Has there ever been a thread about Philpott

[ThinnyJ]

calling our games? I used to hate hearing his voice on the Clemson station.... I have an opinion, but I'm curious what everyone here thinks...

We hate everything tater. Including him.

We talked about him a bit when he called our Clemson game 2 years ago. Tater or not, I like the way he calls our games. His excitement in his calls reminds me of Sean McDonough or Gus Johnson.

I'll say it sounds like he loves him some Lanorris Sellers, and that's alright by me.

What happened to our two guys that called our football games?

Screw him. He always hated us. He's pure tater.

I Love Philpott lake. I've won a couple fishing tournaments there. Its run by the Army corps of engineers so it's peaceful there.

Always found it distasteful.

I answered this same question a few years ago. Philpott used to own a Clemson messageboard 20+ years ago and was the Clemson "expert" every week on Kornblut's radio show back then. I listened to it every evening on my commute back home from work. Philpott said some pretty nasty things about Carolina back then-probably to add a little spice to the show too. I remember a few things he said specifically in fact. That said, he's a pretty good play by play guy today and stays neutral (of course that's his job too).

I enjoy him actually, tater or no tater.

Frankly, I thought this was the worst announce team I've heard for one of our games in a very long time. Philpot was...okay, but the larger issue was Orsweiller. He SUCKS. I'm sure the man can throw a football over the moon, but that doesn't mean he should be announcing football games.

Philpott did make a great call on Sellers' td. I won't deny that.

 

[Tngamecock]

Philpot is damn good…sounds as exciting when we score as when the taters score. He has a great narrative of college football. True professional

 

[FootballLVR]

He may be a tater, but he is a professional. I've heard him on games all over the country and he is very consistent. (football only, the ESPN coverage on baseball is very biased to the home team - I understand why).

He does a professional job and he's solid.

I mean, he ran a message board and played the role of a fan- which is what was required.

When he calls our games- including basketball, he's talked positively about our coaches and admin people.

I am sure with his job now, he knows a lot more of our people- coaches, etc- than he did running a message board. That has a way of softening up people.

To me it's just what you do when you are a professional. I have to deal with Clemson and Clemson people in my job at times and I treat them the same as I do anyone else and would not dream of treating them any different. It simply would not happen. I'm going to be fair to them at all times because that's what people do when they take a professional approach and value ethics.
