Dang it.....missed this one for 2 reasons...work comes first before play and with the weather the way it was popping up everywhere....i just couldn’t make myself make the drive.
I did listen to it on WZZQ which was the first time doing that...announcers did a good job I thought...what do you Gaffney boys think about them? How long have they been at the mic?
I am going to be at the Fort next week....have to visit some clown down there!!! 8-) :lol:

The WZZQ crew does a fantastic job with the broadcast. Dennis Fowler is the owner of the radio station and has been doing radio broadcast since I was little and probably before the other guy Brock Hamrick is doing this for his 1st season as a football announcer although he has done the basketball games for the last couple of seasons if I am not mistaken and he is a Gaffney boy so he should do pretty well with the games

The Gaffney Broadcast Team is one of the best to work with!! I did PBP in their new stadium several years ago. We were having issues connecting our phone line and asked Dennis if he could help. We ended up running a phone line from the visitors radio booth to Gaffney's home PBP booth so we could get a telephone tone. The Gaffney radio crew did all the work to get us connected back to Rock Hill. Super nice people....They always made sure that the press box crew brought us statistics at the end of each quarter....One of the nicest stadiums to work in.....Facilities, crew etc......

I remember there was another gentleman who did color for years with Dennis - can't remember his full name - I think his last name was Fabian......Anyone know?
