Someone mentioned David Suttle a while back. I think he would do a hell of a job.

David did a great job on the basketball online streams if you got the chance to see them. Keith Kelley will handle the rest of football and men's basketball. Wouldn't surprise me if David gets the women's basketball spot since Keith won't be able to do all 3.

Hopefully these are temporary band aid moves. I guess Settle would be okay for women's BB games as the audience for that can't be very large. But on the football side you can't go with Keith Kelly who seems like a nice guy but he doesn't have the presence or the command to be the full time guy. Bottom line is that Monaco was badly miscast and someone made a terrible decision to give him that job. There's plenty of good radio guys out there and after the season they'll have a lot of time to find him. My last thought is that this is really weird timing.

The timing is really bad. At this point you might as well keep him the rest of the year unless you’re letting Keith audition essentially.PokesArePeopleToo wrote: ↑Sat Nov 19, 2022 12:47 pm Hopefully these are temporary band aid moves.

The timing is only bad in that it didn't happen far sooner. And why keep someone who is incompetent at his job?laxwyo wrote: ↑Sat Nov 19, 2022 2:09 pmThe timing is really bad.

Reece wasn't the same after his stroke. I truly feel bad for him but relieving him was the only option. Best of luck to him in the future. I'm curious if they stick with Keith or go get someone.

The timing of the firing doesn't make sense and makes me wonder if we are getting whole truth. Did Reece do something so egregious that he had to be removed the day before the Boise game? We will probably never get the full story unfortunately.
I'm good for 3!

I'm guessing he realized he was in over his head and didn't want to go any further. The guy who replaced him was pretty bad as well. From what I understand he's a high school play by play guy and he sounded like it. They really need a national search for the next permanent voice.

Maybe it’s because I was listening to Reece all year, maybe it’s because I’ve heard Keith Kelly call a lot of H.S. games…
But honestly, I thought KK did a really good job on Saturday. Curious what others thought?

I did not listen to Saturday's game on the radio so cannot opine on Kelly's call. What I do know is Monaco simply was not up to the job, apparently for unfortunate health reasons. Even the great Curt Gowdy got his start announcing a Cheyenne St. Mary's high school game so I would not disqualify everyone whose experience level was not as college football or above.bullbugle307 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 4:39 pm Maybe it’s because I was listening to Reece all year, maybe it’s because I’ve heard Keith Kelly call a lot of H.S. games…

Absolutely not. I want it to be a local guy who loves Wyoming and loves Wyoming sports. This isn't brain surgery. I'm sure there are guys out there who can do the job. If all else fails, then do a search. But I don't care how polished a delivery he has as long as he can adequately describe the action. But someone who feels strongly about the state and the university is a must.

Well it isn't the people we have around these parts that's for sure. By the way, where is Reece from to begin with, was he from Wyoming? If they got someone from Montana or Idaho or any places like that such a person could fit in here very well. We should not settle for high school announcers simply because they might be from Wyoming. We need a professional and someone with the chops to get on the air with no questions they are the right person for the job.

He was only there for 2 years. He grew up in San Diego. Called games for Weber State football and basketball for 3 years after he graduated. Got hired as the sports director at KVOC in Casper for 2 years, where he called games for the Wyoming Wildcatters basketball team. He was a journeyman with zero connection to the University when he was hired.bladerunnr wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 3:50 pmI hate to respond to morons but I will anyway.
