Boy, that brought back memories. Good times growing up watching ACC basketball on Saturday afternoons.

Let’s not forget that Billy Packer was a very good basketball coach before being in the broadcast business.

… and a great player.
“Great” seems overused, but Wake Forest has played in one final four and Billy Packer was the guard who drove that team. He was great.

Billy and Jim Nance made a great team while doing the NCAA hoop tournament. Guys try to be too flashy nowadays. Billy just told it like he saw it. RIP.

Packer is a legendary figure in the world of college basketball. He was easily one of the best ever basketball announcers. I tip my hat to his greatness and celebrate his rich, full and useful life. Thanks be to God for a good man.
My God comfort the entire Packer Family.

I couldn't stand Thacker, but Billy was great!

Thacker was too much of a UNCheat homer for me!
