If I can borrow a page from announcer Rich Fields, "Jim Nantz...Come on Down!" Yes, fans, the lead PBP of CBS Sports' NFL, NCAA Basketball & PGA Golf/Masters' coverage is coming on down to pay "The Price is Right" and host Drew Carey a visit. The folks at awfulannouncing.com report that the 2008 National Sportscaster of the Year taped an appearance at the Bob Barker Studio inside CBS Television City in Hollywood earlier this month and will be giving away a very special prize on next Thursday morning's popular game show, seen at 10a locally on CBS 2 HD. Nantz will actually introduce a special Showcase trip to next weekend's NCAA Final Four at Ford Field in Detroit, complete with tickets to the 2 games next Saturday, the National Championship game April 6th, plus airfare & hotel accommodations. To borrow another phrase from Fields, along with the late Rod Roddy & Johnny Olsen before him, "This championship trip can be yours if the price is right!"
