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

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
