odhgibo Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 This turned into a support thread. Which is fine. I realized at the outset that I probably was in the minorty. His quirks wouldn't bother me so much if he were the color commentator but, as the play-by-play guy, they are front and center every game. (I'm not even going to start on the quality, or lack thereof, of Dunn's "analysis.") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalapeño Zippy Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Great shirt idea, lol. I heart Frenchy & Dunn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandzip Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I have all of Frenchy's calls from those last minute wins at the Q over the years saved on my computer. I didn't have a video feed of the win over Toledo a few years ago but listening to Steve made you think you were watching the last game of the NBA Championship. Put me down as a supporter.

GoZips Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Great shirt idea, lol. I heart Frenchy & Dunn I'll take two, both XL. Great idea. Has possibilities. Beats the Terps re-stealing our "Fear the Roo" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoZips88 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Why am I all of a sudden picturing KD with a "I <heart> French & Dunn" T-shirt over his shirt and tie when he comes out one of these times for the post-game interview? I think the T-shirt idea is a "Go!" How about adding "R U kidding ME?!?!" and "... get outta here with a win." on the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zips Win! Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 +1. However, I cannot say the same for his sidekick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontrealExposloveZippy Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 It took me a little while getting used to Frenchie call the Zips games, but I think he's great. I LOVE that he is a homer pretty much like Tom Hamilton, but I do think Hammy provides quite a bit of critiquing and objectivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Frenchy lets you know when he's frustrated with a Zips performance, or lack thereof. Believe me, over the years, he's been very frustrated and critical of Zips performances. Haven't we all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 French has a "style" which is kind of cool among announcers these days. He isn't over the top, doesn't try to "Sportsenter it up" and does what a radio announcer is supposed to do: paint the picture, give time, score and where the ball is on the floor. Not liking his style is one thing, saying he is bad at what he does is misguided and ignorant. As far as other announcers in the MAC I actually think there are some decent ones. Ohio has a nice crew, Miami and WMU also. I think Can't does a good job too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
