This is the voice of the huskers…
Greg Sharpe is the new voice of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Great choice, IMO.
Press release from the HSN:

In addition to his duties as the play-by-play voice of Husker football and baseball, Sharpe will continue to serve as the play-by-play announcer for men’s and women’s basketball on Fox Sports Net. He will also host the football and baseball coaches TV shows, appear on Sports Nightly, and host various functions throughout the year.

“It is an incredible honor to be joining the Husker Sports Network,” said Sharpe.
The announcement was a little delayed. HSN said that one would be announced sometime in January (its February now in case you didn’t know).
Then there was this funny little back and forth between the former voice (Jim Rose) and Matt Perrault (co-chief Big Sports 590 blow hard). And then the co-chief Big Sports 590 blow hard response.
