Could not find a game I am interested in watching today and ended up checking in on ETSU vs GW on ESPN+. I had forgotten about his gig with the Bucs but immediately recognized the voice. With no teams I care about watching I am getting me a DJ fix instead.

This is nothing against the current broadcast team; they do a great job there are certain voices out there that resonate with a team: Jack Buck and the Cardinals, Marty Brenamen and the Reds, Skip Caray and the Braves, and DJ and the Mountaineers. It's just that d**n simple! (Trivia: who's the author of that statement?)

I watched a little too. However, I could not get into ESPN3 (no trouble with ESPN+). After 40 minutes on the phone with Charter Spectrum I was told it was an ESPN issue which sounds bogus. Anyone else have trouble?

I really like our current crew and fully support them as we all should. They do a great job. Very professional.

From ESPN... Have Spectrum force sign you out of ESPN.com And have them remove an auto log in token that causes you to stay logged in, ESPN will continue to redirect you because it needs you to re-authenticate.
I just cleared Cleared my browser history so it would go to the login page.

So Mr. Stonewall, you're busted! You're sounding like the great (in his own mind) Steve Brown himself!

Last Saturday I couldn't get the sorry ESPN+ to operate so I listened to the game via the internet feed and Adam and Simms are very good and will only get better if they get to continue working together and I am glad we have them doing APP football - But, David and Steve were the best combo in the state during their last couple of years. Many a time after seeing the game in person I would listen to the replay of their call. Just like with other things, those times are behind us and we move on. I am sure the UNC fans missed Woody and the Duke fans miss Bob Harris. I have listened to both new teams at Duke and UNC and just like our "new" guys they are very good...
All the best to Adam and Simms and David and Steve you will never be forgotten!!!

Totally agree. I love Adam, Molly and Sims. Good people too!
Ill always remember Brownie for "Take that orange sweater boy." "Yardsale at the Big House" and "Bang Bang Bang" my favorite DJ call is "And the Mountaineers move on! after the JMU playoff game in 07.

If "it's just that d*** simple" has a snort in there, then the author would definitely be Coach Jim Brakefield.

Another good DJ call was "I don't care!" after the Miracle on the Mountain play when it was noted that App was getting a 15 yard penalty for celebrating after the 2 point put us in the lead.

Give that man a cheroot! Coach Brakefield it is. I heard that more than once on the practice field. Yes, there is a snort in there; that goes without saying.

He never directed it towards me but there were many players to whom he directed it!

I think it had to do with fans yelling on Yosefs Cabin.
