Kugler, a four-time winner of the Nebraska Sportscaster of the Year (2003-2006), is in his second season as Westwood One's lead play-by-play announcer for its NCAA basketball coverage. For the Final Four broadcast he will be joined by former Seton Hall head basketball coach Bill Raftery, who is in his 17th year as Westwood One college basketball analyst and by former Georgetown head basketball coach and Basketball Hall of Fame member John Thompson.

The Final Four broadcasts are scheduled for April 5 at 4 and 7:30 p.m. with the National Championship set for April 7 at 7 p.m. from the Alamodome in San Antonio.

Great Job Kev

Will Erin Andrews provide sideline commentary? If she does, Kugler will have the best of both worlds -- best seat in the house for the Final Four, expert commentary from two basketball legends and the best eye candy in all of sports media strolling the sidelines.

Mmmmmmm...Erin Andrews....

Congrats, Kev. Maybe it;s another step out in getting you out of this gay cow town, and on to the big time.

Ever wonder why there's no "sports babes" in this town? Well, except Matt Perrault. And being gay, not a chick, he doesn't count. Imagine Marla Rabe doing sideline reports for Nebraska games. Now that would be a broadcast worth watching.

Sorry The Perrault. You lose again.

Congrats to Kevin, this is much deserved and a great decision by Westwood One. I'm jealous that he gets to sit with the great Billy Raftery. "The Owls' matchup zone has MAN-TO-MAN principles"

Yeah, but can he call a wrestling match?

More importantly, could he call a six-sided cage of lust match between Erin Andrews, Marla Rabe, Brandi Peterson, and Farah (ODB) Fazol?

Keep Fazol out and I'm all over that...

I say throw in Malorie Maddox for good measure...even if she's at channel 6....

i did notice another new babe on Action 3 & 42 (yes i said 42)

Nah, ODB Fazol stays. Every great wrestling show needs it's bizarre, weird, disfigured monsters...even ones that can't speak correctly. Makes for good balance.

I'd add the luscious lips of Kerri Stowell to that group...

"ODB Fazol"??? Explain ODB please.

Does this mean I won't have to listen to Billy Packer and Jim Nance tell me "The Masters, a tradition like no other" a thousand times? I can just turn on the radio?

You must listen to me and worship me before I destroy you, because I am a tradition like no other, just like the Masters. Go Wake, Go Carolina, Go Duke, my beloved ACC will rule the world again.
