About the Author
Jim Brandstatter began his association with the University of Michigan in 1968 when he enrolled as a freshman on a football scholarship. Despite growing up in East Lansing, the home of Michigan State University, Brandstatter's choice of school proved to be a very smart one. Since that time, Brandstatter has never been very far away from U of M and the Wolverine football program. Having played three varsity seasons as an offensive tackle, which resulted in two Big Ten championships and two Rose Bowl appearances, Brandstatter graduated in 1972 and started a career in radio and television broadcasting. The broadcasting work kept him close to Michigan, and in the mid- to late 1970s he was able to land a job broadcasting Wolverines football on cable TV and tape delay broadcasts. In 1980 Brandstatter was named co-host of Michigan Replay, the Wolverines coach's show, where Brandstatter was reunited with former coach Bo Schembechler. In the mid-1980s he began work as a color analyst on the statewide radio network broadcasts of Michigan football, which he continues doing today. He is also in his 26th year as the host of Michigan Replay. Brandstatter is a lifelong Michigan resident and is married to WXYZ-TV news anchor Robbie Timmons. In 2005 they will celebrate 25th anniversary, which proves that mixed marriages (Timmons hails from Columbus, Ohio) can work. Brandstatter and Timmons spend their free time at their home in Commerce Township, spoiling their pet sheltie, Cassie.
