I agree. New guy is okay but not the same.

+1 horribilis!!! :thumb:
If the new guy is ever able to announce a long playoff run, I think opinions may change. I truly believe much of Mick's lore is tied to the quality level of teams he announced. Not taking anything away from his ability, the Griz teams he covered simply added to the overall environment.
Of course we miss Mick. But RC is doing a great job and is really growing on me.

I just want to hear “Good Guys 28, Cats 0” one more time.

The thing I wish Riley would develop is painting the scene more. Mick was great for his descriptions. Examples:
Just before Cat-Griz kickoff one year I remember him saying,"For all those hunters out there, skirt up the hideout, push that radio antenna as high as it will go and take another sip of the whiskey for me."
Or after the '08 SDSU comeback, "If you had told me a half hour ago this was gonna happen I would have asked you what was in that bowl?!"
It's those descriptions that make it unique and personal.

I must also admit that Riley has grown on me. At 1st I couldn't stand him to be honest, mostly because I loved the way Mick called the games! Now I think he is pretty good and appreciate how involved he is trying to be with the program. Who knows if he sticks with it for as long as Mick did maybe a new generation of Griz fans (if they exist) will talk about Riley the way we talk about Mick.
