Tony Castricone, the play-by-play man for UW sports and successor to the legendary Bob Rondeau, has a new microphone spot per this post from the Tampa Bay Bucs of the NFL:
"We're excited to introduce Tony Castricone as the organization’s new radio play-by-play announcer 📻
With more than two decades of experience, @Castricone was selected to succeed Buccaneer legend Gene Deckerhoff and lead Buccaneers Radio Network coverage."
Tony was Director of Broadcast Operations at UW, coming to the university nine years ago, following his work at sportscasting work at Clemson. He is a graduate of Ohio University.
Big piece of news of course and I am happy for Castricone. Like he did when he came to the UW, he in going to the Bucs will be replacing a legendary radio PxP guy down there in Gene Deckerhoff. NFL jobs don't come along often so for Castricone to get this is fantastic for him and I wish him tremendous luck down there this fall.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, have never heard him except for clips. Don't listen to radio play by play much, if at all. He came from Clemson, so maybe he prefers living in the South again.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to Tony on his new role in Tampa.
