[QUOTE="Fairlawncat, post: 132023260, member: 1607176"] Thought I would drop al line on you Hillbilly's. A close Hokie fan of mine from a nearby county, down here on the WV/VA border was talking about the best radio-announcer, play by play guys to ever do it at the college and pro level. Well, we both came to the same conclusion. Jack Fleming was the best to ever do it, period. I've heard a many of them, and this discussion came up because our longtime radio guy in Blacksburg, Bill Roth, is returning to VT after a 7 year absence. Roth is good imo, but he's no Fleming. Fleming was a special one of a kind talent, and I'm from a border county, went to VT, but raised a WVU fan, so I'm not your usual die hard one way or the other. Like many of us down here in the border counties near Bluefield, we often either root for both schools, or don't hate the other school. Best wishes on the season. Just wanted to drop a line on Fleming since he came up under discussion today. One hell of a man and radio voice. P.S. When you WVU fans get down to Myrtle, go to Surfside Beach, SC, which is also known as little West Virginia. They actually have a WV bar/grill/sportsbar that isn't just WV owned, it's WV everything inside and out, and at any given time, it seems like at least 1 out of 2 people in this place are from WV or WVU fans. We have a place a condo in Surfside and the WV Bar (Sundown Restaurant and Sports Pub) is my hangout (except when VT plays WVU-they kick me out for that day). [/QUOTE]
