Default Any of you like Wrubell?

Personally I can't stand him.

I like the A&M radio guy, so I was actually surprised to find out that I am the only one!!!

Everyone accusing me of trolling. LOL. AND I AM NOT EVEN TROLLING FOR ONCE!

I personally like Wrubell. He's a homer. But his analysis is usually not crazy. I also like that he's challenged Bronco lately on the scheduling thing.

Me not liking him has nothing to do with his views.

I don't like his speaking style, the timber of his voice, etc.

I don't like the look of him. He's short and has beady eyes. I think he is very suspect.

Nevertheless, I like Wrubell.

His voice takes some getting used to, but he does a good job, IMO.

Wrubell has grown on me and I will always be endeared to him as it was Greg Wrubell who conveyed for me, while I sat anxiously listening to the KSL Internet feed in my apartment in Paris, France, the wonder that was Beck to Harline on November 25, 2006.

Having had a chance to work more closely with Greg Wrubell, I can say that he is a genuinely nice guy, and while he is clearly "blue", I don't think that his analysis are usually too off. So yes, my view is probably tainted a bit because I've had more interaction with him and he wasn't a douche, but I could see why he would annoy some.

I like him as a person. He and his wife were in the same birthing class as my wife and I when we were expecting our first child. This was when he was the sports guy on KSL radio and he may have been doing some sideline work for BYU games.

As for listening to him call a game, I have never heard him.
