Kevin Reilly Joins Football Radio Staff

[UncleEd]

Rumored for weeks, now official, former Wildcat and Philly Eagle, Kevin Reilly will do color. Ryan Fannon will move to play-by-play. The move came about when Joe Eichorn was asked to leave. Kevin has much radio experience. Good Villanova guy.
The Eichorn voice of many years will be missed.

I'm going to miss Joe. Yes, he was a homer; yes, he had the flair for the overdramatic, but the guy bled Navy Blue and White and was entertaining. Just didn't fit the new "corporate" mold that I'm sure we're going for.

Maybe Steve Pinone (born a Conn guy), Whitey and George Kolb should spend some time putting together a bus trip from campus to the Fordham game.

These people are not bobble heads, they are BUBBLE HEADS.

GOD BLESS JOE EICHORN

SIMPLY THE BEST

OFTEN IMITATED NEVER DUPLICATED

Not crazy about Kevin R. Basically was relegated to doing local HS games. Not very good.

I loved listening to Joe Eichorn all of those years and will miss listening him on the radio. Hopefully Kevin Reilly will work out well on the radio.

Its really Ryan Fannon that's replacing Joe as ply By Play Man, not Reilly. Reilly is doing the color commentary which Fannon did with Joe.

I always associated the sound of Joe Eichorn's voice with the first autumn bite in the air, leaves turning etc, etc. I will miss him.

Also, Joe made the rounds at the tailgates and mingled with the crowd. Many a good time he had with fellow VU football fans at various games and football events, both home and on the road.

Sort of like a mini Harry the K, enjoying life and such, always with a laugh and a joke. This was handled about the same way as the move to FBS. A real clusterfcuk, but, one comes to expect that , doesn't one from certain people.

I truly hope that joe will still make the rounds at the tailgates......I consider him a true friend

 

[TheFoyeEffect]

Ryan could do the games all by himself a la Vin Scully. That's the way it should be for basketball.

Im trying to get him to UD game.

 

[tplav2003]

I liked him and will miss his game calls. wish Joe the best. tom

 

[Nova 66-64]

With the limited TV exposure Joe was always my link to Villanova football when I was not at the game.

All the best Joe.

Loved Eichorns enthusiasm ! He will be missed. I was at the game last night. Anyone have a comment on how Ryan and Kevin did together?

And, anything definitive on Underwood yet?

Kevin did not do the game. Steve Pinone did.
