TD Smith

Maybe we can get him to sing "Respect" at all games.

Eh some how I think that would sound a bit like a train wreck. Perhaps if this season doesn't turn around it might just work....

TD does a great job and we are lucky to have him. I've heard other announcers from different places and we have one of the best. I agree that he needs to stick to the script and just call the action. But that is easily solved with a phone call or an email. I know you are all down on TD. but it could be worse....We could have the guy who calls the softball games doing the basketball and football games for us. You want to talk about taking attention away from the game and putting it on himself? That's the guy to be complaining about.

I agree with the folks who don't want to hear 1,2,3. I think it is lame! TD does not bother me, it's the counting. It reminds me of Seseme Street. 1,2,3 HA HA HA....

Another thing TD did to put the attention on him was at baseball games when Johnny Mac would come to the plate he would say "tip your hats if you please" it was perfectly fine when the baseball team did it themselves and the fans just picked up on it. That is how traditions are started not by the pa guy leading a cheer crowd.

As a member of the basketball band, I hate it when TD does it. He actually screws us up most of the time. Its was ok the first couple times he did it last year, but after that it was just annoying. Somebody said that we sould play as a cue. We can't. There's very strict rules about playing when the ball is in play. Hence, we only play before and after the game, and during time outs only. That's where the 1...2...3... came from. We should have the cards soon. There's a lot of new people in it, we have to get them used to it.

He needs to let the band and the students do their own thing and just announce the game.

Has anyone done anything to contact TD yet?

PERHAPS!!???? Better start warming up TD, you are going to be hoarse before this season is over.

PERHAPS we could get him to move to Albuquerque and take BoP with him.

...with the little things that can sometimes be annoying, as with most people, they are both still entertaining...imo...glad to hear the band getting into things. I'm sure if one of their members were to address their interest in taking over the "1, 2, 3 thing" TD wouldn't have a problem with it.

To those in the band who were stomping their feet when the cajuns were on defense...thank you. I've always hoped to hear everyone doing that at the right time. It can get extremely loud really quick.

thats the whole point, nobody needs to do the 1,2,3. If you don't know when to say cajun ball then your not watching the game. When we get a turnover you say cajun ball it is that easy, no 123. when the band started the chant they never said 123 they would just say cajun ball. It is not just b/c TD is saying it, the 123 just sounds horrible. Alot of people think this is a personal attack on TD but it just the 123.
