Robb Akey

Anyone else think he did a pretty good job as the analyst in last night's broadcast? I rewatched it (groan... Eastern played baaaaaaaaaaaaaddddd...) and I liked his commentary. He needs to brush up on his TV personality, but he was light-years ahead of most professional analysts. Former coaches tend to do an infintely better job breaking down what's happening on the field versus former players. He really spells out what's going on and even describes it in layman's terms.

He reminds me a lot (especially his voice and background) of Jim Walden when he used to do Coug broadcasts (before the Paul Wulff shit-fit).

Totally agree. Hopefully he continues to get involved in the broadcasts.

I thought he did a nice job. Anyone think it must have been a little humbling for him to be covering a 1AA team that crushed him in the previous season?

I'm watching the rebroadcast now. He's doing a real nice job.

He doesn't seem terribly familiar with the teams but he's good as a color guy.

I like how he kept saying "we" when referring to EWU. I think he only caught himself once. :lol:

I noticed that, too. Hey, we need all the EWU fans we can get! :kisswink:

Very much enjoyed Akey. Hope to hear and see him more.
