Chuck is one of the finest baseball announcers in the business. Why can't this carry over into football? Have you ever heard him do a football or basketball game? He is a professional in every sense of the word..... He took a call in show that was limited to two markets and made it statewide... He commands a high dollar for appearances and talent fees... So why he would be too small time to make a natural evolution into the program he has been connected to for over a decade, I don't know. Sure you could bring someone in from out of state, but there isn't anyone in broadcasting that has more passion for the program than Chuck Barrett.....
Rainwater is good... Arkansas is blessed to have two good drive time shows. May I ask though what has made him more successful?
