BeazSioux Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Tim hanging them up and Paul takes over men's hockey play by play??? I like Ralston but I hope Tim isn't leaving yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Going strictly by memory here, but I believe Tim's first season broadcasting was where he had to watch the Evil M beat Gino's team in the National Championship. However, a year later he was broadcasting Gino's first title (1980). Think about that: Tim's been on the road every winter the UND hockey team for over 35 years. He's broadcast UND winning six of the eight titles, titles that now span seven decades. If Tim wants to step back a bit and spend some time with his wife and boys, I can't blame him. Hey, he's earned it. However, can I ask that if Tim is looking to slow down can he take the Vin Scully approach? Let someone else go on the road most of the time, but keep doing home games, or maybe television. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he can, but I can definitely see that being a HUGE perk to staying. "Oh hey, Nick, you wanna center the best line in college hockey for two of the three years you're here? They'll make you look good... like... SO good. Oh wait, you're already really good? Ok... well they'll make you look even good.... er." "Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna do that." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim only wants to do Hockey. I think they should go after Ryan Cunningham from KNOX. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cratter Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Quote UND will no longer employ its radio play-by-play announcers. That means Tim Hennessy and Paul Ralston will no longer be UND employees. That doesn’t necessarily mean that they won’t be calling games anymore, though. Going forward, UND will contract with Learfield Sports. http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=103096 Wonder why Jack Michaels, UND football radio, will still be a UND employee but not Hennessy.

As of today, I'm an unrestricted free agent and, due to budget cuts, I will be handling both the Play-by-Play and Color Guy duties. Well, I guess I should clarify.....I'll be doing PxP and Morgan Mundane will handle Color but there'll be no charge for Morgan. We'll also have Ma Linger and Backlash Larue as guests between periods. :-) Google Steve Cannon at WCCO to understand the above post.

The Sicatoka Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Rick, buddy, we've talked about this: You may have a face for radio, but you have a voice for print. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpaw Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Highly unlikely Tim gets hired by Midco, as he doesn't have the filming/editing skills required to work for Midco in GF. Especially, with Midco getting the NDSU Basketball contract, there will be some employees who likely work for both UND and NDSU games... meaning fewer full-time people in GF.

You're assuming Jack will work for UND. Are we sure he wasn't approved by UND to be their radio voice but will work for Learfield? Normally when you contract broadcast rights out you retain final say on who you'll accept to be the voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the biggest factors could be the numbers 2-23-96. That's Nick's birthday, meaning he doesn't turn 21 until next February. How would you like to be staying at a hotel on a road trip through Ohio and unable to drink with your teammates. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
