    Tech Play by Play Radio

    It’s so frustrating trying to listen to a game when Dave Nitz isn’t on the air. After Nitz I’d prefer Mark Kramer over Teddy Allen. To me, and it brings me no pleasure to say so, but Allen is slow to say what’s going on and seems not to bring any excitement or enthusiasm to the broadcast. It’s agonizing to hear the sounds of the game in the background with Allen seeming to be a half play behind in announcing it.

    First, it's not fair to compare anyone to Nitz. Our HALL OF FAME broadcaster is one of the best. Period.

    But, I don't like Teddy Allen at all. He brings nothing to the booth. Useless as a football "color" guy since he doesn't know what he's looking at out there. Slow...boring... but, JMO.

    Why does it sound like they just piped in a phone call. Does the love shack need an upgrade?

    They are supposed to be doing voice over internet connection for the broadcasts, but apparently not for baseball. The sound quality sounds like the 1970s all over again.

    The volume is different when Dave does PxP. Someone is not "flipping the right switch" in the booth.

    I've had this same question over the last few seasons. I've checked the visiting team's radio broadcasts several times via various apps while sitting in the stands and found much better quality.

    For example, UL-Lafayette's broadcast was studio quality. Crystal clear.

    Look out...you have broken the golden rule. That is, never criticize Teddy Allen. I will go on record to say I have never cared for him in the booth. I really don't care for most of his humor either. I'm sure it plays well amongst his friends, but I agree with with you. Slow, boring, sometimes embarrassing. He offsets Dave's brilliance on occasion. But, JMO.

    Well.... Why does Tech not take pride in providing wonderful things?

    Well, I thought I was the only one! Glad to know it was not just me. I am sure he is a great guy but his commentating is a lot less than desired. Thanks

    I like Teddy Allen. On some of the protracted weather delayed broadcasts during football he was hilarious. And I think he does a very good job at color commentary with football. I also think he's done a great job at the events where he's been the MC. Plus I think he's a very good journalist.

    Maybe it's a taste thing. Now, I haven't heard him do baseball or basketball. Maybe he's not the everyday voice of the Dawgs or maybe he needs time in the saddle, I don't know. But for the broadcasts he's been a part of that I've heard, I like him.

    It could be a bias thing. I've known him so long (worked with him in the SID) that I feel like one of my best friends is just telling me what is happening in the game.

    LOL. Remeber when we had very little radio in February and March? As in zilch?

    Just tell me the score, the inning, the batter, the runners, the outs, the balls and the strikes (and the time left, if it applies.)

    Until then, let's just wait for Dave and the conference play.

    "Let's check the scoreboard. . . . . Well . . . that was stupid. They don't have it right either."

    Re: Tech Play by Play Radio

    Teddy badly needs a crowd mic like Dave uses.

    And Teddy is obviously not a pxp guy. Neither is Cramer. Tech needs to find a real pxp backup for Dave because these games are painful to listen to when Dave is out. Teddy is great as a coach's show host though.

    But most troubling of all are Tech's bush league CUSATV broadcasts. At least 2 of our baseball broadcasts did not work at all, and our MBB broadcasts are infuriating to watch because Tech has gotten lazy just showing the video board feed. Tech's CUSATV broadcasts of the biggest possessions of the UNT and Marshall games were showing our bench telling fans to MAKE SOME NOISE. Unacceptable. Our AD must get his act together. SideArm ought to take all these refunds resulting from Tech's incompetence out of Tommy's paycheck.
