[Husker] Pinnacle terminates John Bishop

Pinnacle Sports just can't manage broadcasting talent.  While I liked 
John Bishop and thought he was doing a pretty good job,
I liked Gary Sharp much better both as a sports show host and baseball 
commentator.  I also liked Gary Java and am glad he
is going to be back. 
Randy Lee and Matt Davidson are good people, but rather dry and 
unimaginative as talk show hosts.  I thought that was the reason they 
made Bishop stop doing baseball to concentrate on "Sports Nightly".  I 
remember listening (and turning off Sports
Nightly) when Bishop was away doing baseball and Lee and Davidson was 
doing the show.  It just couldn't keep my attention.
Here is a what if thought.  Perhaps they are going to move Jim Rose more 
as a Pinnicle employee and bring back
Kent Pavelka to team up with Gary Saddlemeyer at KFAB.  Gary and Kent 
made a pretty good team in the morning and
also on football broadcasts.
