THE YEAR he leaves...we make a Final 4 run. I doubt it makes him regret his decision, but I'm sure this has been bittersweet for him. He would've created some gems!!
Amidst the euphoria, a lump of sadness that Andy Demetra isn't calling these games
- Thread starter garnet fire
- Start date
I'm sure he's happy calling the NIT final for Ga Tech. I think Derek Scott has done a great job.
It was HIM that was holding us back all this time!! (LOL)
Well lets not forget Mike Morgan....if we are gonna bring out the past.
Always regretted his departure. He was a Demetra whose voice had changed.
Andy was basketball voice for only about 6 years. I never cared to hear that nasally voice of his and I remember early on he called us The Orange (Syracuse) a couple times.
Bob Fulton is the true voice of Gamecock athletics and Mike Morgan will always be #2. Andy will just be another Charlie Mac .A guy who was here to do a job with no real passion for Carolina.
All those Syracuse guys are just robotic clones. A very generic broadcasting sound

Bob Fulton is the Voice of the Gamecocks and always will be, I can hear a tape him calling a game now and I get chills and I am instantly transported back to my youth. I remember walking through my childhood home on Saturday afternoons and having a radio in every room tuned in to Gamecock football and Bob Fulton. You really don't understand how much you miss him until someone replays a tape of him calling a game.

When he would call into the Athletic Ticket Office, he would introduce himself over the phone. As if any of us wouldn't recognize his voice.
I liked when "Sindarious elevated, detonated, and left little bits of orange all over the floor."
I haven't listened to a football or basketball game on the radio in 20 years. Besides my car, the only radio I have is my alarm clock. Y'all do know almost all of them are on TV, right? I do listen to some baseball on the radio, but that's it. I'll never be attached to a radio guy again the way I was to Bob Fulton. He was my only link to Carolina sports when I was a kid. Those days are long gone.
Wait a second...these games are on TV? Kidding. Baseball is the only sport I listen to live, unless in the car. But, it's always a pleasure to go back and listen to the top calls.
Thornwell "detonating" bits of orange
"Kiss the ring" against Vandy
Etc.

"Line drive. Right field. And it drops. Coming home is Wingo. He touches home. The game is over. The game is over. The WAIT is over."
(Yes I typed that from memory.)

I was thinking about Demetra the other day. Haven't listed to his pbp for Tech, but ought to check it out. Thanks for starting the thread, garnet fire.
Demetra is getting to do football now, and I heard that's what he really wanted, so good for him. I actually listen to a lot of sports on radio so I can multi-task and get things done. Derek Scott does a good job - he's pretty calm. Different style than Demetra. Morgan was really good, too. The guy that does women's hoops is good, too. I've heard him fill in on baseball from time to time. He's not bad there either. ... and yes, Fulton was The Man!
