Sound advice
When the Horned Frogs hit the turf, fans around the world are listening in.
You’d think being on the air during football games would be enough to keep the Voice of the Frogs, Brian Estridge, and color analyst John Denton ’85, busy. But for the past four years, the two have juggled an onslaught of e-mails and text messages arriving during the broadcasts on the TCU/ISP Sports Network.
They didn’t know what to expect when they started the practice in 2004 and were delighted to hear from fans listening in from both the stands below and around the world. They get up to several hundred messages each game.
“Mostly they just write to say “Go Frogs” and let us know they are listening, but some want us to tell the coaches what they are doing wrong,” Denton says with a chuckle.
“It’s really a lot of fun to get messages from someone who’s in Russia or Japan and know they are enjoying the game and rooting for the Frogs from such distances at all hours of the day,” says Denton. “We really enjoy that part of our job.”
Listen to the games on ESPN 103.3 FM /KTCU-FM 88.7 or at www.gofrogs.com.
