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.

You GOT TO LIKE THE WAY Jim annunciates his words.

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.

Basketball and football were too fast paced for Eliis. He's as good as there is at baseball, but was out of his element in the other two.
Not only did Mississippi State embarrass LSU on this night. Davis Wade Stadium wrecked Tiger Stadium in music choice, atmosphere and, most of all, volume.
When I'm 80 and deaf, it's not going to be all those Springsteen concerts or Queen at Municipal Auditorium in New Orleans on Halloween Night in 1978, it will be this game...............Glen Guilbeau--Sherveport Times

And while we are on this topic, do we still REALLY NEED ol' John on the sideline???
"John, what do you see down there?"
"Jim, I think he's close to a first down."
"Thanks John".
I mean seriously. Let's get a younger former player for this gig.

We could always have a guy, dressed in the Captain Obvious costume, on the sideline doing the same.
He'd also be really easy for the guys in the booth, as well as us in the stands, to spot.

I'd vote for a former soccer, softball, or volleyball player.
Need to diversify...if you know what I mean...

"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.

No he wouldn't, he is a Confederate.

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.

This for sure.
