Parakeet Jones Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 I’ve never known IU sports without him. That will be a strange day to hear another voice after he retires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's as much of IU history as anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on his comments about "not being any money in doing radio" I hope his retirement doesn't come until the day the good Lord calls him. What we should be demanding is a replacement for Suhr on the mic. Capt Obvious just really turns my crank. It's almost a toss up of who is worse, Suhr, or Dakich? Neither are good choices IMO.

Chuck Marlowe, retired IU basketball announcer, dies The early years of my IU fandom included Chuck Marlowe on tv and doing the RMK show. I think he was still making short appearances on the IMS radio network during the 500 when I started attending as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just won’t be the same to hear a different voice in Assembly Hall announce “personal foul, number __” without that perpetual head cold it always sounds like he has, lol. Icons.

And he was a fixture on Chicago tv.... doing wrestling, with the likes of "Dick the Bruiser", and his cousin " The Crusher" WWA Championship Wrestling (May 17, 1969) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suhr isn't an arrogant self-promoting chrome-domed twit. He wins by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlinedavid Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 The one thing I've always liked about Assembly Hall is that team accomplishments are the primary focus vs honoring individuals. When his time comes, which I hope is a long time from now, I hope Don Fischer is the exception to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
