Have know him personally for 15 years and is the consumate pro. Welcome to the Ford, Scott! Great to have you.
Well, tell him that we're glad he's here. I also liked the other little points he made about it being a swing pass, etc. Nice addition to the game commentary with no distractions. His announcements went along with the flow of the game, and didn't distract you from the play.

Great PA guy, one of the best I've heard anywhere.
Still have the mini mustangs and we need to ditch that ASAP. A&M and TCU fans are going to laugh us off the field with that Sophmoric bit.

I have been a pretty harsh critic of the Gameday presentation in the past, so I suppose I have been remiss in handing out props when they are due. After all these years, they FINALLY have the audio situation sorted out. Whether or not you like the music selection, the sound quality was excellent.
Jumbo torn and graphics looked superb. Bands sounded great. No 3rd down thunder nonsense. No 'Noid'.
My only critique, and it's a big one, is that the Geldings got a better parking spot than Peruna, which is total horse-pookey. Peruna already needs to take twice as many steps.

Loved them finally showing Thad's excellent film "you gonna know my name" ! This guy does such excellent work! Also agree on Peruna!

But can we please find some song to play other than Crazy Train? Ozzy is great, but we played that over and over and over.
Yea, I'm about to start unliking Crazy Train. Stephen F is a common shortened name for Stephen F Austin. Much better presentation overall.

Most people call SFA Stephen F, so that that didn't bother me.

good voice for the announcer but gets confused in the hurry up offenses with the downs due to the slow updates by the chain crew on the sideline. watching on-field announcers on the jumbotron like watching one of those hold japanese monster flicks with the lips moving but different words coming out. The boulevard is unbelievable and seems to be getting even better. student section seemed bigger and to stay longer this game.

That is sacrilegious. Peruna should not take a second stage to anyone. At certain points in the game, we should place Peruna near the opposing team's mascots (or coaches). I'm sure he'd love to give them a swift kick. Don't know what the aggie mascot is, but i'm sure he'd love to stomp on a toad.
