If you’re lucky enough to get to a Cowboys game this season, you’ll hear the voice of a neighbor.

The Observer gives us Emrich’s bio:

“Emrich, who turns 55 today, got his start in the newspaper business, writing for the New Orleans Times-Picayune and in the U.S. Armed Forces in Crete, Greece. He graduated from Loyola, New Orleans and worked at KDNT in Denton and the Texas State Network in Austin before joining KRLD 1080 AM in ’93.”

Emrich, who lives east of White Rock Lake with his wife, Chris, replaces Jody Dean as stadium announcer. The Cowboys also will employ an in-game emcee, Armen Williams, who is a drive-time host on The Fan.
