had the cream of announcers through out sports, so anyone who grew up there was definitely spoiled.
That being said this maybe a rough crowd, but a lot of the criticism is deserved. I am pulling for her, I go listen to all the race calls that are referenced and always hope to see improvement. So far I really don't see much. I know it is a tough job, that not many excel at, but one has to wonder why they threw her to the wolves as green as she is. You always wonder what goes on behind closed doors.

I got a totally unexpected phone call from Alan Buchdahl earlier this year, wanting to comment on one of my race calls where he thought he saw an area I could improve in. Never had met Alan, have no idea how he got my number, but was very happy to learn from an experienced announcer.
