in radio that is.

I've only heard a few schools p-by-p guys, and South is my favorite. But maybe that is my bias because I grew up listening to him.

Are there any other favorites out there?

"2nd and 10, mcgee with the snap he's gonna delay handoff to goodson, goodson with a juke move, spins off another tackler, stiff arms and guy and finally gets brought down.... for a 1 yard gain" ...

Gotta love Dave South

Wheelsoff,

He does that on every call. No excitement until the guy crosses the goal line.

Nice troll.

There are 117 better announcers in division 1 football.

Dave's been around for 20 years or so now, but I never have cared for him. Personal preference I guess, but he doesn't do much for me. However, since no station in the Wichita Falls area carries the Ags, we bought Sirius, and we get a ton of college games with everyone's play-by-play. It's pretty eye-opening when you hear some of the SEC broadcasters.

What??? I was being serious. I love Dave South's calls.

I'm really surprised about the lack of love. I guess you guys haven't heard the bad ones.

I listened to the UT radio dudes a few weeks ago, and wasn't all that impressed.

Why the hate?

Trust me I know how to troll, and this isn't a troll.

Dave, if you are out there, count me as one of your fans.

And to answer the OP, there are many better play-by-play guys, but I can promise you that the two WORST announcers in the whole country are OU (Bob Berry) and OSU (Dave Hunsacker). THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT 100 TIMES WORSE THAN DAVE SOUTH.

I'm off my soap box now. Please pass the maroon kool-aid.

aggiehubby, how are the SEC announcers different?

I really don't like the over the top homers who scream and rant and slobber. If that is what Dave South is guilty of not doing, then that is not his problem.

Mikewaters,

Either you don't read Texags much or you went for too much with your troll.

I have to agree with the AggieHubby guy. I live up here in the WF area as well and you can get the ou, osu, baylor, techtards and tu radio broadcast but no A&M drives me crazy. THe osu guy is annoying as crap. "guns a firring for a cowboy touchdown' or some such nonsense like that.

TexAg115, I'm new to texags in the last couple of months. I saw the thread about Elmendorf today, that's why I commented.

I've never seen a thread about Dave South before.

I guess I need to broaden my horizons and listen to other play by play guys. Maybe it is because the other one I have listened to for another school is gawd-awful poke-your-eyes-out want to kill someone awful.

Well, to some extent, every guy that broadcasts college football on that school's network is a homer. It's the nature of the game, and I don't have a problem with it.

My point with the SEC is that some of those guys have been around forever and do a pretty good job. Eli Gold at 'Bama has been there forever, but he's also a NASCAR guy on the radio side of the races. I don't care if Dave's a homer, because A&M is signing the checks. Dave has done alot for A&M over the years, I don't have anything personal against the man, but I don't care for his style that much.

If you want to get some kind of idea about Dave South, you just need to listen to some of the other guys out there. In my part of the world, you'll hear a ton of OU stuff, and you'll be ready to slit your wrists and bleed in a cup after 15 minutes of Bob Berry.

And lennonjunior, get a Sirius radio. We have one in each vehicle plus a portable stiletto for my wife. My son plays in the Top of Texas football league, and we get stuck at Saturday little league games when the Aggies play. It's the best money you'll ever spend.

There are so many college football announcers so much worse than Dave South it really is sad when texags dumps on this guy.

Maybe listening to these guys when you are a kid is like imprinting. You are forever destined to associate that voice with certain memories.

Growing up, the only time I got to go games was with the $3 Dairy Queen tickets. We were too poor to afford any other tickets. Me and my two brothers would sit in the endzone. We would get there early to try and get the very best seats (or what I thought were the best seats).

But when the games weren't on TV, or when there weren't DQ tickets (accounts for most games), it was the radio and Dave South.

Frankly, I am finding the hate for him to be in the category of cognitive dissonance. Not all what I was expecting.

At least he doesn't say pistols firing or touchdown, touchdown Colorado every time.
