I was hoping that I can, uh, I can finish on a high note when I made my announcement in October, I said that, uh, uh, you know, I, I wanted to, uh, I wanted to go out while I still had my skills. And the last game I called, which was over a Wake Forest, uh I thought was one of my best games of the year and it was a terrific game. And the, and the, and the more terrific the games are the better the announcer ends up being when you got a stinker. Like, uh, well, that bowl game, uh, uh, down there in the Charlotte in the 2022 nobody's making a first down, nobody's doing anything. I mean, you're trying to hold an audience and it, it's, it's a lot tougher, but when the games get better, when the games get good, you get better, it seems. But the key is to be able to do a good job when the game is not good. And, uh, I've always tried to do that too and tried to, to stick with the facts and try to paint a picture for the audience that, uh if they could just close their eyes, they'd have some idea of what was going on. And, uh, that's tough to do on radio and a lot of people can't do it. I think one of my favorite football players was a guy who played in the early nineties and he played quarterback and then he, a wide receiver, his name was Charles Davenport and he was a cool guy to be around and when you interviewed him, you, you got it right from the heart. I mean, he, uh, he was, he didn't, he just cut loose and he was very good and very jovial. He was a people person and I really liked him. Uh, I really like Tory Holt. Tory Holt was another guy that was sort of like Charles Davenport. Uh, you could, uh, he, he was the first guy there. He was the last one to leave the, the, the practice. He was, uh, uh, he was just a, a great guy, friendly, um, uh, outgoing, uh, I'd have to say I like, uh, I like Tory Hold a lot and, um, so those are, those are two right there and I'm trying to think of some of the others. Um, uh, the, uh, d'antonio Burnett is another one, a linebacker is the strength coach now for NC state football, I always liked him. He was sort of the same way. He, uh, uh, was, he would just, he just told you the way it was, and he was very friendly and outgoing and, uh, uh, I, I always liked him. Um, I guess those are three football players. I'm probably leaving some out because there's been a lot of nice guys that have played football at NC State who've been very, uh, cooper and very, uh, friendly and outgoing and, uh, uh, weren't scared of the, of the media and knew that, uh, at least I was there not to, uh, not to kick him in the butt, but to, uh, usually give the, uh, positive spin on things because these guys don't try to fail, they don't try to fumble the football, they don't try to throw an interception, they're trying their best and a lot of fans I think, uh, lose sight of that. Uh, basketball wise. Uh, let's see, basketball wise. Well, there have been so many players, oh, man, um Todd Fuller would be one played in the mid nineties for, uh, um, the pack and the thing about Todd was, he was really intelligent, a good basketball player, but he was a perfect student. Never got to be, it was absolutely incredible with the time limits that they're put on these, these guys, but he was just, he was just brilliant and I admired him a lot. I, uh, I liked, uh Todd Fuller, uh, when I first got here, of course, there was Chris Corian and uh Rodney Monroe, uh Rodney Monroe is a little more reserved. Chris Corian, he was a little more outgoing but I certainly like them. Tom Gugliotta was another, uh, basketball player that was sort of reserved but as I was there longer and he got better, uh, we hit it off really good and, uh, II I enjoyed, uh, him and, uh, so we had cable TV. And because of that, I was able to get the AC C game of the week starting in like 1963 with Billy Packer and Jim Thacker and B or Bones mckinney, I'm sorry, Bones mckinney. And, uh, and, uh, Mr Thacker doing the, uh, doing the, the play by play. And so I started watching that and, uh, uh, immediately I was hooked, I really thought this was, this was exciting stuff and I like to play basketball. And so, uh, I got a taste of what the AC C was even before, uh, you know, I had any inkling that I'd ever be a part of it. And so, uh, you're right there, there's been a golden age and I think what, what started the process and maybe getting away from that was, uh, you know, conference expansion and conference realignment because when there was just, uh, what eight or nine teams, everybody played everybody twice. Uh, you knew you were gonna have tough games at certain places. Uh, you knew that, uh, you know, you were gonna have to have a decent nonconference schedule, but even if you didn't have one of those, you could make it up and uh by playing AC C basketball and it used to be that if you had a, uh even record in the AC C, you had a good chance of making the AC C tournament. So, uh you know, all that's different now. Uh It's, uh it's all of the analytics and it's all of this and, and, and, you know, you got Joe Lunardi, uh starting in January as to who's gonna make the AC C tournament to try and pump up interest in this whole thing. And, um, uh, it's, uh, to me it, it, I mean, it, you can't get away from change. I mean, it's gonna happen but I think the changes now, uh, that are happening in college athletics. I don't know how they're gonna come out but, um, I'm not, uh, I'm not in favor, uh, we'll, uh, put it of, uh, of, of quite a few of them and I'll just leave it at that. Uh, well, they, they, if you go to in the state of Kentucky, uh, there's a lot of Kentucky fans and there's a lot of Louisville fans and, uh, it matters there too if you go to Ohio. Uh, Ohio State, Michigan is a big deal. Uh, you know, and, uh, the, the rivalries they have there in the big 10. So I had a pretty good idea about what a rivalry was when, uh, when I came here. And, um, I was just looking forward to AC C basketball because everywhere else I've been, every, everybody, uh, knew AC C basketball was at a very high level and even at Louisville, uh, the fans would, um, I don't know the right term to use. It's, uh, they didn't, I, I won't, I won't say envy but they knew that the AC C was up there and maybe the metro conference wasn't quite as high. And so if they played an AC C team and they were able to beat them, it was a big deal. I was trying to do is make some irreverent humor. But that's about all I'm gonna, I'm gonna say about it because I've been told not to, uh to comment on it, but I did learn one thing because, uh I just, uh, I can remember going back in the, uh, in the car, we're all going back from the game. Everybody's deadly quiet in their car. Nobody wants to say anything but my phone's blowing up with all this stuff. And, uh I just said, guys, you can, you can talk because I've made a decision. I'm gonna let Jesus Christ fight my battle for me and whatever the outcome is, that's, that's gonna be his will. And I'm cool with that. And I found out the next couple of days or weeks that 90% of the people out there love me. And 10% hate my guts. Well, the 10% called me every name in the book and the 90% love me. And so, uh I think that was, uh, that was the biggest thing I learned from that because I never knew how people felt about me. I mean, I knew that, uh they, they must have accepted me because I'm still there for, you know, 33 at that 0.33 years. So I must be doing something right where they're cool with my performance, but I never really thought of how they felt about me as a, as a person and then how I represented the university and all of that. And that's what I found out. So it, it turned out that, um, something that most people would think would be a, a terrible embarrassing moment actually, to me turned out to be a blessing.
