Honestly, I give this broadcast a lot of credit. I thought it was gonna be super biased and whiny but they were actually very complimentary of Michigan. Respect
@Mitchell Bradley, Jr. Thanks for your comments M.B.J. I think your description of “a typical Wolverine fan “ , if such a person exists, has much in common with “typical fans” of other fans of teams in The Big Ten and outside the conference; with the exception of men’s and women’s ice hockey! I doubt hockey is big in the SEC or ACC or if their members even have hockey teams! I just don’t know about that. I’m loyal to my Alma Mater (Ohio State) & to the Big Ten in interconference play.
Those guys were actually really professional...was actually better broadcasting than a lot of TV guys but you could tell how much that game destroyed them.
@Aidxn yeah ...the radio part is a given....I was talking more about their commentary....not the play by play. Point is...I'm a Michigan fan and I would rather mute the TV and listen to the radio guys. That's a comment at how short the talent bench is for TV and the no talent hacks in front of a camera. There are a few good ones...a few.
@kenneth cortez If you actually watch it, Klatt said it wasn’t 88 it was actually Harrison Jr, before he saw what happened. These announcers were just fine. Clearly they didn’t see a guy get headbutted 15 yards off to the side
These guys are really good. OSU is lucky to have them. You have to have the perfect voice & tone for radio & they definitely have it. Salute to them from a Wolverines fan
The studio sound they have is immaculate. Bucks are fortunate to have them. The main guy should come work for Michigan. Doug's voice for Michigan is so squeaky at times it's really hard to listen to and make out what he's saying. 😑
As a Michigan fan, I feel that these two announcers did a very professional job and I tip my hat to them. They had class, made no excuses, no whining and the old what if, what if, that drives me nuts when some announcer fall to that. It is what it is.
@Blank Name these guys were calling Ohio State for boneheaded penalties the entire game so I am positive they just didn't see the TV replay. They are radio after all.
Being a Michigan fan, I can empathize with them. I have had that feeling many times over the years, watching Ohio destroy us. It does feel good to be on the other side though.
That first touchdown passed by McCarthy was unbelievable. He's backing up, throws the ball off his back foot while falling backwards and still manages to put a laser shot on the hands of the receiver with enough power and speed for the receiver to be able to make his move. Just a gorgeous throw
I listen to these guys driving back from Ann Arbor all the time when OSU has a different time slot than ours. They are fantastic announcers, and I appreciate them. Listened to them call the Maryland game, I knew what was going on the whole time. Super professional. They love football, and it shows.
The play-by-play guy was extremely professional. No, bad mouthing or trash talking as the game went on. Good crew and easy to listen to. Gave a real good visual of the game by each play. Great team.
A few minutes in and I gotta say this is a great listening experience. The play by play is super clear, and personally I like the old school way of doing it with more of a monotone voice than the Gus method.
They literally said they didn't see the personal foul, you know the one where the OSU player headbutts the Michigan player? Or what about them bitching about Michigan not being called for holding?
Yeah sounds way better than “sack time” I loved that guys personality he is a true Michigan man but my gosh his one liner calls on big plays can be very awkward or lackluster
I'm a Michigan Wolverine through and through but Paul Keels is one of the absolute best to ever do it , I'm sure the Buckeye faithful has him at "legendary status" , he's a great play by play man
I know a single play is not an indication of change. But that end-zone breakup is a play that feels to me as a step forward. We weren’t quite making that extra effort last year.
I liked listening to this even more because the OSU radio crew is so good and professional and recognizing of talent and a good effort even by their rival, which made the ass kicking all the better
Excellent edit. This broadcast team is excellent. Reasonably unbiased and professional. They knew both rosters. Play-by-play described formations and plays well (good for radio). Thanks for this.
I'm a Michigan fan but have the greatest respect for Ohio State as they are one of the greatest teams in the nation! I hope you see them in the playoffs because Ohio State deserves to be in the playoffs they had an excellent season!
I think many fellow Buckeye fans have thought this OSU team was as good as the 2019 team. I'm retired so I watched all the games and lots of video. I warned my friends for weeks that Michigan was going to win and that it would SHOCK many Ohio State fans. The victory machine of this team is the Michigan Offensive Line. I wish that commentators and sports media would recognize this and point it out much more. This O--Line from tight end to tight end magnifies the skill position players of Michigan, some of whom are considered good, not great. This Offensive Line is going to win the National Championship. It reminds me of the Nebraska 1995 O--Line. The defense is very good, but it is not the quality of the 1997 Michigan team, nor is the QB, nor receivers, the Offensive Line Play magnifies the play of those skill position players. It is why Michigan won't lose.
@Aegon they were to confident going into the TCU game, jj forced passes and TCU had great speed at corner. The o line was suspect of the awards they got. Didn't seem in sync after the first play of the game. Coaching let us down big time. Preparing for bowl games with a month off was apparently not crucial for Michigan staff. They looked green, like first game of the year jitters. Refs didn't help them, but you can't fumble the next play.
JJ is actually a great quarterback, he might need a little more practice on ball control but it’s understandable considering the typical Michigan offense, but we’ve all seen throughout this whole season that McCarthy has an arm and a great eye when forced to throw. But that’s not even what makes JJ a great QB, it’s his play making ability, and his legs and heart that make him a 5 star quarterback. The games against OSU and Purdue displayed this in spades. Out of the pocket he becomes the most dynamic QB in college football. I agree that all of this is magnified by the amazing O-line, but I think it’s a stretch to say Michigans skill players aren’t great, Edwards, Johnson, McCarthy, all 5 star players. Disclaimer; I only leave out Corum because of the injury..
Hard to compare against the 97 team, wasn't it like 10 or 12 of them ended up in the NFL and 3 or 4 hall of famers? This o line is definitely the best, but I give a lot of credit to JJ. Cade McNamara had that o line also and didn't get it done as good as JJ does.
I realize that they are probably way more excited about Ohio State's highlights, but I can't help but be super impressed with these announcers. They are as professional and classy as any in the business
Michael Barret makes a great play, and then notice the expresssion on that guys face. That's GREAT videography of the game. Solid gold aces to that videographer. Such a tight reaction shot. All gold to that person that got that shot.
Outstanding job of calling the game. Top notch I'm a Michigan fan,BTW! Paul Keels is the consummate professional and Jim Lachey is a first class act . Excellent job guys!
thanks so much for your hard work in splicing the TV broadcast w/ the OSU radio call. i think i've seen highlights about 15 times, and i'm still smiling every time i see them thanks again
❤️ the video of michiigan vs ohio state football , , wait until next to ohio state fans,, laugh laugh,, ryan day had turkey & mashed potatoes in the dumpster with racoons thankgiving weekends,, 2021/ 2022,,,,,laugh laugh
Golden voice. Love listening to these 2. Very objective. Have watched this replay multiple times. Paul really knows the players. Mad props from Mich fan.
respect for these announcers for sure. I'm elated we finally beat OSU IN Columbus.. it had been 22 freaking years since we last did that. Lets go Blue!
Most play by play people are good, especially radio personalities. This play by play announcer for Ohio State is very good, the best I've heard since Frank Beckman.
I miss Frank. He had a great voice, described the action well, and was reasonably objective, giving the opposition their due despite being an obvious partisan. After suffering through Brandstatter the last few years, I think Karsch is serviceable but doesn't have great pipes. Paul Keels is tremendous; can't say enough good about him. Professional and smooth. One of the best i've ever heard.
Radio calls are fun. They're generally faster-talking and more descriptive than TV guys, because they have to paint the picture for those who don't have the visual. Main play-by-play guy here has a fantastic voice, too.
Seriously solid radio broadcast. Really good pxp - focus on the action, describes the formations and play, really good voice. Color guy doesn’t overdo it. Honestly better than U-M’s radio crew. 🤷🏻♂️
My hometown radio station in Ohio carries the Buckeyes every Saturday. If it wasn’t THAT team, I would listen start to finish - Paul Keels is that good at his job. Since it’s an OSU blowout 90% of the time, I turn it off after a couple minutes. Listening to Paul Keels call a Michigan blowout is a 25-minute eargasm!! 😍😍〽️
These guys should be television broadcasters. Who cares if nobody knows who they are. Just a great call is what people want to hear. These guys do that.
Paul Keels is honestly the best in the business. As a former journalist, he does a great job being professional and objective - which the same can't be said for the Michigan radio team.
Such great crowd reaction shots, great edit! Also, very professional radio announcers. Pretty impartial except for saying the DPI in the endzone was on an uncatchable pass. If you get a hand on it, it's not uncatchable lol.
@Jason Moose Don’t be a blind fan. That happened within the sidelines, not on the field of play. Easy to miss. I didn’t see it until the replay was shown. The guys doing radio don’t always see the replays. They try to let what they see live in front of them dictate their calls. I’m a Michigan fan, but I don’t always assume the worst about my rivals. That’s just stupid fandom, and I hate it. People need to use their brains.
Michigan fan here. Very good broadcast. Respectful. Nice job, Buckeyes. And I'm sorry, that wasn't pass interference in the end zone...that's something that would only be called on the Lions.
I would love to have an option to watch games with radio announcers on the tv like we used to be able to set up before broadcast delays. I love the more descriptive style and less irrelevant banter which is required when the audience is assumed to not be able to see anything.
I actually really like these guys. You can tell for they're for OSU but they arent biased and have good commentary. No excuses or complaining, very nice call. Got my respect.
