He is one of the few avid supporters that didn't lose hope through the dark years. Kept them on the radio despite what had to be dismal ratings that even the Saturday afternoon AM cooking radio shows could beat. The guy bleeds blue. Always has. If he has a downfall it is that he is too passionate about the Aggies. Who can really be upset about that?
I rarely listen to Al call games anymore because thankfully I get to watch all the games on TV now days. Nobody can question his loyalty. He is as passionate as they come.
As for the announcer....last year's announcer was a joke! Flygare had trouble with the poly names but he was 10X the announcer as last year's buffoon.

Re: the question you all are dying to ask
I've said this before, but Al is sort of our Harry Caray. Is he the best announcer in the world? Certainly not. Is he a great interviewer? I don't think so. I do think it is much more difficult than people realize to do the play by play. Al is unique and I'm going to miss hearing his voice when he decides to drop the mic.

Re: the question you all are dying to ask
So we should be happy with a (I can't express myself without swearing) announcer, because there are (I can't express myself without swearing) options out there? Just because the guy last year sucked is not a good reason to bring flygre back. Please no!!!stewusu98 wrote:Hopefully we learned that when we called for Flygare's head. Flygare was not great except when compared to last years guy.

Re: the question you all are dying to ask
I agree. I was just stating we get so mad but we just complain. I am poor, but I have had season tickets and cannot get mad when I hear what my friends pay for their tickets at byu or utah. We really have it good, I am glad I am an Aggie because I could not afford to be a fan of the other two universities. If you compare YBU's guy with Al we get the same quality for a lot less money. Greg Wrubell is a complete joke. While many are huge fans of Scott Gerard he is not the greatest representation of Utah State. He rips on his education there and it really makes me mad. I could not have gone anywhere in the west and received a better education in my area of expertise. Just kind of getting sick of the negativity on this board. In the past 6 years I have gone from a good contributor (200 times a year to one who does maybe 5 times a year).Empire of Dirt wrote:So we should be happy with a s*** announcer, because there are s*** options out there?
