Steve Lavin Update

Steve hasn't been up to much since basketball ended, not even announcing NASCAR or the spelling bee. A Steve Lavin search on Wikipedia led me to some insight on what Steve does during the off season. According to Wikipedia (the ultimate source of knowledge), Steve speaks at many events throughout the country for businesses and schools. Apparently he knows a lot about communication, motivation, management, recruiting, and leadership. In fact, Steve will be in Brent's favorite city in Big Ten country, Madison, WI, this Saturday speaking at a coaches for cancer event. The headline for The Capital Times' article about this event is hilarious. "Behind the Mike: Lavin 'inculcates' viewers with hipness." Reading the article, it's obvious that the people of Madison are in awe of Lav's vocabulary. It is a sad day in Wisconsin when Steve Lavin is considered "hip."

I wonder if Brent will tag along and spend the weekend in his favorite Madison bars?

Brent Musburger Update


So what has Brent been up to lately? Well basketball season is over and he hasn't done anything ridiculous lately so we haven't heard from him in a while. I'm sure he's been doing some baseball announcing, but it just came to my attention that Brent announced the Indy 500 this past weekend. In fact Brent has been doing this since 2005. And Brent has been involved in announcing NASCAR too.
Here are some NASCAR quotes by Brent from awfulannouncing.blogspot.com:
-"There is nothing like the sound of the start. Forty-three cars screaming around the corner. It’s like the apocalypse is now. You think the world is about to come to an end. There’s nothing like it."
-"The fan part will be great. This is not an elitist crowd. I’ve had a few beers with that demographic."

Brent will announce any sport just as long as he gets to be drunk while doing it.

Happy Birthday Brent!


May 26th was Brent Musburger's 69th birthday! Hopefully Brent still has a few more good years of announcing left in him. Here's to another great year Brent...let's have a beer!
