Long time MLB and NBA play-by-play broadcaster named the new Voice of the Bears
GREELEY – Veteran play-by-play announcer Jerry Schemmel will be the new Voice of University of Northern Colorado Football and Men's Basketball. The former play-by-play voice of the Colorado Rockies and Denver Nuggets joins 1310 KFKA to be the radio voice for UNC Football, Men's Basketball and the Coaches Show.
"I am tremendously excited about this opportunity with UNC Football and Basketball and KFKA!" Schemmel said on his return to play-by-play duties. "I am so looking forward to getting back to doing play by play, something I've missed terribly since being let go from my duties with the Rockies. I can't wait to get going."
Schemmel spent 20 seasons in the NBA, two with Minnesota and 18 with Denver, and 10 seasons in Major League Baseball with the Rockies. He has also become well known in the cyclist community as he owns five Colorado records and has ridden across the United States three times.
Also a lawyer, Schemmel currently works as an Associate Attorney at Dan Caplis Law, a high profile Personal Injury Firm in Denver.
Schemmel will make his debut call on Friday, September 3 when head coach Ed McCaffrey leads the Blue and Gold in his first game as the Bears take on Colorado at 7 pm.
