He comes across as a super nice guy, no doubt. I've only listened to him a few times and you never knew the result of a play. He tells you someone caught a pass, but you have no idea if it was a first down etc. There was always a long delay before he told you the situation. Really weird.

Mick had some good radio calls but over the years he just seems kinda boring. Hoping they go after App States old radio Announcer that does spots in games sometimes. David Jackson has some serious passion. 

I was about to post this. David Jackson would be a fantastic replacement and bring some excitement to the radio broadcasts.

They interview Mick on 2 Guys Named Chris occasionally.  He's much better in that format than play by play, very witty and quick on his feet.

Yeah he'd be great.  Good radio voice and sense of dynamics.

As great as that call was, the Miracle on the Mountain against Furman in 2002 is better imo. I was at that particular game, so I might be biased. Give that one a listen if you can find it

Mixon gets a lot of undeserved crap on here.

This place is good for that.  Everything I read about Mixon says he is a really good guy and that he is very, very smart. Maybe that is his problem...he is too smart and he occasionally says things that sound good or clever to him, which come naturally to him, but it just does not connect.  That stuff is all you hear. He also had the misfortune of following someone the fans loved. He could not overcome that with a lot of people here.

I like dry whit as much as the next person, but no, most of his jokes do not connect.  Believe me, I am the king of dry humor so the jokes are not lost on me, they are just not funny.

Also, his tangent stories were annoying as well.  Everyone can get caught up in telling a story, but Mixon just rambled on and on at times.

that game is on Youtube, or at least it was.  Amazing ending.

 

Mick is going to be spending more time with his band.

It's name is "Break Wind and Fire."

lol

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking

      I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
