We need a new PA announcer

[GreenN'walinsVet]

Im sick of tired of hearing "correction" on 2/3rd of the PA calls.  Not to mention the mis-pronounced names, wrong yard line, etc...

Icing on the cake for me was last night during the Pre-Game.  Its senior night and Jeff Wilson is one of our best players to wear the  uniform and he is welcomed to the field for Senior night with the name Jeffery Thompson!   WTF?????

I've said this numerous times before, but Robb Coffey should be our PA man for football and mens basketball.

[James]

Could not agree more. Need more excitement as well.

I tend to hold my tongue...but DAMN! Last night's PA job was worse than usual. TheWren has got to address this issue.  I know his plate is full for the next couple of months, but I expect him to address it after that, PDQ.

There! I spoke up and I feel better.

THE University of North Texas!  

[JRock]

Can we also address the “and that’s good for another...Mean Green First Down”? That needs to be the band only signally a chant. 

I feel like a contestant on a game show or I’m being sold a used car.

Yes...and No. I want some excitement, not a news reader. At the same time, I don't want an "entertainer" that tries to fill every moment with his voice. Part of the game is talking football with one's neighbor without having to shout over the PA announcer.

[Ben Gooding]

Yeah, all the announcements over the PA is about as annoying as it gets. And his talking about say the 3 seniors that were being honored in the 3rd or 4th quarter for winning percentage or something, dude went on and on and on and on. Just get the gist of whatever crap you're jumbling off so I don't have to hear your voice anymore.

It's weird not having football to complain about isn't it? :)

could not agree more, Crouch needs to go. Tired of the mispronunciations and player misidentifications.

Beats "its another swell first down" that SMUT has.

[Tyler Maryak]

I also liked when they asked for all vets or currently enlisted folks to stand and be recognized. No love for someone currently commissioned, I guess...haha

[NT91]

George D. would be good. Jub

[Ryan Munthe]

We need Coffey to be our PA! So much better than Crouch it’s not even funny.

You've said it at least as much as I have.

And how in hell do you get Jeffrey Wilson's name wrong during senior introductions?

But can he make it to the games? Right @AustinFromUNT

Although there is ZERO excuse to get one of our players' names wrong.  I think a more pressing need is the in- game presentation.  Instead of bringing people onto the field, then having tem walk off, have a camera on them in the open area of the stadium near the wing.  Fix the speakers on the PA so it doesn't sound like its only coming from one end of the stadium.  Mix the music up a little.  Have coordinated chants for the entire stadium that do not require to have everything stopped down and explained.  Have some excitement and pageantry from the band during pregame.  Have the band wear their damn uniforms.  Run the Battle Flag on the field.  Little things like that can make a huge difference.

 

Can you imagine some of our fans' heads exploding if Jub Jub was the PA Announcer?  He could do it.  He used to do it for the Cowboys.

Have you contacted anyone with these suggestions?

“Good for another Mean Green touchdown“ instead of “first down” was the worst. Anybody else hear that?
