I'm 99% sure that it wasn't the Buckeye guy. I think that I would have remembered that...

He was absolutely 100% not the same announcer from Buckeye. I don't know who it was at Buckeye, but it wasn't Sir Charles.
It was the announcer at buckeye's first FIRST announcing job, and it was Sir Charles' first FIRST announcing job, i remember that distinctly from both events.

...."This match is over, baby!"

Sorry, couldn't resist.

............Hello!!!! (sorry again)

He was only half-annoying to me. There were some people that felt we had bad luck getting placed in the Newton field with this guy, and I gotta admit, I could have used a break from him, but he did a good job. There are times when I would have wanted a less....predictable....announcer, but there were times when he gave it a lot of energy.

I was queuing and did not hear him announce. Sir Charles is a great guy. He not only announced but he was the contact for the volunteers from all over the country before nationals. He lives in Atlanta and I spoke with him several times before I got to Atlanta. I must say Sir Charles went above and beyond for FIRST. He is one of the reasons things ran so smoothly. Thank You Charlie!

ok thats cool thanks! we could do somethign like if every team from newton send me at least one pic from there team or up to 3 we can have like a page for each team and through out the scrap book we can have all his quotes and we can have pictures of the netwon winners and stuff

Team 1102 loves him.

He did Peachtree and got caught up on a couple of phrases there as well.
Our team liked them as they sort of became a trademark like "Baby".

I recall he said "in the house" and "look out" a lot at Peachtree.

As I watched our matches again on video, he was quite reserved until Saturday, perhaps trying to save his voice. He knows the game; he did 100+ matches at Peachtree.

At Peachtree I happened to ride up the escalator with him before I knew who he was. He hoarsely said "I'm the announcer". I thanked him for volunteering and he was truly greatful that we liked him. I recall he said he is not a professional announcer.

If you want I will get his quotes from Peachtree and write them down for you.

He deserves a medal. At the Championships I hoped they would do a Mosh Pit when he came up in the stands.

Before anyone wants to be critical, think about whether you sat there and watched every match, much less called them in front of 6000 people.

I have the information on Sir Charles for you. I will PM you with it if you still plan on making the scrap book.
