Title: Mike Jakubowski on ESPN
Post by: Muhoops85 on July 11, 2010, 01:13:35 PM
Turned on the TV and it was already tuned to ESPN. I hear some bowling tournament is coming up and one of the commentators was our own Mike Jakubowski.  Couldn't believe it could be the same guy who calls the games at the BC . . . and yet it was Mike.

Love him or hate him, he seemed to be doing a pretty good job doing the commentary on this show before I changed to channel to watch baseball.  It was bowling, afterall.

he used to work for the bowling congress or whatever here in town.
makes sense that he might still be involved somehow as a commentator.

I noticed this as well. Awesome for Mike to get some face time on ESPN.

I ran into him at a local watering hole after one of the NCAA Tournament games this March-- Seems like a cool guy and is very knowledgeable about college hoops.

He has done a good job at the BC.

I had several classes with him, worked at WMUR with him, drank with him, laughed with him.    Good to see him doing well.

Haha hopefully he'll become the voice of bowling and leave the PA to someone else.

Never been a fan of his. Way too over the top.

Strongly disagree.  I love how his call of Jimmy Butler gradually deteriorates throughout the game.

Hey Director, you always wanted to work for the ABC.  I know you did.
