ESPN, FOX and CBS have tons of college games this weekend; Fowler and Herbstreit in a one-time split

Lots more college football this weekend for your viewing enjoyment.

Some notes:

• ESPN’s top college football team, Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit, are split up this weekend. The Clemson-Syracuse matchup at the Carrier Dome, Saturday on ABC at 7:30, will be called by Sean McDonough and Herbie. Maybe the talented Sean will remind Herbstreit that this is a telecast not a classroom. No lecturing allowed. 

• Fowler has been assigned the Pitt at Penn State game at 12n Saturday. He will work with Todd Blackledge, arguably the best analyst in the ESPN stable.

• An ESPN spokesperson, explained, “Sean McDonough, a Syracuse grad, is being honored this Friday by the university with the Arents Award. This is a one-time shift in assignments to insure that Sean could be at Syracuse to accept this prestigious honor in person.” The last time the Tigers played in Syracuse, the result was memorable. They were upset by the Orange.

• Caffeine infused Gus Johnson and partner Joel Klatt are in Bloomington to call Ohio State and Indiana, high noon, Saturday for the Foxies.  

• CBS starts its SEC coverage in the 3:30 window. Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson will preside for the Tiffany Network on Alabama at South Carolina.

• I note that Bobby Rosinski is doing play-by-play for the UMass at Charlotte game. His dad is Bill Rosinski, a longtime solid football announcer who called the NFL Panthers, Westwood One and recently ESPN Radio. Like father, like son.

Dave Flemming

Dave Flemming is on the call for Friday night’s matchup on ESPN between Washington State and Houston alongside Louis Riddick. This is his seventh year calling college football for the Worldwide Leader and his return to College Football Friday Primetime, after three seasons working games on Thursdays.

Flemming rose quickly to the top, using the Pawtucket Red Sox’s proven pipeline to break into the Major Leagues. Flemming did his first game with San Francisco at the age of 26 in 2003.  The following season, he joined Jon Miller on the Giants’ radio team full-time. He has remained on the Giants Radio Network ever since, witnessing historic moments, like  Barry Bonds breaking Hank Aaron’s home run record, Matt Cain’s perfect game, and three SF World Series titles.

Dave returned to his alma mater, Stanford, in 2007, as the Radio Voice of Cardinal football and basketball, though he elected to leave that post in 2013 to cut back on his busy schedule. ESPN first brought him in to call college basketball in 2010, and he soon added college football and both MLB and college baseball to his national resume. His baseball work has included Monday Night Baseball, the Little League World Series and MLB playoff games on ESPN Radio.
