Has this been covered lately? I hate to be negative, but I'm guess I'm going to be. I've had season tickets for the last six years. Just who is this guy? Am I the only one who finds his voice grating? "The RAAHHHHHK belongs to Marquette." "D-J-OOOOOOOO." "Jimmmmmaaaaaayyy Butlahhhhhhh."

At times, he sounds like a bad imitation of Phil Hartman doing Ed McMahon.

I get it, every announcer needs to have his signature calls, firing up the crowd with the way you announce players' names. Growing up a Brewers fan, I'll never forget "Sixtooooo Lezzzzcaaaanooooooooooo..."

Maybe I'm getting old.

I am a student and my whole group of friends hates the Jimmay Butlah call. There is no need for him to do it when Butler is being subbed in. When he makes a great play it's a little less annoying

Best cat ever for this type of thing was the guy at MSG. Very distinctive voice and just matter of fact--traditional.

That stuff does not bother me. Better than an annoucer with no entusiasm. What does bother me is the fact that they do not give the opposing player heights when they announce the starters. It has been omitted for 3 or 4 years now. I know how tall our players are. I liked to know how tall the others team's starters are.

Our PA announcer seems traditional as well.  Maybe MU could pay the spinish odinels to do PA?  They are VERY traditional.

We do need another guy from Senegal on the team, the PA guy does that well at least.  

Just be thankful we don't have a female PA announcer.

Tactical military aircraft have a voice warning system known as Bitch Box Betty. The decision was made to use a sultry female voice since studies proved fighter pilots will immediately cue in on such a voice, even over the clutter of an in-flight emergency or a tense combat situation. This is human nature, despite what the PC Nazis in places like Madison want us to believe.

Someone posted they did not want a female announcer. Fact is, the male brain will immediately cue in on a female voice, especially one whose pitch, tone or tenor excites our baser urges.

You haven't developed this same hatred to the "Nummmbbbeerrr twoooooo- VANDER BLUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEE" yet?

I am indifferent to the guy. He is a little over the top sometimes, but I do like the emphasis when it is deserved.

I realized that this is the problem I have with him.  He's obnoxious all the time.  I really like him over the top when the game gets exciting, but when he's pretending to get pumped about something lame it really grinds my gears.

It's like the drunk students on Wednesday trying to get lame chants going.  I appreciate the effort (i guess) but not right now.  You can tell the people aren't digging it.  Just wait for a better time.

Say "Junior Cadougan" aloud in your own personal announcer voice.  
Junior Ca-doooooooogan!

I like it, but agree that it can get a little too "Gus Johnson-y" for me.

I don't think that was Jakubowski, I think it was the guy before him, Bob Brainerd, who did the Wade thing.  I heard that Brainerd got Creaned because he wasn't over-the-top enough for TC.
The shaka sign, sometimes known as "hang loose", is a gesture of friendly intent often associated with Hawaii and surf culture.

I really like how he announces. He's having fun. Most announcers I've heard are all very boring. I like when he says "the Rock belongs to Marquette"

To be fair, I'm pretty sure announcers have been extending first or last names before RONNNNNNN played at UW.

Did Brainerd learn he had been Creaned through ESPN?

So UW came up with the idea of:

1) Jumping around during a song called Jump Around
2) Extending players names when announced

Did they also come up with the idea for us as humans to breathe air?

Got any empirical evidence to support this assertion, bucko, or we going on male chauvinist intuition?

That guy in the Wade days is Bob Brainerd. He filled two games last season for Marquette games. He does all of the UWM games.

Mike Manke is a great PA guy for UW football and basketball.

He was great last year.  I wish we had him back.  It made the games far more enjoyable!
