New Stadium Announcer

While I am critical of ol' Reece, I wanted to offer a compliment to the new stadium announcer at the War. He does a nice job.

My favorite Jack Nokes moment was when we were playing New Mexico (I think) during the Vic years. We lined up for a PAT and the kicker smoked the ball right into the center's butt. Unbeknownst to him, Jack's mike was hot...and after the play, he disgustedly offered the words: "oh Jesus Christ" into the open air of the War. He said what we were all thinking. Hilarious.
 
Ahhhhh, he sucks!!!

The mistakes are endless. He is clearly not a in-stadium kind of announcer...likely thrown to the wolves by UW, poor bastard.

It would be better to have silence.

I'd just like the sound system to work coherently for a game. I'd actually like to be able to hear the call on the field.

The sound at the War has never been great, even with the $1,000,000 upgrade! The last home game about killed me with the PA feedback from the ref microphone. LOL
 
I think the new PA announcer has been a major upgrade. The only issues I have is that I think they should up the volume on his microphone a bit, and yes, the static or the nails on a chalkboard sound when the officials try to talk into the mic for penalty calls is spine tingling and not in a good way.
 
If its the same one that does bball he is too much Mr. Rogers(esk) for me...but i lived with Jack Nokes for almost 40 years as well
