Thomas Bilde appreciation thread
« on: August 19, 2015, 07:03:51 PM »
On his twitter he just thanked Marquette and Wojo for the time, seems like he enjoyed this trip as much as we enjoyed him. Feel free to post your favorite Blide moment here. Here's hoping Marquette or FS1 hires him. Why knows maybe we can get him to become a scooper.

With that just wanted to throw out a thank you to the awesome production team for a high quality stream with the only dropped stream being due to weather. Great job everyone.

Where did the connection with Thomas even come from?

And is there any reason to believe he would actually want to move to Milwaukee, WI to call basketball games for a living?  That's a big move for someone, especially if they have a family.

But he was awesome.

He was likely hired by the company that set up the travel arrangements.  He probably does it every summer for a different school.

Didn't he say today that these games were the first he has done in English?

At a minimum, if he's not a big head in the student section it will be a HUGE let down and confirmation that the current students are not as cool as the alum.  Which current student Scooper is going to make this happen?

"I don't even know who I would give the MVP to." -Thomas
"YOU!" -Broeker

Hear, hear!





Best line: "OOOOOOUUU!"

Crazy that he hadn't announced a game in English before this.

Hope we can push Fox into keeping their announcers home for a game or two during the season and let Thomas take the call.

Best part about Bilde? His Beowulfian need to give every player an epithet, or kenning, if you will.  Just like Grendel was "the midnight walker," "woodland walker," or "the bone crusher," Bilde's internal Danish lyricism compels him to adorn the players with something more than just their name:  HE isn't just "the train," he's "the Wisconsin kid."  Bilde was digging deep on this tour.

"Beowulfian" just may be my new favorite adjective.

Help me out .. I silently watched a few minutes of the games while at work.

I assume this Bilde guy was doing play by play.  Obviously made an impact.  Why was he awesome?

Because he was a foreigner? No idea why everyone raved about his PBP.

Mostly because he never had to use "no-footer" to describe a shot.

But most importantly, he didn't have to say "missed the no footer."

This team's ability to finish at the rim is pretty impressive.  The Engine, Duane, Henry, and Luke don't miss a whole lot around the bucket, regardless of how well it's defended.  Even Sandy finishes well at the rim.

1. Completely over-enthusiastic for meaningless games

2. Better than Homer.

First I must say that I'm a HUGE homer fan and I appreciate everything he does as part of the Marquette community. 

Marquette basketball has somehow always managed to have something "quirky" about it.  From Al's wit to Rick's intensity to Dukiet's piano to Deane's scotch to Tommy's tan to Bert's  dysfunction and this includes Homer's witticissm's which were poorly preceded by George's "big word of the day".

Bilde has the quirkiness we seem to love, just like Homer does, but in an almost opposite way.  I know Homer reads this board and I hope he's not upset by the pro-Thomas threads...What we really enjoy is unique, different, and even strange comments and input from our program.  Thomas provided that very well during our boring summer interlude.  Thank you Thomas - and looking forward to a season with Homer.  The only thing better would be the two, side by side!
