[BiloxiDawg]

Yes. He was a very unique attribute to MSU Athletics...

Football gets my vote too.. start the grassroots movement!

 

[thf24]

Why was he dropped in the first place? Couldn't have been for lack of popularity since there's one of these threads every 1-2 months.

 

[57stratdawg]

One of Byrnes few mistake IMO.

For what it's worth I don't think Flick would take it even if offered.

 

[Junction John]

I see by my Liberty Bowl watch that it's time for Flick to come back.

 

[chriswnc]

No, no, please no!

 

[tenureplan]

Maybe he only heard him for football before he fired him...

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

He was dumped for a reason

Anybody want to talk about the GD flag?

 

[DangerZone]

For what it's worth I don't think Flick would take it even if offered.

I'm with strat. I asked him one day before class if he went to a basketball game the night before and I got such a look I never asked about it again.

 

[tenureplan]

boo!

 

[1msucub]

Ab. So. Lutely.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

He was dumped bc of Croom's ego.

Bring Flick back to the Hump.

 

[tenureplan]

DS or HD, would you mind keeping this stickied, and showing the AD the final results?

 

[wtw2400]

No just no

 

[tenureplan]

So I take it you weren't there for the 95-96 season?

 

[missouridawg]

He was dumped bc of Croom's ego.

Bring Flick back to the Hump.

Care to expound? I've never really heard a great reason why he was removed outside of his voice was too unique. I thought he did an excellent job at both sports.

 

[jcdawgman18]

Removing Flick was dumb, I'd love to have him back to welcome us to the HUMP for HOOPS and an evening of BASKETBALL, MISSISSIPPI STATE STYLE!

 

[Confucius Say]

Yes a thousand times.
Welcome to the hump, for hoops.
For an evening of baaaaasketball, mississippi state style!

 

[crackerjax]

No. Even when watching on TV you could hear his nasally voice cracking sometimes.

 

[snoopdog]

Yes...

No other sport but basketball. Yes or No. Color commentary acceptable.

Would love to see him back, on the condition he still has the same flair and style he did.

 

[Original48]

Never should have been let go. Timing is perfect to bring him back.

 

[Drewbowski]

I think he should be brought back but I do not think he would accept it.

 

[Beretta.sixpack]

It would be like the most glorious rainbow ever!

[whosyourdawgy]

Yes for basketball only. Not for football. He was awesome in the Hump but his tone does not do well in stadium environment. I couldn't hear a damn thing he said at football games. Sounded like Charlie Browns teacher That was partly with the ****** sound system at the time as well as his nasal tone but we need somebody else at basketball and there was no one better than Flick to add his input during the gAmes. Need to start a thread on what nicknames he would use for our current players.

 

[was21]

No. His voice is too obnoxious and his timing is off

 

[Dawg1979]

Bring him back! Football and Basketball

 

[MeridianDog]

Yes I would love to hear his voice speaking for the bulldogs again. We need more Hank.

 

[aTotal360]

Yes. His voice gave it some uniqueness. The new PA guys are very forgettable. Secondly, I took more from his interviewing class than any other class I had at State. The guy is brilliant. I remember his stories about watching late night BET like it was yesterday.

 

[horshack.sixpack]

Yes

 

[bulldogbaja]

YES

 

[Dawgtini]

Yes!

 

[Bobby Ricigliano]

Yes

Interesting take from an opposing broadcast team on flick....

No. Even when watching on TV you could hear his nasally voice cracking sometimes.

I had no issue with Flick myself, he was doing his thing throughout my MSU days and his voice always sounded like home to me. When I moved to GA (late 90s) I was listening to a UGA broadcast from the hump while driving around town. The UGA broadcast team went on about how awful and grating that PA announcer's voice was. They likened his voice to an old-time train conductor (alll aboard!)

I guess he has a voice you either love or hate! Incidentally, I don't think I ever heard flick call a three pointer. How did he do it? I can't see him doing the old "so-and-so for THREEEEEEE!

 

[jamdawg96]

Hell yes.

Howland + Malik + Return of the Flick = Insane Atmosphere

We're fine on football with Craven, but Hank Flick was "simply the best" in the Hump. To suggest otherwise is moronic.

Problem is, as previous posters have alluded to, there's probably too much pride on either side of that fallout for it to ever happen. But one can hope...
