The folks at the home say Billy has his good days and his bad days now living in the twilight of his life...yesterday was a good one and he will always be the voice of Pitt...
I really enjoyed the TV broadcast last night as well. Avery Johnson is a great color analyst.
The guys broadcasting the game, especially Avery, were excellent. He knew his stuff and it was entertaining and informative to listen to him.
Always like him.
Curtis did a nice job on those calls as well. I generally think he doesn’t bring quite enough perspective and polish for that role- but his enthusiasm shined through last night. I would love to hear more of Julie Page.
Avery Johnson is the perfect guy for the atmosphere of the Dayton games...I think he has been their guy there for a while.
We met him in person a few times , it was a let down , didn’t seem like a nice guy to the kids who treated him like an star when he walked up
I had a great conversation with mr hillgrove and his grandson at the 2015 spring game. He couldn’t have been nicer to me and it was really cool to hear his grandson talk about how he hoped to be a broadcaster as well someday.
I'll one up you. He is without a doubt the local broadcasting GOAT. Why he gets shade is beyond me.
I don't give a shit if Billy gets 10 calls wrong a game. I love him. He's a true hall of famer.
The people like souf who hate him can pound salt. I’ll take hold over the national guys who don’t shut up about dumb crap any day
Met him over 20 years ago during my radio days. We did a live interview on the air. He was a class act and a real Pitt guy.
But at one point I had to laugh! One of them called Mississippi State Texas A&M
I heard the same comment—uniform color was caused the mixupBut at one point I had to laugh! One of them called Mississippi State Texas A&M
May have been an off day....Ive had the pleasure of meeting him a few times and always has been very receptive.
