PA Guy - Herb Bauer

[Masterofreality]

Herb is great.

When you put together his years on the mic, and that entire game crew --- Jerry Gels on the clock, Tom (51 seasons and counting as the official scorer) Grogan, and my classmate Dan Hogan on the scoreboard --- and throw in SID Tom Eiser, we have a great team with easily 200 years of experience.

No Butler Buffoonery in the Tas or the Gardens.

Correct, Emp, in all respects. No Tomfoolery or Hijinks either.

Musketeer Madness had a nice article a couple years back that discusses the 3 point field goal call: http://musketeermadness.com/article.asp?ID=1565

I hope he stays another 20 years. Coaches and players come and go, but his calls tie a lot of different eras of Xavier basketball together.

This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

This thread is making me think of some of my favorite PA lines and how he says some of the players' names. The # 1 for me will always be, "Daaaarrneellllllll Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllllllllllliams," when the starting lineup was announced.

This exactly! I have been hoping for another Williams on the roster for a long time for this reason

I'll keep the knob-slobbing going by saying that I know Herb, he's a great guy, he does an excellent job, and it wouldn't be the same without him. Having said that, I'd trade him in a cocaine heartbeat for this guy...

Mods please feel free to change this thread title to include Herb's name, if only as a sign of respect.

Herb Bauer is a great American and as much a part of the soundtrack of my life as anyone.

I have been attending Xavier games with my father for the past 28 years and I think Herb has been there ever since.

3 point field goal.....

For those who attended the Butler game last Wed do any of you recall Herb announcing and alluding to Thad Matta's children attending Xavier University?

I heard it on the Tv broadcast. Just WOW. His kids could have gone for free to OSU, I'm thinking.

MOR obviously missed the Admissions Committee meeting where that slipped through.
