Scott Van Pelt Giving Madison Some Love (ESPN Radio)

[bigopey76]

Right now on The Dan Patrick Show. He has declared Madison the greatest college sports town in America. For the rest of the show he will be taking calls to debate it.

Is Van Pelt the anchor from Wisconsin? I remember one of the regular SportsCenter guys being from WI..

[brewcrew00]

Yes he is from what I remember. I think he went to Green Bay Southwest HS. Once upon a time that is.

[letsgored]

I think you guys may be confusing Van Pelt from John Anderson. I believe that it is Anderson who is from WI. Van Pelt is a big Maryland guy, but he's familiar with Wisconsin due to his working on golf with Andy North, who is a huge Wisconsin guy. Van Pelt attended the UW-Maryland Big Ten/ACC Challenge game at the Kohl Center a few years back.

John Anderson is the Sconnie. I miss his old "He's from 'sconsin, I'm from 'sconsin" call on any highlight where the athlete was a Wisconsinite. Come to think of it, I just plain miss him! Has he gone the way of Linda Cohn? (another anchor I miss)

 

Van Pelt always reps his Terps, not Badgers, but clearly has big respect for a city that deserves it!

 

(You may also be getting a bit of Andy North - ESPN golf commentator, former PGA pro, and Badger alum - mixed into the stew as well. He & Van Pelt cover(ed) a lot of golf together)---EDIT: as already mentioned, oops!

you miss Linda Cohn? I'm glad she is gone, she is almost as bad as Suzy Colber (sp), both of them drive me nuts.

Van Pezie is great when is on the radio. He does the steven smith imitation better than anyone.

 

Suzy Kolber gets very little respect for being just a solid broadcaster. He doesn't draw attention to her self like some idiots do and gives solid information.

[ccbrew]

For anyone (like myself) that missed the clip, it's now available online.

A few weeks ago, they were doing an auction for the Jimmy V foundation and SVP gave some props to Madison for helping his golf game.

 

Something about staying out all night at Brats, then golfing, and then going to get PBR's and Bacon at Wando's.
