Wright State still has a top-notch radio team with play-by-play announcer Chris Collins and, most games, WING’s Justin Kinner.
But fans have had to adapt to not having popular color analyst Jim Brown, who has been a vocal supporter of the Raiders throughout his 12 years behind the microphone.
“I’m getting all kinds of calls from people. They’ve been so nice,” Brown said.
The 79-year-old former coach has been sidelined with a lower-back issue. It started during a Florida vacation, and it grew worse during a flight to Colorado State for the season-opener.
He’s been diagnosed with spinal stenosis and will undergo surgery in the next few weeks.
“I can’t imagine I’m going to do a game (again this year). I could make it out there. I use a walker in the house or if we go out. But I don’t know how I’m going to be after I’ve sat a while,” he said.
