SELINSGROVE, Pa. -- Susquehanna University football fans will once again be able to follow the Crusaders this season with live play-by-play broadcasts on WQSU-FM (88.9), Susquehanna's 12,000-watt student radio station, and via telephone through TEAMLINE from TRZ Sports Services.
WQSU will broadcast the entire 10-game Susquehanna football schedule, both home and away, beginning with the season opener on Saturday, September 2 at FDU-Madison. Coverage will begin each week 30 minutes before kickoff with The Coaches' Corner program, which features a 20-minute review and preview of each Crusader game with Susquehanna head football coach Steve Briggs. Live coverage from the game site will begin immediately following.
Veteran area sport broadcaster/journalist Jack Burns of Mifflinburg will team up with a pair of Susquehanna seniors in broadcasting major Jim Wagner (Shamokin, Pa./Shamokin Area H.S.) and WQSU Sports Director and public relations major Bill Thomas (Sparta, N.J./New Hartford, N.Y. H.S.) to provide all the live play-by-play football action. All three will also join in producing The Coaches' Corner, which will be hosted by Wagner.
Susquehanna's continued association with TEAMLINE offers fans the opportunity to catch the live play-by-play broadcasts of all the Crusader football games this season, even if they are outside the 12,000-watt radius of WQSU-FM. They can listen to any part or all of the game from any phone by utilizing the TEAMLINE service, which offers similar arrangements for hundreds of collegiate and professional sports teams nationwide.
