Bremser and KFAB
'only game in town'
One era ends and another begins tonight when
Nebraska meets Penn State. No, it won't be the fact
that Dave Uimington is no longer snapping the ball,
and no, it's not the fact that Mike Corgan has given
way to Frank Solich as backfield coach. It's up in the
broadcast booth, where the era of four stations orig
inating HusKcr broadcasts has ended. With tonight's
John
Kopetsky
game, KFAB's Lyell Bremser not only begins his 45th
season at the mike, but begins the first year of the
new Nebraska Football Network.
For those of you who haven't heard, KFAB and
Bremser wil be "the only game in town" this year. The
station is beginning a five-year contract to serve as
flagship station for Husker football and basketball.
KFAB has put together a 28-station network across
the midlands, and in places likes Texas and Califor
nia. Locally, KFOR (1240 AM) and KSRD (96.9 FM)
will carry the games. Getting this exclusive contract
was not cheap.
KFAB submitted a sealed bid to the Univesity (as
did WOW, KLIN, KFOR rud KLMS) for the rights.
Their winning bid was about $540,000 a year for five
years. So, this fall, Don Gill and Joe Patrick will be on
the sidelines, Tim Moreland will be doing Minnesota
Viking games, and Ray Scott has moved on to UCLA.
Like him or not and there are plenty of the latter
KFAB's "Mr. Football" is your only choice.
Some poor souls don't especially care for Mr.
Bremser's style of play-by-play. They say he's too old,
too slow, and misses too many things. They add that
he gets too excited, and really isn't unbiased. Well, I
say that Lyell Bremser's broadcasts are good, excit
ing and most importantly, makes you feel like your
in the stadium.
