I see a little bashing of Mike Kennedy in several threads. Remember he is the voice of the shockers. With that part of his job is to put best light on the shockers. It's what he paid to do.
But that aside, you all have no idea how fortunate you are to have him calling shocker games. I truly believe he is better than any here in Texas and probably one of the tops in the country.
Listening to him really brings back the memories of the cheese Johnson era for me.
Before MK, we has to listen to Gus Hereby where someone was always "in the ice box".
Kennedy is a gem!
