Josh Harris doing game commentary??

Post by PGY Tiercel »

So I was reading the preview for the Kent game and noticed this

TELEVISION: BCSN (Jim Oswald, Josh Harris)

The name is linked to Josh's bio, but could that just be something done automatically.

Pretty cool if it is him.

Josh also did the Buffalo game that I watched on mac-sports.com. It seemed like he did a pretty good job. I believe some others stated that he is still pretty fiery even when he is in the booth. At the Wisconsin game, it looked like he was the most fired up guy on our entire sideline.

I believe someone mentioned a week or two ago that Josh did play-by-play for the Wisconsin game, I think (maybe it was Buffalo).

Either way, it is good to see Josh back and involved with this program!

Cool, I guess I hadn't seen that before. Wasn't at the UatB game and don't get BCSN in Lexington. :wink:

This link confirms it.

Thats why he's the best football player we've ever had. I'll never forget the game at Purdue when Bone Crusher was playing over the speakers, and he was just slowly nodding his head before he lead the team out onto the field. He didnt look nervous at all, he looked like he was ready to drop bombs!!!!!
4th & 13 on PU 32yd line.. 56,000 fans up on their feet screaming, i held my breath the entire play trying to make as little noise as possible.. wouldnt u know Sharon would make the biggest touchdown catch in the history of BG Football, FALCON UP!

He did the Buffalo game and wasn't too bad. He'll be a fine announcer if he sticks with it. He almost always said "we" when referring to BG, which is a no-no for announcers, but I thought it was awesome.

If he gets a national gig, sure. When he's doing BG football for a NW Ohio station... I'd hope he never stops saying "we".

I'd also like to point out that BO is, once again, horribly misinformed. That is all.

Is he annoucing this locally or nationally? If it's local, then 'we" is fine and he'll be seen for what he is - a BG guy announcing a BG ballgame. If he ever makes it to ESPN, CBS, or ABC (wait, I already said ESPN didn't I?) then he needs to watch the "we"'s.

J5 was one of the best players to ever put on a BG uniform, in my opinion. He was a great leader and calm under pressure. I'm really glad I had a chance to watch him play a few times. I hope someone on this years team can assume the void that has existed since his graduation.
