Billiken Rich Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 That's like being glad of a nagging injury or being glad your season tickets are in an area surrounded by mutants or being glad that death will happen to all of us eventually. Guy's wit is bush league. His "celebrity" is also bush league. GIVE THE JOB TO SOMEONE IN THE MASS COMM DEPT WHO CAN PUT TWO WORDS TOGETHER WITHOUT STUTTERING. GET PHILIP HUNT. GET SKIP. We don't need a big name. We need someone who isn't a goof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 We'd be better off without his "wit." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 scoop said about guy phillips, "Be glad we have him." you must be kidding. guy phillips is 1. an egotistical jerk that comes off exactly that way doing the games. 2. totally uneducated about the billikens and it shows 3. totally uneducated about basketball and it shows as to being glad we have him, i would rather have just about anyone do the job over him. i would take a slu communications major. or a retired school teacher. sorry, there is nothing good about guy phillips at the billikens games. i can only assume he has his naked pictures in a safe place somewhere to have lasted as long as he has.

cheeseman Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Since when does the PA person have to be a celebrity - my guess is most people never even know or care who is the PA person is at any sporting event. He really is not very good and is often giving wrong information out about what is going on in the game. Being a comedian is not a requirement for being a good PA announcer.

bonwich Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I'm thinking not, but I don't go to enough games to know. I'm also thinking that Guy keeps his job for the same reason that the Baby Blues are no longer called the Baby Blues. The Athletic Department might actually occasionally survey season ticket holders and other fans to get their input about the Billiken game experience...and the Cubs could win the World Series some day.

Scoop Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Did you just write "busch league" twice? Even though you just threw me an 80mph fastball right over the plate, I'm an optimist and will take this pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 They do indeed identify themselves at the very beginning of announcements. Just once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 We just don't notice because they aren't annoying bush league pinheads........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I could use a beer right now, though not a Busch. I missed the point of your last post. What the heck are you trying to say?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Just like the irony of hearing selected people dog the communication and marketing of the athletic dept. and the practice facilities of west pine along with duel site home games, radio affiliation, attendance, student support and some regional recruiting. However, Guy Phillips is not good enough to call the home games. Laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinfootes Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 Please. It's too bad the Slyman brothers can't fo it...or maybe Becky Queen of Carpets. Guy is well below them in celebrity status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Guy does bush league BS like making fun of names or kids playing at half time. I'd cheer if they gave the job to Phillip Hunt, or anyone else who knows the game, knows the Billiken players, and knows when the heck to shut up. Guy knows none of the above.
