There needs to a rule against all these “growling” PA announcers.
- Thread starter RawMeat_III
- Start date
How about the Harrisonville guy that sounds like he smokes 14 cartons per game?
"All over him like a bum on a bologna sandwich!"
It has been a while and maybe a different guy but I liked the uniqueness of the Harrisonville announcer. Like a cross between an auctioneer and horse race broadcaster.
And here we go..,
Would like to know if the Harrisonville PA guy is the same guy who was there in 2002 … I was covering a Seneca at Harrisonville playoff game (first round) and this guy was literally doing play by play on the PA like a radio guy should. Before the game started he told me how good he was at doing PA that Central Missouri was getting ready to hire him to do the Mules football games.
Highlight of that night was during his pregame storytelling, he asked me if the Seneca running back was any good because he had been told that he was good but was slow.
Harrisonville kicks off, Seneca starts its first drive on around its own 35 … first play a simple lead iso left, Scott Elbert takes the handoff starts left and then a cutback seam opens to the right, Elbert hits the seam and goes untouched 60+ yards for the touchdown. The PA guy turns quickly looks at me and says “I think I was told wrong …”

Aaaand the tackle made by BRAAAAADY JOHNNNNSON....................grrrrrr.
“Here’s the deal…”.
Wildcats break the huddle and come to the line for a 3rd down play with 1 yard to go from their own 48 yard line. Double tight formation. Jackson is tucked up behind center with Shepard and Smith set as split backs behind him…
….and here we Go!

And wasn't the player hurt on that play? Woof! I kid, kid @Eagles_Ball
Several years ago Thayer had a PA announcer that would yell out things in the middle of a play.
FUMMMMBBBBLLLLEEEEEE!
FUMMMMBBBBLLLLEEEEEE!
He was.
I actually saved that video clip, but being a bonafide technoignoramus, I can’t figure out how to post it here.
Don’t attempt to walk me through it, any attempts will be futile.
What about growling PA posters like Bosko? 🤣
BRUH BRUH BRUH BRUH BRUH BRUH....................c'mon Kurt Warners Blind Son join in and say hello been a minute!
Excuse me? Do you know how to READ!? This thread is about PA ANNOUNCERS!! You know, PUBLIC ADDRESS!!! NOT Pennsylvania!!! Also, have you seen MY doc?? I do NOT growl!!! NICE TRY BOZO!!!
@Eagles_Ball !!
Just please don't start doing this...................
Years ago, the announcer at Norborne, home then of the Pirates, announced that a visitor was tackled by a "Shipload of Pirates." but many in the crowd heard something different.

Just give me one that will give me the ball carrier and who got the tackle instead of thinking they are there to do play by play commentary.
The golden rule to PA … less is more.
Keep it short, simple. No one comes to the game to listen to the PA, they are there to watch their kids play.

Run by XXXX, he was tackled by XXX... (Down) and (Distance) from the (XX) yardline... microphone off.
Oh come on you bozos and nincompoops! You sound like fans who are just there to watch the band! YES, the PA announcer's job is let you know who made the tackle, who got tackled, and the down/distance to go. But the other part of the PA announcer's job is to ENTERTAIN!!! Fans want an EXPERIENCE! You need some funny one liners, catch phrases, you know? Stuff that gets people laughing and having a good time!
Have you seen halftime shows these days, Bosko? The era of bands just playing songs finishing with the school fight one are OVER so yeah I bet some folks do go just to watch the band...................
Bands should be banned from performing at football halftimes. They should be forced to play at volleyball games that way both things that no one cares about can be put together.
Yes, I have seen halftime shows these days! My point STILL stands!!
Can't believe that Bosko didn't make a comment that they should play at 8-man football games to enhance the napping experience.
I can remember being at Concordia games in the early 80s and the halftime band, plus the parties in the north end zone on the street on a flatbed, having the reason to go to the games.
