“This one’s good if it goes.”

“This one’s good if it goes.”

That's what I will always remember.

 

[Deepster]

Very well known around CT near the ESPN campus. Solid guy.

 

[ec33]

Very good broadcaster back when there was a deep pool and one of my favorites. Definitely miss his type these days.

RIP.

 

[AdamaNation]

Aww man. I liked that guy. Such a cool vibe to him.

RIP Mike, had a good run

I remember Mike P-ACC-trick and Dook Vilate doing Dook games together. That was worse than listening to Tommy Heishen doing a C's game. I loved Tommy, so I used to laugh at the bias

RIP. He was one of the guys I associated with the old time ESPN. One of the really strong broadcasters who could cover a lot of different things. Didn't realize he passed or that he was 80 now. I'm feeling old.

You are old. And so am I.

 

[Purple Stein]

Sad to hear. You let these guys into your living room and they really do become a part of the rhythm of your life.

Yeah man. Liked when he did games. Some old school acc ones too with Dickie V. He was also voice of espn Sunday night football back in the day. Not many good broadcasters left. Musburger, enberg, don criqui, summerall, madden, keith Jackson, gumbel, john miller, vin scully etc… the voices of my youth. Wish jim nantz was still doing the tourney. Most of these new guys are pretty weak when u grew up on all those names tough for the new guys to be better.

RIP. I generally liked him, but I'll always remember that ESPN used to have him call the WCBB title games despite him being entirely unqualified and unprepared.

 

[Methalius]

I remember him calling games in the early 80's but I will always remember him for 2 thing. Dick Vitale and Mike Patrick calling Men's NCAA games and I will ALWAYS remember him as doing NFL Play by Play for Sunday Night Football in 1987.

You are old. And so am I.

Agreed. You two guys are old.
