I have no idea why Bruce got let go but he was the best announcer RU has ever had and Carlin while a good supporter his voice is like listening to nails against a chalkboard with his tone and pitch. Sounds like amorning DJ in Omaha or something announcing sports. Bring back Bruce or someone else new.
Could New Coach bring back Bruce Johnson?

No thanks!
Bruce and his overused cliches - horrible
He helps out Gordon Deal and Jennifer Kushinka on:

Don't believe that the coaching change will create a happy recap for Brucie.
"Off the rim - and in!" - Bruce Johnson.
Worst description in sports history.
In this day and age how many times does anyone actually listen to play by play of a basketball game anyway? Every game is on TV for the most part. Only listen to Carlin to hear the post game interview if at all and you don't need pipes to do that.

Carlin is the worst basketball announcer ever
Bruce Johnson was an excellent FOOTBALL play by play guy, in my opinion.
But he was terrible with basketball. He just could not complete his commentary and play by play descriptions fast enough to keep up with the actual play. Basketball was just too fast-paced for his style.

He was the voice of Rutgers athletics when we were a small time local program. Now we are a big time national program that performs like a small time program..Come back B.J.
Loved Bruce. To the line. To the lane. Stop. Pop. Bingo. Sometimes when listening to carlin you will have no idea that a play has even taken place.
During a FB broadcast when the QB throws to the WR:
" Caught, then dropped. Incomplete. "
A total classic.
When Bruce called bb games, he painted a picture so I could envision what was happening on the court. With Carlin, I never know what's happening.
Anone have access to recordings of Bruce doing our games? I would love to listen him again.
BINGO!
Greetings from Olean, NY. It's not the end of the world but it's close. (Or was it, you can see it from here?)

Funny, I thought just the opposite. I had no clue what was going on when Bruce was the play-by-play man. I think he fancied himself a Marty Glickman type who could invent terminology and have it be meaningful. As far as I'm concerned, it did not work. However, Lloyd was a great analyst.
To this day my fist is still sore from the constant banging on the wall after making a call and contradicting it 1 second later.
I remember that one..I used to tape from the radio way back. i think I might have that St Bona rally where they came back from 18 down in the first half to force overtime and win. The problem is finding a tape player
Totally disagree!
I thought Bruce was great at basketball, and terrible at football.
To each his own!
This. He was awful with both sports. "Off the rim...and in!" Horrendous way to call a shot.
"it's not the end of the earth but you can see it from here"
...and with 4:32 remaining in Morgantown the wheels have officially come off.
Rutgers leads 2-0, giving them a new biggest lead of two.
Elbow left.
Bruce is a good guy and a friend. He was very poorly treated after many years of work. IMO.
