@@Lootmeister memorized that falling asleep to the album as a kid - drives, stops, pump, shoot, short, no good, and the game is overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!
Sherman Whitman -- Awesome! Do they also have any recordings going back before that -- or will I have to keep listening to RU-vid and searching there? Just wondering...
Brent musburger ruined the trophy presentation for our blazers because of the stupid golf tournament after we won the title. I was 2 years old that time in 77
With all due respect, the Blazers are in a lull with regards to their radio announcing. We've been spoiled - Schonz, the great Eddie Doucette, and Brian Wheeler. The current regime doesn't do it for me.
If anyone (still) sees this: It was Jim Marsh, a forward who spent a year or two with Portland, then retired and was with Bill Schonely this one year, I believe, on the radio (home games only). He then went on to do Seattle Super Sonics analysis for another 10-12 years. I simply lived/died by these games... 🥲
Portland fans crash the switchboard at KOIN, the local CBS-TV affiliate, protesting the quick cut to golf. Dick Butterfield, KOIN's general manager, is at the game and doesn't find out until later. He calls the move "plain lousy judgment." Don Wiederecht, a communications director for CBS, apologizes to "our basketball fans" and assures them the trophy presentation and "locker room activity" will be shown on CBS Sports Spectacular in a few days.
