"The Hair" is back. He really needs to be on TV where he can be seen, though. Congrats Mr. Dantin and thanks for your desire to give back, although you gave us plenty.

I can't believe it's been four years since he's played...

It'll be interesting to listen to somebody who has played in/very close to this current era of football. I don't think Sager or anybody else who has been in the booth recently did this often, but too many times college analysts who haven't seen a field in a very long time will go on about, "Well, when I was out there, we did this..." without thinking about how the game has evolved. I know nothing about Dantin's personality and am looking forward to listening to him.

Florida kid, right? Sticking with the Rockets, like he did when Owens got the nod over him. Quality.

Hope Owens is well. Quick google I couldn't find him.

This is good...hopefully he has some charisma in the booth!

Go Rockets!

My thoughts as well. Truly living the "once a Rocket, always a Rocket" saying. Look forward to hearing him in the booth!

I'm definitely going to miss Andy's insight into defense, but it's cool that Austin would be interested in coming back up here to do this. (Or, maybe he has been up here all along, I don't know.)

Good to read that Jim Heller will be back on the sidelines. A little familiar consistency is a good thing.

I believe he stayed in Toledo. Got his degree in Civil Engineering and I believe he has been working as such somewhere locally.

No kidding? You'd think a guy from Florida would want to go right back to Florida. Some people do come to the midwest from other regions and like it here, though.

Also important in that decision is where your significant other is from/wants to live. Don't know if that came into play for Austin, but that's often how people end up moving to other locales.

Wonder if this means they'll replace Jay Lehman as Color Commentator on Men's Basketball Radio Broadcasts to go with a complete New Broadcasting Team like they're doing in Football?
