Bring back Duel!
I believe some of you may know, by Crazy Lou won't be back for the Spurs this year.
Lou did a of a job. Especially in 2005. He made the SBC Center nuts.
My vote.

Bring back Duel!
did they fire him?
Is he too busy hosting late night movies on Saturday nights with Clay Aiken Jr.?
Never cared for him. Duel was light years better, but it was obvious that the Spurs didn't want to offend OAI by continuing to employ him when OAI cut him loose.
how did this effect the win loss column?
Probably because Lou will now take Beno's spot in the popcorn selling rotation, which means Beno drops to the guy that stirs the nacho cheese, which means Pop will not get fully stirred cheese on his nachos because of Beno's injuries.
Pop will be pissed and the Spurs will lose one extra game this season.
Exactly. I knew this dude was important.
His Choice, Not fired at all.
Vaguely remember Duel doing them. He was pretty good?
There is a god.
The long haired moron is gone.
Now just get rid of Schoening and were looking good.
I thought Beno was taking Rasho's possition as Gatorade distibutor?
Crazy Lou?
I thought it was a new guy out there tonight. I thought he did a good job although I really liked Crazy Lou- especially at play off time.
Since you mentioned Pop... he has a new section in the arena. Pop's Platoon.
Lou was okay. It's important not to be annoying to the fans, though.
I like Bill Schoening just fine. He's grown on me and he has decent recognition of what's going on. He's got a little "homer" in him but that's okay with me.
With all due respect for Stan Kelly as PA man, he's gotten more shaky and he's almost becoming like nails on a chalkboard for me now. He sounds nervous but with all that experience, how can it be nerves? Stan has years of experience doing PA work (UT Basketball, Spurs, etc.), had the misfortune of replacing the late Pat Tallman, a tough act to follow. Stan has continued on through some illness issues and I truly admire his track record....rain or shine he's there. My opinion is, it's time for Stan to hang 'em up with the Spurs...it's a voice quality and listener ease issue.
For mascots...I do think the new Coyote has done better than I would have expected following in the footsteps of Tim Derk. The fact that Tim coaches him, helps, I'm sure.

I like Bill Schoening too and I love the Coyote.
I didn't think Crazy Lou was very good at his job, but he had improved a lot. Chris Duel was awesome at it. He was especially good in the playoffs.
The Coyote has improved too.
Bill Shoening > Reggie
we're lucky to have bill. he's one of the best in the business. he's a whole lot better than the guy before him.
Bring Back "Dancing Harry"
I hope all the praise for Chris Duel is merely sarcasm, as I cannot, with the exception of Bill Walton, remember any public figure more annoying than him.
Seriously, if I could punch one person in the face, and get away with it, it would be him.
No sarcasm here about Chris Duel. I really enjoyed it when he was in the mix. He's a funny guy and is very nice in person too. I wonder who they'll bring in?
Crazy Lou was alright but nothing special.
Stan Kelly is the one guy who I believe the Spurs need to replace but I realize he is the "Voice of the Spurs" and it is unlikely, despite the declining quality of his "product", the Spurs let him go until he chooses to hang them up.
Happens all the time in sportscasters and announcers. Teams hold onto their guys too long for the reason above.
New guy last night was Mike Lavender.
He does the EMCEE for the Rampage.
I'm not sure if he's the new guy yet, or if they are just auditioning.
Oh god, not him.
Hes more annoying than Crazy freakin Lou.
Coming from some bony armed little kid, thats rich.I hope all the praise for Chris Duel is merely sarcasm, as I cannot, with the exception of Bill Walton, remember any public figure more annoying than him.
