Guy is the best. Love his calls and like some others, he's the only PA guy I can remember and I've been going to games for over 15 years.

Musketeer Madness had a nice article a couple years back that discusses the 3 point field goal call: http://musketeermadness.com/article.asp?ID=1565
I hope he stays another 20 years. Coaches and players come and go, but his calls tie a lot of different eras of Xavier basketball together.Last edited by West is Best; 11-16-2013 at 09:50 AM.

This thread is making me think of some of my favorite PA lines and how he says some of the players' names. The # 1 for me will always be, "Daaaarrneellllllll Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllllllllllliams," when the starting lineup was announced.

I can't remember what bar I was at, but I ended up seated next to him not knowing who he was. For some reason the conversation shifted to Xavier hoops and he told me he was the announcer...and I didn't believe him. Then he went through all his "calls"..."three point field goal, three point field goal"...."we have a timeout on the floor"..."Justin DOELLLLLLLLLLLLLMAN"..."last touched by xxxx, Xavier to inbound"....and then we talked Xavier hoops and past games for 2 hours.
After this may years of hearing him, I find myself actually saying the exact same things when I announce my kids tournament games at their school....and I don't try to...it's just ingrained in my brain from going to so many games.

The man is a Xavier legend. I love the calls. It wouldn't be the Muskies without him. A Xavier Institution.

Snipe hit it on the head...I can't imagine going to a game and not hearing that voice. Sato, Sato for 3.

Herb is great.
When you put together his years on the mic, and that entire game crew --- Jerry Gels on the clock, Tom (51 seasons and counting as the official scorer) Grogan, and my classmate Dan Hogan on the scoreboard --- and throw in SID Tom Eiser, we have a great team with easily 200 years of experience.
No Butler Buffoonery in the Tas or the Gardens.It's a still great day to be a Muskie, but a sad day to be a supporting member of this board.
