RUSS EISENSTEIN
After taking Ohio's broadcasts to a new level in 2009, Russ Eisenstein returns for his second season as the "Voice of the Bobcats."
Through the production and presentation, the games have a different sound. Online content has been developed through the Bobcat Broadcast Booth at OhioBobcats.com to give fans on-demand listening. Eisenstein, who has a track record of improving products, is one of the youngest broadcasters on the major college level with play-by-play as his true passion.
Eisenstein has been a part of five universities, a minor league baseball team and an NBA organization.
His big break came when he spent two years as the studio host for the New Orleans Hornets when they were in Oklahoma City. He handled pregame, halftime, postgame, TV shows and talk shows. During his time in the NBA, he spent two summers calling minor league baseball for the Eugene Emeralds, the Short Season Class A affiliate of the San Diego Padres, and as a talk show host in Oklahoma City.
He left the Hornets to become the "Voice of the Idaho State Bengals".
Eisenstein also has handled the pre-, half and postgame duties for Southern Illinois and Illinois State, play-by-play for baseball at both schools, and women's basketball at SIU. He's called Illinois Wesleyan football and baseball, and high school games in southern, and central Illinois. He's done a little bit of a lot in the broadcasting business.
Eisenstein grew up as a Mid American Conference fan in Bolingbrook, IL. He's a 2002 graduate of Southern Illinois University.
ROB CORNELIUS Rob Cornelius has been a part of the Bobcat-ISP Network since 1997, first on-air as Football sideline reporter in the 1999 season while an undergrad at Ohio. He produced the Bobcat/GTN Television Package in 2007-08 and now serves as color analyst for football and men's hoops radio broadcasts.
Between stints on the network, he covered the MAC for the Parkersburg News, Adidas Blue Ribbon Annual, WYLI-AM and WTAP-TV in Parkersburg. When he's not with the Green & White, Cornelius produces regionally televised basketball & football games, writes columns for the State Journal (W.Va.), and manages political polling & campaigns.
CALEB TROOP Caleb Troop is in his first season as the sidelines reporter on the Ohio ISP Sports Network. Troop is the sports director at WXTQ-FM in Athens, the flagship station of Bobcat athletics, and sister station 970 WATH-AM. Along with hosting morning radio reports and a nightly sports talk show, he also hosts "The Jim Schaus Show" with the Ohio Director of Athletics Thursdays from 6-7 p.m. ET.
