I saw this on Twitter too. I've sent him my congratulations there.

Also, another Valpo grad, Nick Galac, a former cross country and track athlete at VU, was recently hired by ESPNTheMagazine as a photo editor.

Worked with Adam at WVUR-FM his senior year, my rookie campaign. Easily the best broadcaster and influence I've had at Valpo. No surprise where he is now, even at only 23-or-24-something years old. Congrats to Nick as well!

Fantastic news! Congratulations Adam!

Richly deserved.

Sounds like college football is a sure thing? With the rest, "college basketball, Olympic sports and baseball" being possibilities later in the year?

I hope the last three come true. I might well watch some random game from one of those categories just to hear Adam do the broadcast. I'm not sure I can muster even that much enthusiasm for college football

(OK, OK. Probably at least for a few plays.)

Adam is currently calling the Sun Belt Championship game on ESPN2. Funny that the Summit League game is on ESPN2 at the same time our game is on. We can look at it as though it is us transitioning our success from that conference to the HL

One of his calls in the Sun Belt final (men's game, he called both finals today) made a SportsCenter tease going into a commercial break (edit: two straight times in the same show now). It's happened a few times before, but since the topic came up again courtesy of valpotx, figured it was worth posting.

He's getting some great exposure for an ESPN rookie and making the most of it with some great calls. Hope he can keep it up!

It also helps Adam that he's open to all conferences. He doesn't arrogantly bias himself to the ACC, Big East, Big 12, Big 10 or SEC. I've heard him work SWAC, MEAC, MAAC, volleyball, football, men's and women's basketball, and he'll do some baseball or softball in the spring. Best of luck to him with the rest of this college sports season.
