If she keeps the pace of improvement from post 1 to post 47, she will be better than Gus Johnson in two years. And it's hard to be better than the best!
I'm assuming Maddie is a student reporter? My recommendation to her is to make sure she keeps practicing when the camera isn't rolling. Know what you are going to ask ... I used to work in sports journalism and it can be nerve wracking. I remember my voice faltering a few times when interviewing Hayden, Bobby Douglas (wrestling), Gable, Jim Gibbons, Jim Walden, Johnny Orr, Kevin Jackson ... as well as many players along the way... The biggest difference - I wasn't live and I wasn't on camera ... If this is her passion, hopefully she will continue to practice ...
Maddie has made a couple appearances during Iowa baseball games and she is...well...trying.
Yes, let's keep her in our thoughts!Thoughts?
I wonder what Maddie’s reaction would be if she knew this thread existed
Flattered to say the least hahamy guess is she'd be at a loss for words
It happens. Embrace it......the unnatural thoughts that is.
She made an appearance again yesterday during the baseball game!Would handle it like a pro.
Maddie made another noteworthy appearance between the second and third inning of the third game of the MSU baseball series. (Got to see her "wind-blown" look.) Must give her an "incomplete" grade for this effort; after an adequate lead-in, she apparently forgot the Mitch Boe quote she was going to use to complete her otherwise informative side-line report. As a fan, I am not discounting the possibility she was "done in" by a justifiably envious producer who failed to plug in the tele-a-prompter. She obviously inspired the Hawkeyes as they immediately scored in the bottom of the inning!
OMG. I just saw the replay of that. That is as bad as it gets. I can't believe they charge for BTN Plus.

Maddie Scott Sports!
Really pretty amazing when you consider there is a veteran awk broadcaster of 40+ years who cannot do a broadcast without making racial slurs or inappropriate comments. Maddie never ever does this and she is just starting out. Wow!
RELBFM!!Since Maddie was not on the BTN Plus broadcast, is it fair to say she has been promoted to regular BTN TV games!?!? We will see her on Friday?
