Purdue Game Broadcast: Not Gus
The Fox crew covering the game Saturday will not include Gus Johnson, for those concerned about potential Gus-effect. It will, however, include Brady Quinn.
Jeff Brohm has #Purdue cranked up.. this should be a great atmosphere for #Michigan & our FOX game on Sat! @3rd_Goal @Joe_Davis https://t.co/2bqN1gGL77

Brady Quinn for Heisman!

That game will forever be porn.
September 18th, 2017 at 2:56 PM ^
should be the soundtrack for ALL sports highlights.
September 18th, 2017 at 12:15 PM ^
will be in Yeast Lansing. He is doing mostly the primetime games I think. (Unless the "big game" is in the day like The Game).
September 18th, 2017 at 12:15 PM ^
September 18th, 2017 at 12:24 PM ^
Now I won't have to watch the game on mute.
September 18th, 2017 at 12:33 PM ^
Does anyone have any insight on how we can watch the first quarter of this game? Im not buying that a baseball game is only going to last 3 hours
September 18th, 2017 at 12:40 PM ^
I'm pretty sure the Buckeye / Army game was supposed to be 4, but it was pushed back to 4:30. Otherwise, It may start on FS1, or some real random channel. I agree though, the baseball game will stll be in the top of the 8th by 4.
September 18th, 2017 at 12:44 PM ^
Might have the start.
September 18th, 2017 at 2:08 PM ^
Im guessing FS1 will have another college football game on at this time so the App is probably the right answer, we will see
September 18th, 2017 at 8:18 PM ^
So, you should be ok if you have the app on a smart tv or roku or fire stick
September 18th, 2017 at 12:40 PM ^
September 18th, 2017 at 12:48 PM ^
Yes.
"The QB throoOOOOWS, FIRST DOWN!! WOW!! There are now 14 minutes left in the first quarter"

I watched the USC-Texas game this past weekend that he announced. Texas was making a late drive to take the lead. The UT QB dropped back to pass and, take it away Gus...
EHLINGER TO THE ENDZOOOONE!!!
and then the ball dropped harmlessly to the turf. No one was within 15 yards of the ball. Um, OK, Gus. Not sure what was so exciting about a throwaway.
September 18th, 2017 at 12:53 PM ^
Everybody loved Gus, now everyone is hating on him.
The answer, as it often seems to be nowadays, is in the middle. I don't listen to him that much, but you're spot on for that game. Given his reaction I thought surely a WR was breaking wide open. But he was just yelling for a deep ball. Way over the top.
He just needs to tone it down some - bring it for the appropriate moments - and he's still a great listen.

Musberger was great 20 years ago and not liked today, you don't think it's possible he is just not as good as he used to be The guy should retire.
September 18th, 2017 at 8:20 PM ^
Musberger did retire. He owns a sports book in Vegas with his brother now.
September 18th, 2017 at 11:11 PM ^
September 18th, 2017 at 4:50 PM ^
The answer is never in the middle. It's always way out there on the fringe. The establishment wants us to believe that safety lies in the middle so they can keep us contained. #fightthepower
September 18th, 2017 at 1:13 PM ^
Still Great. The Haters are gonna Hate.
September 18th, 2017 at 1:32 PM ^
Gus is great. Darnit.
September 18th, 2017 at 2:17 PM ^
September 18th, 2017 at 2:23 PM ^
Gus cracks me up. A few years back, he did a Penn State-Northwestern basketball game where both teams were in the bottom of the conference standings. He was treating it like a final four game.
September 18th, 2017 at 2:55 PM ^
in basketball, when a guy shoots, the odds are good that it has a chance to go in and the flight time is relatively short. In football, when the QB throws, it could be nowhere near anything, the flight time is longer, and you just sort of have to wait and see. You can't just say OH SHIT HE'S THROWING TO THE ENDZOOOONE every time the QB drops back to pass.
I admire his excitement, though, because it did take the USC-Texas game to another level.
September 18th, 2017 at 3:00 PM ^
any day over the blandness that is every other sports announcer in every other sport. Now if the forehead guy still trading off his Dad's credentials......Joe Buck was doing this game - different story.
September 18th, 2017 at 4:03 PM ^

Count me in on the side that loves Gus. If it is a close game in either football or basketball, there is no one I would rather have in PBP.
