RIP Steve
We all know Willie still makes cross sports references. Lets have some fun. Post what you hear and the time to establish winners.
I know Willie said something about a court very early on.Oh well, I'll try again a few hours before the next away game. Mase had a ski ramp late followed by a mitt by W a minute later. Probably something earlier while I was distracted with dinner.
You guys don't mute Willie?
Oh I think everyone thought Stu was the bigger of the two problems. Willie does the job, but a legend of sports casting he will never be.Willie has gotten much better. It's helped tremendously getting rid of Stu but it seems like Willie has a coach or something and reviewed tape during the off season.

Agreed.Oh I think everyone thought Stu was the bigger of the two problems. Willie does the job, but a legend of sports casting he will never be.
I think that has gotten better though. That's why I said I think he's been listening to tape and had so coaching/critiquing that he's taken to heart.Willie is okay, he just has a really brutal and seemingly artificial way of showing excitement
Totally agree. I like that he's home grown.Agreed.

this fact should not be overlooked. the guy tries.Totally agree. I like that he's home grown.

no harm. i don't think anyone had an issue. i just have a soft spot for the guys that have been through the downs w/ us.
I'm not saying be Pete Weber, I just hear announcers across the league and feel there's a significant drop when you compare Willy to them. He isn't a broadcaster, he's a radio host. But whatever, he's better than what I could do.Willie has been learning and experience will make him even better. Not everyone can be Pete Weber, especially not right off the bat. I suspect even Petey had a learning curve.
I'm at home games and typically watch road games out at a bar or something (recently anyway) so even if I hear "audio of the game", I can't understand much of what Willy actually says. However even though I've been pretty harsh on him I'll admit that I'm sure he really does try and work at it to be as good as he can. I feel like it's just a skill that some people naturally have, and if he's not one of them at least he's trying.I let this drop because the last few games I have not noticed ANY cross sports references. I may have missed some but nothing as frequent as it has been. Remarkable. Well done Willie, did not know it was possible since that seemed ingrained.

YES SIR!Willie is okay, he just has a really brutal and seemingly artificial way of showing excitement
