I've never been a huge fan but he was uniquely Penn State IMHO. I am not sure how to feel about this.

Incident Definition when it comes to CG:

Invented and made up so I can maybe try again with my Sara Ganim attempt at my 15 minutes of fame.

I am unaware of any "incident".

Im sure something happened. You dont just fire a PA announcer for no reason.

Cory Geiger is a living human piece of shit. I hate his Jim Rome Light Schtick and would love to bump into him some time.

IMHO, he's got what a lot of sports talkers have and that is that they talk about stuff so much they end up thinking they are smarter than everyone else: athletes and customers together. First, don't ever talk down to your customer, which they do ALL the time. Second, we can second guess athletes all the time but don't forget they are in the arena while we are watching on out TVs while eating a grilled cheese sandwich and Campbells Tomato Soup.

Indeed. Teddy Roosevelt said it best:

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Yep. I never liked him, but the more I heard him talk, the more I wanted my right bear paw to say hello to his face. I won’t say anything that I wouldn’t say to that person’s face. People now are too used to talking into a microphone or tweeting, or facebooking without the consequences.

They need to revamp much of the in game experience. Kill the lion king. Get a new playlist. Etc

oh lord am I dumb. that never even donned on me.

Isn't Guido back? I wonder if he is being consulted on selecting an announcer and revamping some of the atmosphere (sound/music selections) for the Beav?

Like him or hate him, at least Guido brought something new and increased the amps at games. It seems since he left that any originality pretty much disappeared and they’ve just run the same stuff into the ground, (lion king, sweet Caroline, etc).

Could they replace the hideous sound system too

Ole Miss band sounds great there…

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Why'd he get canned?

 

[rll1957]

Honestly I found the whole sound system abysmal I tuned it out

 

[rll1957]

We’re spending 750 million to upgrade. Spend some of that on Wi-Fi and a workable sound system

 

[Lion84]

dont know what that means, but ok.

sorry - i was being way to obtuse.
