Gus Johnson to call Michigan-Utah, Steve Hutchinson hired by FOX Sports
Steve Hutchinson has been hired by FOX Sports. He won't be calling Michigan's game, though. He'll be calling the weird Sunday game between Purdue and Marshall as an analyst.
However, Gus Johnson!
The two new broadcast teams join those previously announced, Gus Johnson, Joel Klatt and Molly McGrath, and Joe Davis, Brady Quinn and Kris Budden. Johnson, Klatt and McGrath are on the call for FOX Sports 1’s season-opener, as Michigan faces Utah on Thursday, Sept. 3, marking Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh’s first game on the Wolverines sideline, with coverage beginning at 7:00 PM ET.

I don't think Gus Johnson brings enough energy to the broadcast.
August 13th, 2015 at 6:18 PM ^
I'll forever love Gus for referring to Sparty as "little brother".

Hellooooo Molly McGrath! Welcome to Michigan Football.
August 13th, 2015 at 5:35 PM ^
She'll be rooting against Notre Dame, too.

Yes! This is now my favorite Little Richard song....

Can FS1 just put her in a Picture in Picture frame throughout the game....or at least during play stoppages?
Rupert knows how to pic 'em.
How about her and Holly Sonders calling the game?

With any luck, we're getting some good runs in this one so he can use, "And the runner....BANG!" in a new way. To see him work in some of those signature phrases would actually be a fun exercise indeed.

which only comes up if/when he's scheduled to broadcast anything michigan related. bad voice, bad announcer, no thank you.

which is nice, but even so, my comment was based on his voice which is frequently way, way over the top yelling. a little emotion is a good thing, but every play isn't an epic adventure. similar to brent fuss-budget who used to say things like, 'remember this play folks (1st quarter, failed to convert a 3rd and 5), it could be the play that turns this game' or similar overblown comments.

disappointing
August 13th, 2015 at 5:39 PM ^
That would've certainly been interesting after he fell head over heels in love with our satellite camps....

I like it. Johnson is a Detroit native (University of Detroit Jesuit alum) who has openly stated his affinity for Michigan sports in the past. It'll be nice to have a homer in the booth.
August 13th, 2015 at 6:31 PM ^
A great way to start the season! Too bad his excitement won't be there b/c it's going to be a Michigan blowout.

Cold Blooded!!
This is nice.
August 13th, 2015 at 6:54 PM ^
Solid. Or at least a clear upgrade from Spielman, Pam Ward, and some of the other slappies who have called Michigan games of late.

Yes, I love hearing Gus. I wish he was on the call for Denard in the 2010 ND game.
August 13th, 2015 at 7:22 PM ^
I'd rather have Charlie Day.
