That is idiotic.
Have to agree with you on this one. I mean, obviously they don’t have a bowl game of their own to call but this is a little mind boggling.
I assume the MU home call is still being done and will be in all the usual places.
As the bowl game belongs to ESPN, via its “ESPN Events” subsidiary, I would have thought they would have just used somebody in house.
Back in the 90s, long before sat radio and internet audio and such, MU radio in Charleston was on the Bristol chain of stations; WVU, which was pretty mediocre most years and missed bowls 6 out of the 10 years, was on Raese Radio. Raese bought the neutral radio feed from the NCAA playoffs and later from the Motor City Bowl, and was going around selling “the Marshall game” against the actual Marshall coverage on the other station. The two companies’ sales guys came to blows over it.
Given how 100% anti-Marshall everyone at Metronews is, it is an odd choice, then and now.

The last several years MetroNews has had radio rights for a bowl game.
