Terry Elliot

[Rosewood]

Also, what a tough spot for MK. He can't just protest this and say he won't broadcast because he knows so many of us are counting on this. Yet his partner was taken away w/o consultation. His job is going to be rough. God willing we make it to Omaha, this is even more of a mess.

The timing is what I'm ticked off about. I can't think of a logical explanation for cutting him loose during the postseason. Well, maybe I can come up with one.

Could this be a money issue, and the cowards decided to fire him to save themselves? I think that may be the best reason why this move was made now without a clear explanation. Then again, I have as much of a clue about it as the rest of you.

I totally agree.

What kind of idiotic company fires a guy, that obviously helped make the thing worth listening to for the past 11 years, in the middle of the postseason, a mere two wins away from Omaha?

Are you EFFING kidding me? This is a bunch of bs garbage. Get rid of them and get Elliot back with Mike with a different company.

They don't realize how big of a mistake they just made. BIG TIME.

I'll get to an email in the morning..

Wow am I pissed.. :-x :-x :-x :-x :-x

Elliot is supposed to be on 1410 KGSO sometime this morning. At least someone is being up front and willing to talk about this situation.

Meanwhile I'll be crafting my e-mail to Eric Sextion and will have it ready to go.

Someone please report what is said. I have a class today and won't be able to listen.

Thanks, --85.

Terry will be on at 8am ..thanks for the heads up ISASO

[WSUShokker]

so far he is just talking about the upcoming game and said he is sorry he isnt going to be able to go to Tallahassee to call the game with Mike.

Perhaps this is just a change in the works for Shocker Radio. If BGM is losing the Shocker Broadcasts because they were outbid they may just be having MK finish out the baseball, saving the money for TE to send him to Florida. No more need for a Shocker related marketing person. Maybe 1410 or some other entity has gotten the rights.

[BostonWu]

BGM will be digging an even bigger hole if they don’t at least sub in Shane Dennis. If MK has to go solo then how is Shocker Nation supposed to interpret that? I know I will form my own conclusions.

[WSUShokker]

Terry: As of right now I wont be doing the broadcast for the game and I dont really know why. Mike Kennedy is a true proffessional.

Terrel: You have a tremendous following and support of alot of Shocker Fans and we are sad and dissapointed that you wont be involved in the broadcast.

Terry: I hope to be back in the booth in the near future

Terrell: We have received many emails and seen lots of fans responding to this situation and want you to know you can take some solace in that you have tremendous support from shocker fans


paraphrasing a bit..hope that helps

I think the biggest take-away from the whole 20-minute conversation was that he has no idea why he was fired.

WTF? Was the notice sent by carrier pigeon? How do you not know?

Yeah I agree..but you notice that after he said he had no idea why he was fired ..he said to the effect...I really dont want to talk any further about it.

I thought it was odd that he got no follow up question " Terry are you telling us they fired you and gave you no reason for your firing?"

Terry gave his answer and got a pass from Terrell ..almost like it was agreed upon before hand that he would give his answer and that was going to be it

[ShockTalk]

My guess is that it will all come out after Florida or Omaha.

[RoyalShock]

I suspect he knows why he got let go, but strongly disagrees with why, whatever it was, is a cause for termination.

I would assume he was an employee "at will" and just cause is not required for termination.
