Who said that?


Nov 17, 2021, 1:27 PM

I need a little help from older Tiger fans. As a kid, I listened to games on the radio. I really liked one of the announcers. When Clemson made a great play, he would say "Woo Who Mercy". He also called the QB The Needle because he could thread the ball in a tight spot. Anyone know who the announcer was and who the QB was? Thanks.

Remember the announcer, but not his name. Jimmy Addison was the needle.

As I recall the nickname came

because Addison was so skinny. I think he weighed about the same as Hunter Renfrow as a freshman.
