Spencer Tillman says he has agreed to call college football games this fall for Fox Sports, where he will be teamed up once more with his former CBS Sports on-air partner Tim Brando.
Tillman, the longtime Houston area resident and former Oilers player, did studio work for CBS for 16 years, primarily focusing on the Southeastern Conference. He spent all but one year during that period working alongside Brando, who left CBS prior to the 2014 season to call games on the Fox networks.
“The old band is getting back together,” Tillman said. “It will be exciting, and it will give me a chance to balance things out. We sat in the studio for years, and it was great. There’s no better seat.
“But to be a complete journalist, it’s important to be able to do all things. The way things have worked out, I will be able to do games with Tim. The people at Fox have been great, and I look forward to it.”
Tillman also will continue to call Texans preseason games on KTRK (Channel 13).
