I grew up loving college sports in a time when they were not on televison all the time. Radio broadcasts were it. There was Munson at Georgia, Phillips at Clemson, and of course, Fulton for the Gamecocks. Those guys lived and died with their teams, as did the guys from Georgia Tech, Alabama and LSU I could pick up on AM as a boy.

I thought Morgan was cut from that mold, and I hate to see a classical sports radio guy get the ax. Just more insults to the Carolina faithful. First, they made us pay for the right just to buy tickets. They will soon take away the Farmer’s Market parking from those of us who have been there for years. Now, they send a classical radio guy packing.

Any wonder why ticket sales are down this year and more and more are just tired of giving money to people who don’t give a damn about us? Maybe I missed something. But, when did the fans, the folks who pay the bills, stop mattering to Carolina and Clemson for that matter?

You really need to listen to at least one entire SC game on the radio while watching it on television (if the audio lag does not drive you crazy) to appreciate how truly bad Ellis and Suggs are.

They cannot paint a picture, as another reader wrote and Suggs’ continuous ‘lapdog’ status has not improved in the last 20-30 years or however long he has been on these broadcasts. Ellis’ groans and grunts – which pass for attempts to articulate what is happenning on the field, are a true embarassment.

But hey, maybe if they would win a few football games all would be forgiven – that and the fact that if y ou are female, you miss an entire quarter of the game if you have to pee. The bathroon situation for women is absolutely horrible. I have been to every other stadium in the conference and this one here is the worst.

Matt (above) is onto something with his Time-Warner connection. I have heard rumors too. I think fans (and even non-fans) are gonna be really angry over the dimissal when they find out the real reasons ISP fired the best play-by-play guy in the State. As FITS says, stay tuned.

Ellis, has gotten better, but he still is not the best fit. Next to George Rogers though, Ellis looks like the next Madden.

Heard a rumor that it had something to do with Time Warner. If this is true, be prepared to start preparing to boycott Time Warner.

There is no doubt that Manning, Suggs and Ellis love USC but are they the right people in the booth? All three of them are color analysts and Mike Morgan was the only one with excellent play-by-play calls. He painted the picture. I’d rather listen to a baseball game on the radio than on tv. He will be missed.

I still like Casey Manning, Tommy Suggs and Todd Ellis. These three guys really, really love USC and people can feel it. These three guys have worked at knowing somebody in every small town, cross road, nook and cranny in South Carolina. These out of staters running USC need to appreciate that fact. Morgan was cool and really knew sports, loves sports and loves athletes who work hard and do well. He is very, very bright. Let’s all be friends, please. We need that at USC.
