Is Don Munson the worst announcer in the history of the world


Apr 22, 2017, 3:12 PM

My vote is yes.

The guy reminds me of a little dweeb.



Shut up, Don.

The way he yelled "Touchdown, Touchdown, Touchdown" was terrible. It was as if he was trying to keep his voice from cracking so instead it sounded like growling

Lol. You're right, but when a pinch runner came in for beer last week he said pitch runner. Pitch batter, pitch runner etc.

He's well spoken and doesn't come across as a redneck.


Apr 22, 2017, 3:25 PM

Those are the goals for his role. Play by play announcers should have neutral accents and have a decent command of the game. Don fits that description well.

Don may not be Jim Phillips, but he is a far cry better than a LOT of the announcers out there. In just the past few weeks, in watching/listening to Tigers on ESPN3 we've had to endure some REALLY annoying coverage guys; 'won't mention names (don't know most), but I'll take Don ANY DAY over the guys covering Florida State, Carolina and at least one more who was so nasal & annoying I had to turn the audio off!

It's come to this? Have you really ever heard some of the announcers at other universities? Don is very good compared to some of those morons. Some of you would ##### about the roads being blocked if it was raining gold nuggets.

Yannity was fine and so is Don. The administration wanted Don and most people are fine with that. When someone says Don is the worst announcer ever I really wonder if there is a hidden agenda.

Yanity will always be my favorite, I was too young to remember Phillips. But I think Don does a good enough job. But whoever said he's better than K'waulck, or however it is you spell his name, is 100% right. He tries way too hard to be cool.

I think the reason for the consternation over Munson


Apr 22, 2017, 9:00 PM

Is because a new position was created specifically for him. Several people were let go in a hasty manner to make room for Don and his new job.

So when something that drastic happens, it must mean the guy who they carved out this gig for must be amazing and well worth it. But we've found out that he is at best average.

Don isnt the best or worst....


Apr 23, 2017, 9:28 PM

Either Don has grown on me or I just don't care any more. The best voice we have calling Clemson games right now is Tony Castricone. I wish he were the complete voice of Clemson Athletics. With that I also know that Don is sitting in the chair because that's who Dabo wanted behind the football mic & its grown into what it is now.

For those that don't think Dabo controlled that don't understand just how much power Dabo has. Like the spring game being on ACC Network Extra instead of ESPN, 2 or U. My suspicions were that Dabo wanted it online to try to get more butts in the seats. Why did I think that? Leading up to the game in every interview Dabo kept saying how important it was going to be to get the qbs the reps in front of a gameday like crowd.

How were my suspicions confirmed? In between games Don had a call in show (aweful idea) & a couple of folks were complaining about the games being online & 1 mentioned "just like the spring game". Don commenced to say the baseball was online because of the ACC contract & then he said "But the spring game was not on major tv because Dabo didn't want it out there nationwide".

Don's Dabo's mouthpiece.

The man is ALLIN and I think he does a fine job. I'm not sure why people get upset when someone is doing a job well. I'm sure there are better ones out there, but I've heard some of the homers at other venues, and no way would I trade Don for those clowns. Don adds a lot of info to the broadcast. Details that are pretty interesting IMO. Whiners gonna whine I guess. For me - I just keep enjoying the games, and am thankful that Don is there to make it even more interesting.
