Mike Getman was the only good thing about the broadcast. Seems intelligent and keeps his comments short and to the point. EM is not as bad as we think, needs to be on a live Mike. Since Norwich is the only "big" city near Hammy, we can't expect a Jim Nance type guy in the booth. I guess after many years of listening to EM I've been brainwashed.

I actually think EM typically does a good job. It's just apparent that no one really cares about the video broadcast--including whether you can hear both him and whoever is doing color. Thought Getman was great. Who is he? He was obviously rooting for Colgate but was also honest about what he was seeing. Called out the good plays for each team and also was quick to point out where Colgate was lacking. Didn't use a single cliche--which is pretty unusual for broadcasters at this level.

Mike Getman was a classmate and fellow dorm-mate (West Hall) of mine. He was also starting tight end and played a key role in some of the biggest victories of my college days. Then as now, Mike was intelligent, perceptive, soft-spoken, kind, and a nice guy. Several of the football players in my class fit that description, including co-captains John Marzo and Angelo Colisimo, who are now well-known academic surgeons. Thank God George and Agnes Langdon were around to rid us of the dumb jock image a couple of years after Mike graduated, by downgrading fb and instituting recruiting restrictions including the AI!
