As I’m sorry man. Prayers for you and your family and his friends.RIP Billy Packer.
Say hello to my 86 year old Uncle Gerald who passed this morning.
Btw, wojo in classic duke fashion, embellished the ever loving shit out of that and reeled packer in hook line and sinker.
I remember when Al McGuire got annoyed with Billy when he said freshman Jared Prickett looks like a young Larry Bird.
Amazing that we won that game.Btw, wojo in classic duke fashion, embellished the ever loving shit out of that and reeled packer in hook line and sinker.
Either way, RIP Billy. Hes definitely a legend
Just another fish flop by Wojo, learned under K.Btw, wojo in classic duke fashion, embellished the ever loving shit out of that and reeled packer in hook line and sinker.

Don’t believe he hated UK. He respected Kentucky Basketball. He just didn’t slobber over it like UK fans would have liked. He was one of the best. RIP. He was the voice of college basketball for a long time. He and Nance were really good togetherBoy. He HATED UK.
My Dad might be getting in a fight up there tonight. He couldn’t stand Packer.
All that aside. He was a legend in the sport. Prayers and condolences to his family and friends.

You hit the nail on the head. He was always about the game. He and Al McGuire together with Dick Enberg was some of the best broadcasting you will ever hearInformative broadcaster. Made it about the game, not himself. RIP.

What the? Not asking in a hateful way but how old are you? Packer was announcing games in until about 2004.Don’t really know who he is, was before my time, but R.I.P, and prayers for the family
I removed when St Joes earned a 1 seed in 2004 and he would shut up about how they didn’t deserve it. He always shilled for Duke and UNC.Played for Wake Forest, became one of the voices of March Madness in the 90's/early 2000's with Jim Nance. Very opinionated. Every fan base thinks they hated their team to be honest.
I don’t think it was UK hate . But he was absolutely a big ACC homer . I’m guessing because he was a Wake Forest guy .Don’t believe he hated UK. He respected Kentucky Basketball. He just didn’t slobber over it like UK fans would have liked. He was one of the best. RIP. He was the voice of college basketball for a long time. He and Nance were really good together
Maybe that was it. You know when you’re 12-13 years old and UK is life….when an older man says “Well unc is better” it just sounds like blatant hate. Lol.if you add up just the tubby years he probably called 30 of our games nationally so there’s a memory. by the time pitino’s run had run it’s course he finally had a healthy respect for kentucky. he just preferred north carolina. very much more. he was blatant some games. all in all rip
I was 2 in 2004 gettin ready to turn 3 that july. I turn 22 in julyWhat the? Not asking in a hateful way but how old are you? Packer was announcing games in until about 2004.
Damn. You were barely here for 9/11. Making me feel old.I was 2 in 2004 gettin ready to turn 3 that july. I turn 22 in july
9/11 is my grandfathers birthday that’s why I remember, I obviously know it’s one of the most tragic events ever, but I wasn’t even 2 months old yetDamn. You were barely here for 9/11. Making me feel old.
He was good in his early years. But yes towards the end really insufferableRIP Billy Packer. But he always acted like there was only one way to play. "You can't leave him in with 3 fouls." And then he would go on and on. I'm sure he was a great guy. But as an announcer he was near insufferable.
Hence the barely here. Lol Again. Making me feel ancient.9/11 is my grandfathers birthday that’s why I remember, I obviously know it’s one of the most tragic events ever, but I wasn’t even 2 months old yet
