Can someone get the announcer a media guide?

[NavinRJohnson]

He apparently thinks Jimmy Butler's name is Jimmy Butlah.

Our announcer ruins the games for me and my fiancee.  The best part of this season is when he wasn't around for a couple games in a row.

I personally like whenever DJO scores, and the announcer says "Darius. Johnson. Odom." with a dramatic pause after each word.  It has become a habit of mine to exaggerate that pause some.

Someone down there needs to act like they have a pulse, besides R.A. Smith.

[TallTitan34]

Seriously?  The game is ruined for you because the announcer shows excitement?

Personally I like it.

Maybe Jimmy likes it.

[madtownwarrior]

Wow - saying "Jimmy Butlah" with some excitement ruins the game for you - maybe you should stay home and watch TV instead...   folks in our section love it...

[Cooby Snacks]

I find it irritating, particularly when the first and last names are melded into one and a bunch of consonants go missing.

"Jiiiiimmaaaabuhhhhlaaaa!"

[TallTitan34]

I love how throughout the game it progressively gets worse and worse.

Why does it bother you?  It's fun to say and it doesn't hurt anything does it?

[MUCrew]

Maybe it's supposed to be read with a thick English accent?

"Jim-meh Boot-lah"  "Dah-ree-us John-suhn Ehyo-dum"

That would DEFINITELY bring a much better vibe to the BC.  Maybe have wine and cheese next to a fireplace while at the game as well? 

[NavinRJohnson]

Maybe Jimmy likes it.

Maybe he does. I don't. That is all.

I prefer the guy who does Lakers' games at the Staples Center with his deep monotone voice.  Seriously.  Schtick like the dude up in Detroit is just lame.

[RawdogDX]

Why don't we just get the chick who makes the announcements on the CTA to read out everything in monotone?  That would really pump up the energy level.

[DJO's Pump Fake]

Everyone in my section hates it...that guy is a dweeb anyway...I also hate when he goes to the student section before the games and tries to rile them up....your a PA announcer dude.

I'm OK with JimmahhhButlllaahh, but I don't want it to turn into the freakfest of NBA PA announcers.

[AZWarrior]

Ought to be:  Jimmy   (pause for silent "F#@%-ing")   Butler!!

As long as a kid doesn't do it (ala last year's NBA All-Star weekend).

[TallTitan34]

This seems to be the latest non-basketball related thing to complain about after a win haha.

Preach. I'm with ya on this one, and have been banging that drum for awhile.

The PA guy sucks. I thought Bob Brainerd was far better the few games he filled in.

[pillardean]

Who listens to the PA guy?

[Rocco]

What about MauRRRRRRRRRRRRRRice Acker.  The roll of the R in Maurice is ridiculous.  I actually thought they fired that clown, when Brainerd was doing the games, Bob is far better, and more professional.

[wesmat23]

I can't believe people are complaining about this guy! I honestly like how he announces the names and the different  terms he uses for violations. He brings a little bit of energy and something new to the game. I can't stand PA announcers that sound like they are strung real tight. He seems to be having fun and I get a kick out of it. Those who don't like it must be very "old school" or very politically correct on how they do things. Have a little fun. Don't let it bother you, GET INTO THE GAME AND SCREAM AND YELL. ROOT FOR YOUR SCHOOL. Too many people just sit on there hands at games.

Why don't you refrain from referring to women as chicks?

[wyoMUfan]

Mike Jakubowski is a stand up guy and a professor at MU (was in 05-06 idk about now).
He does events for the PBA also, I think he does a perfectly fine job as the PA announcer and probably knows more about the team than you guys complaining do.

Where do I start with this one... I assume your a student? Might wanna pass that memo for cheering on to your classmates. That is, if they haven't left early yet.

How is there any correlation between cheering and complaining on a message board? I can't stand the guy and I probably yell more than I should for being upstairs.
