Good Riddance.

Not really sure how Clark Kellogg is any better, as I have listened to him frequently on Pacers broadcasts, but whatever. I just don't see why they can't just pay someone decent to do the broadcast.

Damn.....someone scooped me on it. What a great way to start the week, Pelfrey wins his 6th in a row for the Mets, and now this!!

Throughout Mid-Major Land, I propose a toast to toast!

I don't mind BP being fired, but I hope it wasn't because of the Kansas/NC remark.
Very hard to beleive someone like Billy, with all his biases. could broadcast 34 consective final fours.

Hit the road Billy and don't let your ACC bias hit you in the rear end!!

I think this is the first thread in the history of VT that we all agree. Good riddance Billy!

He ruined his reputation with Sycamore fans during the Sycamores run in 1979. Larry Bird snubbed him when he came to Terre Haute for the first nationally televised game with the Shockers towards the end of that season. Al McGuire was Terre Haute's media darling and Packer was #&?&%$.

Gotta admit that call sure made him look like an idiot:
