even higher profile for the program.

Shawn would not thrill me for radio PxP. Would much rather pursue a young #2 guy at a major program. JG with lots of Gopher experience might be good, but excelling at pxp is something that needs to be a passion. Culhane had it.

[B.Schlossman Fan Club]

Elevate Izzo back to radio as a sacrifice to save the TV broadcasts. Can’t stand Izzo on TV. I wouldn’t mind Brian on TV over Izzo.

Totally disagree about the TV broadcast. WDAY>ND NBC. No more gimmick broadcast.

[El_Chapo]

Kev. we need to fix this Pilot video before we send it in.

[Tony Almeida]

Gonna miss Culhane. His was well connected and was perfect for radio. Nobody could match his energy and he was a good interviewer as well. Total package. I say do another national search.

[CAS4127]

Agreed. My position is that he both honored Scottie Miller and set the bar higher as far as NDSU on National scale and his work product. Jeff Cullhane was excellant. Big shoes to fill. Let’s get this done right.

Also re: Jeff, I thought/felt he really came into his own the last couple of years on radio shows and his gameday PxP. He was easily FBS LEVEL, hence his new gig! Good luck to him!

[Minimum8Pete]

Culhane treated his position as though he was at Alabama and is getting a fat promotion because of it. Whoever is next needs to match that. the video/hype guy is the same. If we dont treat ourselves a big time program, how do we expect anyone else to

[THEsocalledfan]

The only negative I can think of with Culhane was something he had little control over.....JJ leaving which greatly weakened the radio show. When that is the only bad thing you can think of, you know he is a solid guy and deserved this!

Amen. I hated it. I couldn't even figure out what he was saying the first dozen times he used it. Other than that...good stuff.

[Son of a Bison]

My favorite Culhane memory was when Sigurd brought a few band members to his house early in the morning (I think on his birthday) and woke him up by blasting their instruments into his bedroom.

"trot in there" what the hell did that mean ??? I attend all of the games so I don't listen to any radio broadcasts. Trot where? in the endzone???

[B.Schlossman Fan Club]

And I’ll take Izzy-Emanuel over Shawn-Timmerman.
My point wasn’t that WDAY has a worse production than NBC. NBC was embarrassingly bad. WDAY is a huge step up. With Izzo calling games though I rather listen to it on the radio because Izzo is that bad.

[Herd]

Lived south of KC for several years during bison Pitt State rivalry. The radio guy (Eddie Lomshek) there’s td tagline was, “And Give Him 6”, in a high pitch, whiny, smug voice. It was his thing, and I remember it 25 years later, as I will with Culhane’s. Didn’t like either upon first hearing, but they grow on you, and are solid tags. I’m guessing Culhane’s is so ingrained, he can’t not utter it at FSU.

It's not always greener on the other side of the hill. Even in the old days, we took a guy named Ed Schultz who was from around here. So was Scotty Miller. And Culhane had roots in the midwest, so it's not like we got him from Jamaica.

[MankatoBison]

Gotta Think Brian Shawn is on the short list. No idea how he is as a radio host but I didnt have any complaints with him on TV doing pbp.

But to dampen expectations, this is probably Keith Brakes position to lose. Already does the radio bit, already does pbp, and from my experience, he puts in a ton of effort prepping for his pbp games.

I just dont want him because of how much he hates the average person from ND. I don't expect everyone on tv or radio to go to my church or vote the same as me, but a radio guy should be able to talk about FCS college football without telling you that you're a terrible person because you disagree with him politically- and Keith brake is physically unable to do that. he is just far too important, brilliant, stunning, brave and moral to deprive us of his political takes during his analysis of Indiana state Sycamore offensive line depth.

I have no idea how Scotty miller voted. I have no idea about Kolpack or Culhane, or riekhoff. And thats the way it should be for sports personalities. But I know exactly how Keith and Dom vote lol. Pretty astonishing the balls it takes for someone who watches college FB for a living telling us country yokels how to live our lives because they have a degree in *checks notes... broadcast journalism.

Anyways, point is, I think it will be Keith Brake.

Whoever it is needs to get familiarized with things, which scares me that it might be Brake!! Not a fan of Andy either he really says some dumb shit sometimes! I got the hint that even Jeff was annoyed with him at times during the show!

We cannot have an elite radio broadcast for our elite program if we pick Keith Brake to replace Jeff. I agree with Chapo we need a nation wide search to find the next elite voice talent.

Honestly I’ll need a Break if I have to listen to Brake…. But i listen to radio to avoid Izzo’s terrible tv play by play…… I hope I don’t have this dilemma! I say hire riekhoff to get brake to quit, I can’t listen to their show because brake talks down to Andy and it gets very annoying, if I wanted to listen to smug I’d listen to Bill Oreilly’s podcast….

I vote no on Keith Brake.. How does one secure his vote so it's not "mismanaged" in the voting machines?

He's lying to you ya know.

Maybe the Federalist Society can give us a list of names we have to pick from?

Yes officer, I'd like to report a murder

[HerdBot]

Brake is solid at basketball but he doesnt have a lot of experience in football broadcasting. I dont think he has fully developed his style yet. Sometimes when i listen to basketball I feel like he's holding back his emotions which comes across a bit anti climatic. I think he needs to continue to hone his skills. I think he would be a great program director

Reichhoff is a cool dude but hes just too inexperienced

In all fairness, I wasnt a fan of Jeff's style at first but he improved rapidly and now he's up there with Scotty

I'm a pastor at a local church, the almighty Rev B0b Johnson had me ordained just last week. Basically 1660 will pay the church (TOHBTC) and I, being the charitable person I am, will donate my time thereby making it a tax write-off for all involved.

Kev, you gotta stop hanging out with Scottie. #DoMathNotMeth

Somewhere ECEH8H's head just exploded like in The Boys.

[Bison03]

Matt Larson was on the Insiders and said a search is going on and that they hope to name someone soon as obviously time is closing in with the first game just over a month away. I vote is for Brian Shawn. He obviously knows the program and has called Bison games for years. Im sure he could be a great program director for 1660 and is always good when he is on the insiders so would be a great host of that ahow.

[The_Sicatoka]

How dare you talk bad about the media legend up in elforko! He is the best you have up there….

Alex Heinert on line one for you.

[The_Sicatoka]

So, do we want a national search or an ideological purity test?

They'll do the first, then make the decision using the second as the criteria.

I text very simple questions every time ML is on the show and shocker of all shockers, 1660 runs cover for him. We get answers about his favorite ice cream flavor instead of asking basic, fundamental questions like:

"gene taylor once indicated that FCS would no longer be tenable if the other aspirational programs like NDSU start leaving. Now that vast majority of the aspirational programs have left, do you believe that Gene was wrong, And if not, what are you doing internally to move up beyond building new buildings, which NDSU was going to build regardless?"

"Would you agree that there is an operational, cultural, financial and competitive distinction between the P5 and G5? Yes, I agree as well. You've stated in the past that 'NDSU will always be in the 2nd tier of CFB'... Given that we all agree that the G5 and P5 are distinct in every way that matters, explain how you believe that the FCS is the 2nd tier of college football currently?"

SOMEHOW.... my questions never get asked.
Its actually astonishing to me that not one single media member has EVER had a simple follow up question to any of ML's propaganda. I'm asking for like... 1% transparency, even if I dont like the answer. But just be honest, and stop hiding behind these meaningless platitudes like "we're going to put ourselves in the best position going forward"... ok? define what you mean by 'best position'? Best position for what exactly? If nothing is wrong with the state of the FCS, which you have indicated many times, why do you feel the need to 'prepare for 'what's coming' at all?

This is like page 1 of intro to journalism stuff here, and yall act like we have no right to demand answers to basic questions from our extremely highly paid public employees lol

You're never going to be satisfied, we get it you hate ML. It's not hard to understand "best position going froward" Be the best in FCS and be prepared for a jump to FBS it the conference fits.

Yes, of course you aren’t going to get difficult question on 1660. But, perhaps also no one is asking these questions at the moment because 1) they’ve already been asked and answered (clearly not to everyone’s satisfaction), 2) the situation hasn’t changed materially, 3) the people involved on both sides (media and university) understand that it doesn’t benefit either of them to keep going over this ground in public, 4) the answers are perfectly obvious to anyone who’s paying attention.

Don't agree with Audit often, but he hit this one out of the park.

[Rixen]

Probably deserves it's own thread as well but seems relevant.

Keith Brake announced he is leaving FM Radio August 12th and then shortly after said that TODAY is his last day. On computer instead of phone so don't have the Twitter link. No bitterness in the departure message but did sound like it was primarily for his own physical/mental health.

Best of luck to Keith and now we get to chase down TWO radio/PxP personalities.

This is an alley-oop for you. a free opportunity to posterize me into oblivion.

1. These follow up questions have been asked and answered before? interesting! please show me where these 2 questions were asked or answered. Should be easy, just post a link or a audio link or something.

2. The situation hasnt changed materially? are you suggesting the landscape of the FCS and CFB broadly hasnt changed dramatically in the last decade and/or especially in the last year? I didnt imagine you would give me a flat earther style of argument, but here we are. But again, If i'm wrong, you can simply explain how the FCS and CFB has NOT changed materially. Again, should be super easy for you since Im simply imagining all of the recent earthshaking changes in college football, like NIL, 40+ teams changing conferences, JMU/JSU/SHSU leaving FCS, USC/UCLA going to the B1G etc. I hate when accidentally make up entire years of CFB news cycles in my head, out of thin air!

3. You indicate that its not beneficial to KEEP going over this.... Im not asking them to go over it AGAIN, I'm asking them to go over it ONCE. Refer to #1. If you can show me where they have already answered these questions, it would be so devastating to my viewpoint, I would delete my account. again, just link where these questions have been answered before and I'll delete it today.

4. Its perfectly obvious to anyone paying attention? Please enlighten us with the answer to these questions that are apparently so obvious? please. If its obvious, already been answered, has been discussed over and over again, please just copy and past the answer ML has given for my two questions.

You argue that these questions have been answered ad nauseum, AND that the answers are so obvious that it has never required an answer- which is why they have never answered it. Which one is it? cant have both. The mental gymnastics required to make your argument just sent me to the chiropractor.

But again, all ya gotta do is show me any evidence that ML has answered whether or not he believes Gene is wrong, or about when ML has discussed the fact that knowing that the G5/P5 are distinct, how the FCS is the 2nd tier of CFB. Ive searched and have not found anything on Gobison, forum, twitter or BMZ! Looking forward to hearing what news source you have that can acquire such specific insider information!
I'm Looking forward to being posterized!

Sounds like you are looking to make the guy testify under oath in an adversarial setting. That could happen in a court room, but it probably ain't gonna happen on NDSU Pravda.

Maybe WSJ or some other big national outlet could get away with asking hard/specific questions, but local guys? They rely on NDSU for access for content. They aren't gonna push hard on the AD.

No, he’s just looking to be the biggest dick possible while going back over the same old “why haven’t we moved up to FCS yet” ground.

Keith couldn’t last 30 seconds in room with Hennen before his head would explode! Was listening to his show Thursday and he totally dismissed a caller who made a comment about why nascar would bring a race to Chicago and if they would all need bullet proof vests. You can tell that comment bothered brake but he did bite his tongue after that one response. Seriously if a joke about Chicago bothers you then you seriously need to leave!

His head was too big to not know he was going to get the job. Or maybe that premier ETSU job opened up. Honestly not going to miss his fake fandom, if he was really a NDSU fan he would have stayed. He can pretend to be a fan somewhere else. We need someone with some NDSU roots to take over the microphone, not these wannabe nobodies.

I dont think we have ever had an announcer who was a fan. Scotty Miller was at UND. I think Shawn went to UND. Ed Schulz was a QB at Moorhead State and then he was an announcer for NDSU and UND. Culhane is from South Dakota. Jack Michaels may actually be a fan since he went to NDSU, but he is UNDs pxp guy. There are only 2 big time jobs in North Dakota.

Now i think most announcers become fans because they live and breathe it for years. Keith spent 6 years doing it and much more in depth than previous announcers. 6 years of radio shows, interviews, pre game, half time and post game shows. Interviews with every coach, not only on NDSU but most head coaches in the Valley. He knew his stuff

Yeah the dude worked his ass off for NDSU. I know some people didn’t like him but I think it’s ridiculous to be dancing on the grave of a guy who worked so hard to help give NDSU literally the best radio coverage of any school in the country. I’d guess none of us here know the actual reason he quit, maybe he was told he was getting a pay cut to boot or getting double responsibility during the replacement search. “If he’s a fan he would’ve stayed” lol. It’s a business, obviously often a thankless one, and he’s gotta do what he’s gotta do.

I guess that’s what we do these days, find people who don’t align with our beliefs and then relish in their setbacks. Even when that setback affects us. I hope this doesn’t mean bad things for 1660…

It has nothing to do with "our" beliefs and has more to do with espousing any beliefs. The US is so polarized that most of us are just desperate for sports talk without the politics. I have no idea what Culhane or Kolpacks politics are. Izzo let's it slip by now and then but it is not the focus of his content so no big deal. Brake made it part of his show, and I haven't listened to him in 1.5 years.

We willl never know but my uneducated guess says he was looking at this as a long term opportunity but Culhane left sooner than expected and before Keith was ready.
Maybe he doesn't see a path soon enough. Obviously they wanted him to do an insane amount of work with a new guy coming in. But not getting the voice of the Bison job isn't a slight. Its a big time job. There are many big time guys with more experience than Keith that won't get it. Then again I could be way off and maybe they offered him and gave him a lowball offer. Maybe they didn't want him or the new guy wanted his own team. Maybe they wanted to change his radio show?

Either way I hope he stays in the industry

Not saying the play by play guy needs to be a fan of NDSU but I would hope the guys running the talk shows are. If you think you are bigger than NDSU then see ya! NDSU made him just as relevant as his own doing. Seriously where else is he going to go? What other FCS school has their own radio station supported by enough listeners to make the station viable? Seriously don’t get the lack of loyalty. Good luck being a nobody!

Being a fan or an employee tends to make for rather repetitive boring takes.

Jeff was great to NDSU. Keith was a nice guy but awful to listen too. Andy is awful, time for some new blood nationally or Kyle E takes it seriously & actually goes for it.

It has nothing to do with "our" beliefs and has more to do with espousing any beliefs. The US is so polarized that most of us are just desperate for sports talk without the politics. I have no idea what Culhane or Kolpacks politics are. Izzo let's it slip by now and then but it is not the focus of his content so no big deal. Brake made it part of his show, and I haven't listened to him in 1.5 years.

Correct. I want the Insiders to be a show about the Bison, not the bison with a heaping scoop of _______ propaganda. I'm not mad at McFeeley for being political, hes literally paid to be a political pot stirrer. Doesnt bother me at all!

Its always surprising (and not surprising at the same) that every time someone says that they want _____ form of entertainment to be politically agnostic (no political opinion at all), the other side starts screaming about "why are you bringing politics into this?!?!" when what we're really asking for is to get politics OUT of this. I dont give a Sh*t who you voted for, just dont tell me about it on your sports show, even if I agree with you! I dont want every form of entertainment to be a slightly different version of Fox or CNN. You dont want to have the republican Bison channel and the liberal Bison channel- lets just have the Bison channel, lol

[B.Schlossman Fan Club]

That's interesting because I don't want them to be fans. I want them to be knowledgeable but deliver unbiased, honest info and insight on the program.

Being a fan or an employee tends to make for rather repetitive boring takes.

Maybe “fan” is the wrong word. I think having a NDSU connection is what would bring value to 1660. I don’t think someone with a connection to NDSU would necessarily bring biased coverage or opinions. Keith still had some biased opinions and became a fan of NDSU. Does that mean it is a good think he is leaving because we couldn’t rely on him for unbiased opinions?

Regional connection is important as well. It certainly helped that Culhane grew up a Twins/Vikings fan and maintained his connections to the Nebraska radio crew. Speaking of that, maybe I'm in a minority here but I actually kind of enjoyed the occasional Husker football update. Our fan bases are similar and they are the closest historical P5 power. I also liked Jorgy's perspective and updates on the Montana schools as well.

Jorgy's knowledge of FCS as a whole was extremely difficult to replace. Show was never as good after he left. Haven't even bothered to listen yet since Culhane left....

Back then, they both were real "insiders." More of a stretch now.

”Insiders” I like that with the quotes. The whole notion is kind of a joke in that what’s actually going on is the organization is controlling what is disclosed and therefore keeping the audience on the outside.

That is certainly true, particularly regarding possibly unpopular/sensitive topics, but there used to be some insider info that was useful. A great example I remember was Jeremy talking about B1G non-con scheduling and how that affected NDSU in trying to get games (which he was in charge of). That was very good info and was not just excuses from the department.

The season kicks off in 1 month and 1 day and we don't have any announcers. They've known since June 20th. If they don't fill it soon, that's quite the failure. These new guys are going to have to learn so much, so fast

And if we're taking someone else's, that school is going to be left in a pretty big bind. Maybe they've been unable to find someone that will satisfy Bisonville so they're just going to skip announcers this year.

Just play stadium noise so you have to turn down your radio when cheering is loud or after every time you hear: After the carry, that's another BISON! - First Down!

They could hire a super fast typist and then have a computer generated voice. Might be tough to generate rapport with Phil Hanson though.

Only if it's the same computerized voice Stephen Hawking used. Or maybe the original Star Trek computer like this.

Peyton rushes 4 yards to the 25 yard line. <clickety clack noises> Second down and <short pause> 4 yards to go. <more clacking noises>

I don’t think that would go over though. Likes ties too much.

[B.Schlossman Fan Club]

Why wouldn’t Izzo be a good replacement for Jeff? He could easily slip into 1660 with his radio show. Already knows the program and is decent to listen to (on the radio). I feel like if you want to plug and play someone he would be the guy. He could mentor the young talent in Andy and Kyle. Something needs to get figured out fast because 1660 is kind of dead and flat right now.

I don't know. I'm not big on his TV pxp, but maybe he would be better on the radio??? He would definitely take 1660 to new heights.

I suppose they could simulcast the WDAY show and do the Insiders. Would be beneficial to all. Finding a TV announcer is much easier than radio.

Since we are getting so late in the year, what are the chances they go with an interim announcer for one year and then search for some outstanding caller next year? I'd say a lot of people that would otherwise apply won't because they are committed to the program they are at for the upcoming season.

I wouldn't settle. It's a premium job. So if we have mediocre candidates, I'm cool having a temporary. Jack Michaels was our interim guy after Scotty died and he was solid

Alex would be great for TV football or basketball, not sure i would want him as the radio guy. If Izzo jumped to radio and 1660 and Alex filled the TV role I wouldn’t be mad.

People have to remember the radio play by play role is not the only role to fill. We need someone to lead 1660 and fill it with quality programming.

Its quite the job. A 26 station radio network that goes from eastern Montana, every square inch of North Dakota, northern South Dakota and all the way to Minneapolis.

Up to 15 football games. Every mens BB game. Home baseball games

5 day a week 2 hour radio show.
Bison football coaches radio show is weekly.
Bison basketball radio show is weekly.
Jeff Culhane also did the weekly TV show that is on statwide TV

Then you got signing day specials. Playoff Selection day specials. Spring game.

And that's just the work Culhane did

Really disappointed to see Brian S. is going to do TV for the Fighting Wioux. He was the one local guy who could have done a great job. While I was no fan of Mr. Brake's politics, he would have been on the very short list for at least an interim shot. Wonder what the hell made him so mad that he quit.

I loved Keith on the pre and post game shows honestly. Actually, pretty much ANY time he strictly stuck to sports I thought he was great, come to think of it. But I thought his handling of live calls was actually quite good, that cant be easy lol. All the best to him!

Exactly what I was thinking. Andy knows the program exceptionally well. I think he did play by play when he was a college kid almost 10 years ago. He's also been a sports director at the Flag and probably learned from Hallstrom. This way the PxP guy doesn't have a ridiculous amount of stuff on his plate when the learning curve will be fast. I think Andy will probably do the same sports Keith did and can hone his skills.
