Thank goodness...I've grown tired of his football broadcasts. I know he is beloved in baseball but his annunciations of words makes me crazy! Of course this probably means Anthony Cravens for football which is not awesome.
Will Bart take over?
Prolly for the best. You will find no bigger Jim Ellis fan than myself...but his style didn't fit as well in those two sports. But he is more miss state baseball than anyone, including ron Polk.
"Thanks to Ron Polk for his ringing endorsement of, "he'll do", in 1979 after hearing my broadcast of high school sports".
Said Learfield will conduct a nationwide search. I'm good with that because I haven't heard anyone on any of our broadcast that I'd prefer.
Mullen to the booth.**
The MSU fan base is spoiled rotten when it comes to broadcasters who call our games. When you had Jack Cristil who many thought, including myself, was irreplaceable, Jim Ellis did a fine job in the grand scheme of things. Glad he'll still be calling baseball. Jack and Jim both had/have distinct voices. I hope the next gamecaller has this trait as well. They will no doubt have some big shoes to fill.
I heard Kellum is looking for a football program***************
It'll be weird when Ellis leaves baseball one day. Something about his voice with baseball sticks with me even more than Jack's with football.
We still eat our own! Never understand folks who bitch over loyalty to Msu. He was way more good than bad.
Jim Ellis call of Burke Masters HR was about as great as it gets, I'd vote it number 1 all time for Msu sports (yes even over any Jack call).
Jason Crowder for basketball
Aren't Brent Musberger and Vern Lundquist available?
Jim is the best when it comes to college baseball. I have heard a number of school's broadcast.
I have also heard a number of school's football broadcast........State's broadcast is very poor. Not all that is Jim, some is the production and quality. State needs an improved broadcast for football for sure.
With that said, I don't know how much of a priority it is for State to have a top flight radio broadcast. We (and OM) allow Bama to out bid us for the most the powerful station in NE MS.
