After moving to NC 20+ years ago, NC Basketball broadcasts were everywhere. Woody Durham was the "Legendary" voice of the Tarheels. Trust me, as good as he was, he couldn't carry DA's jock nor for that matter, carry Jays water. However, Woody was a really, really, good football PXP man. No dead air, never...
Has CajunVic gone on to parts unknown???
Don Allen?? You guys must have heard a different Don Allen from what I did.
I thought Don Allen was gone by the time the Cajundome opened.Quote:

I never got to hear J C Politz (that I'm aware of) but based on the quality of your other picks, he must have been very good.Quote:

I didn't get into basketball on the radio until Jaybird was calling the shots.
For the younger guys, J. C. was the announcer in the 1959 Billy Cannon Halloween run against Ole Miss. Slip of the tongue bought him infamy.

Only heard Don Allen call some tv baseball games a few times so I’ve got no real read in him. I’ve only been listening to Cajuns broadcasts since like 2004/5 so Jay is the voice of the Cajuns for me. A good one at that.
While I’m not suggesting he be on the all radio team, Stevie P calling softball is fun to listen to. Especially an exciting game because he’s super excited too. He’s a fan also and you can share in that excitement on the broadcast. Makes for a good experience.
Don Allen calling radio was awesome.
His weakness was in the lack of acknowledging the comments of his color guy.
When did JC Politz do Cajuns games don't remember that..
Don Allen brings me back to my childhood and listening to games with my father. His voice was great and just perfect for radio.
