Possibly an unpopular opinion

In general, MSU is too nice sometimes. I do not know why. Jack Cristal was probably the most pro-MSU. They all are pro-MSU but Jack just didn't seem to give as much of a damn about being unbiased as the other guys.

Now, yes, I don't think anyone wants a David Kellum that goes crazy on a two yard gain up the middle like it's an miracle 90 yard touchdown run but I definitely believe that there is a middle ground.

Agreed. But I want state announcers to be homers...especially on radio. That's why I loved jack. And occasionally Jim allows his excitement to show...IMO that's when he's at his best.

I also like it when MLB guys are homers, as long as it's the regional broadcasts and not on the national stage.

Exactly. Jack was perfect. I loved to hear stories about how he would yell at the basketball refs and I always liked it when he criticized the team like with the Sonic Drive of the Game to Tupelo because you knew that he cared about MSU and MSU doing well just as much as me. It's like our other announcers are worried about making the other teams fans upset. Like we should care about that.
