moytoy12 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Is there no dedicated student section? Not able to watch consistently, but looks like they reconfigured the stands such that the student section isn’t in its normal configuration. If so, that’s dumb.

FromDaEastSide Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Did anyone else see Gus jump up and leave before the end of the event? It’s not like he has morning radio show to wake up for anymore. Clueless and Classless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiken_roy Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 seeing the team live cements for me this is going to be a very good team. this is exciting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBFan Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Thanks to all that attended and post their thoughts. My wife had to work on Saturday otherwise we would have been there. Thanks to all that put up the links that allowed me to stream the event. The best parts were seeing Welmer running again, seeing the whole team and that Andre is back again as the MC. I agree that Andre would have been a better choice to announce than guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiken_roy Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 gus is so bad that at some point the money shouldnt matter. he takes absolutely no pride in his work proof of that is not knowing who the players were last night. just sad to have such a hack as our PA guy. on a more positive note, fred Shaft thatch is the real deal. i assumed he was a player, but he is a ready to go player imo. biggest positive takeaway of the night imo.

Spoon-Balls Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I don’t know why Guy Philips hasn’t been canned yet. He’s so bad at his job and it would be so easy to find someone with a little more charisma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billfan7 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Gus treats this job like he is doing a favor for his friend's 6th grade CYC team. He acts like he is above doing it. No preparation or knowledge of the team - just wings it every night. They should find someone who is hungry and looking to make a career out of it.

Had the right amount of irreverence. Is this tongue in cheek? Yesterday was so embarrassing and I have never railed on the guy before. He is literally cracking jokes at the PLAYERS instead of hyping the crowd. He missed several names. He made the event about him instead of the guys. His whole tone is depressing. He may be mediocre announcing games when you just need to say a name (though he has about a 10% error rate), but yesterday was not something he should have been doing. I can honestly say that I have never heard a worse PA announcer at any sporting event than what I witnessed last night.
