Kansas State is finally turning its fate around. They have been through a slippery season so far. But K-State is shaping up ahead of the week 17 to fight against BYU. A fresh win against Iowa State gave them the much-needed boost ahead of week 13. All the Jayhawks have to do now is to mount a statement to win against BYU which has sat in the sphere of College Football Playoff. The Cougars live up to their undefeated streak so far and don’t want to let up now. LaVell Edwards Stadium is going to live another riveting night this weekend. But do you know who will be on the watch from behind the microphones? Let’s introduce you to the popular ESPN commentator’s duo.

The Cougars knocked out Utah Utes in their last game, winning 22-21. The Jayhawks’ last feat was a 45-36 win over the Iowa State Cyclones. Both of them had some feel-good moments ahead of their clash. But for the Cougars, they need to be on their ground, letting no over-hyping narrative get the better of their next challenge on the line. With the same pressure from both ends, the match has to be something off the chart. The cherry on the cake? Mark Jones, and Roddy Jones, with their sensational voice and on-point analysis during the night, kick-off.

It will be always a pleasure to listen to the two generational voices of the college footballs in such a crucial match-up. Imagine Jake Retzlaff pulling off an impressive touchdown and Jones pair following it up through their minute observation and narrative spirit, adding extra bliss to the celebration. Exciting! Right? Regardless, Coach Kalani Sitake has his priorities set.

”As much fun as that game was, now we go back to our same process of learning from the game, trying to find a way to get better and improving from it. Then now, moving on to the next one and doing it with the ability of staying humble and staying hungry and getting back. That’s what we’re going to do this week.” Kalani said in a pre-game press conference.

However, coming back to the broadcaster’s duo, there is a common myth about them to burst.

Do Roddy Jones and Mark Jones share a familial connection?

If someone addresses Mark Jones and Roddy Jones as Jones brothers, you are going to believe that if you don’t have prior knowledge of their family background. The way the two complement each other on the commentary table is unreal. So, sharing the same bloodline would make a feasible narrative, but the reality stands apart.

Roddy Jones And Mark Jones make an odd age pair with a huge 28-year gap. No, we aren’t kidding. Despite their faces and chemistry hiding it well, it is what it is.

62-year-old Mark Jones belongs to Toronto, Canada. His parents named him Mark Vernon Jones. He has Hugh Vernon Jones, his father’s middle and last name.

On the flip, 35-year-old Roddy Jones has been a Georgia guy, firmly seated in a joint family culture. His parents Rod and Angel Jones, named him Roderick Rinaldo Jones II. He has a longstanding tie with football as his dad used to play football at Brown, and his brother, Darius, is an Air Force footballer.

Hell, and heaven differences, but they crossed paths in ESPN’s comprehensive college football coverage in recent times and have been taking the CFB to storm ever since.

If they had a blood tie, they would have made a collaborative pair much earlier than now. But believe their destiny brings them closer at a perfect time and wait for the magic to unfold more down the road.
