Michigan football broadcasters Jim Brandstatter and Dan Dierdorf have announced this season will be their last in the broadcast booth. Brandstatter thanked his listeners, wife, and Dierdorf during the announcement, which came just before Michigan kicked off against Western Michigan on Saturday.
“Two words come to mind for me. Thank you,” said Brandstatter. “Those two words are completely inadequate in expressing my sentiments to all of you who have been so supportive for over 40 years in my case. You’ve invited me into your homes on the radio for Michigan football and television for Michigan Replay and Inside Michigan Football. Without you and your support, I don’t have the job of my dreams and I am eternally grateful. Thank you.”
Brandstatter took over play-by-play duties eight years ago, replacing Frank Beckmann.
