Best SID ever?

[longgone]

With college football about to start and many of us returning to our familiar seats above the 50-yard-line and near the buffet, wondering which SID tops your list for best all-around. I don't have a lot of experience at colleges west of the Mississippi, but I'll throw in an opening vote for the late Bob Bradley at Clemson. Well-prepared, cooperative, great historic knowledge of the program, tremendous stat packages, well-run press box and just a great guy.

Claude Felton.

End of thread.

Not any of mine.

And let me be the first to pile on with the gratuitous "How 'bout the guy at VCU?" post.

 

[HackyMcHack]

I'll place Florida State's Rob Wilson up for nomination and second the Claude Felton nomination...

I haven't known a whole lot of SIDs from very many schools. I've had good experiences with quite a few of the ones I have made contact with.

The guy at VCU is worthless.






Just kidding, Moddy!

I'm probably partial, but Dave Williford at Oregon would get my vote. Always had things extremely organized, his staff is as knowledgeable and friendly as he is, he remembers visiting folks even if he only sees them once a year and he can answer just about any question you throw his way, most without having to look up anything.

The people are your school are light years ahead of the ones we deal with here.

I never thought I'd say that.

The guy that said "the only thing I hate worse than track is field" should receive some consideration.

Williford is great. He was always fun to work with and even though I only did one game in 2006, he remembered me when I went back in 2007.

Rich Dalrymple and Karl Schmitt at Univ. of Miami in the eighties.

if you want to include conference offices and media relations directors, it's bo carter of the southwest/big 12 conference.

 

[DavidPoole]

Bob Bradley of Clemson was the man.

Suck up....


In the sub-BCS division, I would be happy to nominate Jim Streeter of Eastern Michigan, whose had to deal with clowns in the media (Present and accounted for) and fools in the administration for most of his career. He's always done a lot working with a little.

God damnit, slappy. I was finally going to be able to post an original thought on this board and you ****ing stole my opportunity. Hell, Streeter should be recognized for the recent football coaches he's had to deal with.

Claude Felton.

End of thread.

amen

 

[King Of All Media]

Not as beloved as Felton, but Dave Plati should be on this list as well.

 

[SEC Guy]

Another vote for Felton.

 

[Armchair_QB]

Claude, Bud Ford and Langston Rogers are three guys who still understand the importance of the personal touch.

 

[Batman]

I've always enjoyed dealing with Mississippi State's guys, Mike Nemeth and Joe Dier. Very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.

Sadly, they are part of a dying breed.
