Excellence in Sports Play-By-Play

I am not an Illini fan. I suspect you've noticed that? It's an understatement, really. I have two favorite college teams: Illinois State and who ever is playing Illinois. With this is mind, let me dole out major props and kudos to Brian Barnhart, the PBP voice of the Illini. People in CU and around the midwest have the entertainment advantage of listening to the excellent work that he does on his broadcasts. What many do not know is that he is a generous and humble fellow who truly loves his work and the teams he represents. Excellence in broadcasting is increasingly rare these days, but in CU it's right under our noses -- and in our ear buds. Bravo, Brian!
