Courtside announcer

[BrewCity83]

Did Brainerd learn he had been Creaned through ESPN?

No, but I heard that there may have been an incident with a potted plant in the coach's office...

Hate to bust your bubble, but that was a hijack of Camp Randall announcer doing RONNNNNNN dayne.

Serious? HAHA

Listen to it from the horse's mouth.  About 7:40 into it.

I brought a Xavier friend of mine to a game and says Jimmy But-laaahhh ever since.

[SalsaMan]

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

Nothing, other than 4000 hours in a tactical jet. And a combat deployment to SWA for Desert Storm. And six combat deployments to SWA for both OIF and OEF. And the night I lost a three foot section of wing over Tora Bora when Betty came through loud and clear.

Good enough, Bucko?

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.   

Weird, in the 10's of billions of web pages, the term "bitch box betty" only comes up on the 'scoop.

Weird.

It is a slang term used by tactical aviators.

NEWWWWWWBIILLLLL would have been great

[SalsaMan]

It must therefore be bs, is that it?

I can understand that since you are not a fighter pilot you cannot know how to search for this term. If you were you would know what to type in the search box to get the validation you seem to require. I typed in the following: bitch box betty cockpit warning system and got hundredes of results.

Because you are ignorant of a term and cannot search for it properly the other person must be making it up.

Oh settle down.

"Can only take you for your word" meaning that I accepted it as fact.  

Relax my man, it's Friday.

Sorry. Just my PTSD flaring up again. Usually happens when I think of Madison or how we lost out on Gasser

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

I never asserted that he was the first to do this.  He is very distinctive.

[tower912]

Mike is doing fine.   It is his job to try to inject a little energy into the proceedings.    Don't like the way he is doing it?    Audition for the job.    As an aside, the first announcer I remember doing intro's like that to fire up the crowd was the Notre Dame announcer in the late 70's-early 80's introducing Orrrrllaaannnnnddoooooo Wooooolllllllrridggggge,    Kelly TriPUKa, and Traccccy   Jacckkkkkksssssonnn.     So Mike is trying to fire things up.    No harm.    It sometimes seems this board is incapable of doing anything BUT whine.

Yea, but isn't that classic UW thinking?

They didn't have the first announcer to saaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy lllllooooooonnnnnngggggggg names, but he was very distinctive, so everybody who did it after him, stole it.

UW students weren't the first people to realize that you could "jump around" during the song "Jump Around", but they are very distinctive, therefore, everybody who does it after they did it obviously stole it from them.

That makes no sense.

[MUfan12]

I really liked the guy who did PA for the exhibition game. Strong voice, appropriate level of enthusiasm, and didn't sound like a cheesy radio DJ. Wish they'd bring him on full time.

UW should sue Kris Kross AND House of Pain.  Frankly I think the kids from Kris Kross could use the royalty money.  Backward pants ain't cheap.

Yup, remember they created the wave!      And Jump Around      And throwing marshmellows at players laced with quarters...well, actually they did create that one.
