What's Steve Brown thinking?
If you've watched Utah's games on KJZZ this season, you'll instantly realize one thing: Steve Brown is an awful, awful sports announcer - maybe the worst in the history of the universe.
This was reinforced when John White IV straddled the sideline on his way to a very important fourth quarter touchdown.
Brown, clueless and bumbling, tried to figure out whether or not White was inbounds. Fair enough. Except he questioned, since the field was covered in snow, whether or not the green shown on the field was actual inbounds or not.
Drr.
So that got me wondering...what exactly does Steve Brown think about during the football games?
It's a pretty fair question, since it's obvious he doesn't pay attention to the action on the field.
Maybe he admires the scenery or a special fan in the crowd. Maybe he's confused and thinks he's calling a Utah Jazz game.
I don't know.
Fortunately, the Wazzu game (I'm sure Brown thought that was a sound one makes while sneezing - so who knows how many times he said, "bless you..." Saturday night) was the last KJZZ game of the season. Hooray!
But it's not like I won't miss his Brownisms. I won't ever look at an incomplete pass the same way again - you know, without thinking that somewhere in the valley, Brown is screaming at his television, while sitting in his La-Z-Boy, that it's a completion.
Godspeed. Mr. Brown. Thanks for the memories.

We also learned that John White is the best RB in the PAC-12.
I guess someone somewhere actually believes this, but you heard it from Steve Brown on Saturday. To his credit, he has probably never heard of LaMichael James.
But my favorite had to be his comment about being in doubt about whether the green on the field was in our out.
Rick Neuheisel also says John White is the best RB in the Pac-12...
Of course, that’s Neuheisel, so…
Stats put White in the argument.
And one could argue that LaMichael plays in a very offensive, and runner friendly system.
That's awesome.
I stand corrected. I still think Steve Brown may have said his comment out of not knowing anyone else, but turns out he may be right.
Love Juan Blanco. Never seen a JC transfer make such an impact. Ever.

You’re talking about Utah only, right?
Dolphins and sharks are natural enemies. Dolphins are like, "Quit eating us," and sharks are like, "Stop smiling all the time, you morons."

Yeah, considering Cam Newton won the Heisman and led his team to the national championship...
Of course, Newton is a rare case of a legit five-star QB forced the JC route.
So…
ha ha ha.
my favorite, and this has happened in every game, he will get lost as to where the line of scrimmage was and he will be off by 5 yards. I am not even talking about the snow games either.
Utah will have it at their own 27, John White will get back to the line of scrimmage and Brown will say “White pushes his way for about 5 yards”….or the opposite…….White will get five yards and Brown says “you know Mike, he did really well to get back to the line of scrimmage on that one. 2nd and 10 for the utes coming up”.

Somewhere in Salt Lake City
Steve Brown’s phone just started ringing. It’s Craig Thompson offering him a job on the MTN after reading this post.
Last week was the worst. Between the blizzard and the low KJZZ resolution, we actually needed an announcer capable of describing what the crap was happening at times. No such luck :(
Steve: “Did he catch it? No, he dropped it. Yes? I don’t think he did. Yes, he did! It’s a catch!”
Thanks for the help, Steve.
silly kjazz
“and that pass goes incomplete…………..oh wait i guess it was an interception”

After a newspaper article about Shaun Asiata
Steve Brown made a comment about him every play. Every time John White IV would get a decent run, Steve Brown would say: “That play was all about Shaun Asiata’s incredible blocking.” Best of all, he would say it like he had gained some sort of secret infromtion from the coaching staff.
Show what channel IS the Ute game on Friday?
I can’t find it on Comcast anywhere. I hope it’s not on one of those weird non-HD channels. I’d rather listen to Steve Brown and watch HD.
lol. Comcast shows the Utah vs. Col game is scheduled from 1:30-2:00. No wonder I couldn’t find it. Apparently Equestrian Nations Cup is on at 2:00.
Also, the Comcast schedule screwed me last week when it said the game started on KJZZ at 3:30. I had it set to record. When my always late brother finally showed up at 4pm we found out that the recording started 30 mins late. Comcast is the best (or maybe it’s KJZZ and ROOT’s fault but I doubt Comcast is blameless when it’s happened 2 weeks in a row now on different channels).
kjzz fault or the network
I have dish and had the same issue…
Brown is awful
It’s like asking your neighbor who is a casual football fan to call the game, that’s who he reminds me of
I assume you're neighbor would shut-up once in a while.
The problem with Brown is that he rambles on incoherently. When he does makes sense, he’s usually wrong.
Brown may be bad, but greg wrubell is more annoying.
thank God he calls for tabernacle tech.
tabernacle tech?
ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!! thats awesome! and yes, wrubell sounds like he watching a porno half the time.

I'm still laughing
about slc ranger’s post here after the WSU game:
Steve Brown: “And the Utes are up 16 to nothin’… no, wait…19 to nothin’.”
Other guy : "It’s 19-10."
I’m hesitant to admit this, but my aunt cuts Steve’s hair. Should I ask her to lighten up on the smelly chemical stuff?

Color commentator is bad too
Mike Norseth thinks he knows everything! I met him at a friends house a couple years ago and we watched a game together and I could tell he just loves himself!
