Re: [HVC] Pregame Fuel, Postgame Fire : WDFN’s Matt “The Diesel” Dery

i used to listen to Joe Tait and 3WE(WWWE) back when the Pistons played at Cobo Hall. At night, you could get WWWe very clearly and I used to get a kick out of Joe T's calls. When I would play bball with my nerf hoop in the day, Joe T was the announcer that called the game. You know , like" here comes Greg down the court.stops head of the key...fiddling/diddling..takes it to the elbow, pulls from 15...swish!...Greg with 17..cavs down 2". There was no fluctuation and he only got excited on excitable plays. I knew that Cavs team so well I could give u how Joe would present Pistons vs Cavs............

Here's the lineup for the Pistons;
Forward..Curtis Rowe 6-5 ucla
other forward ..6-5 Syracuse Don Adams
center 6-11 St Bonaventure Bob Lanier number 16
One Guard Syracuse Dave Bing 6-2
other Guard Chris Ford 6-4 Villonova
for the Cavs
Campy Russell 6'8 Michigan
other Forward Jim Brewer 6-7 minnesota
center number22 Jim Chones 6-10 Marquette
The guards 34 from NotreDame austin Carr 6-1
and 6-3 Depaul Jimmy Cleamons.......

all said without a single inflection..it was priceless...my favorite Cav was Bing-GOOO Smith!..now thats why they call me "OLD SKOOL!!!!!!"
