The Newton Field's Announcer (quite the character, baby!)

I dont care what people say…some people liked him and some people didnt. I liked him he came from thursday not knowing much about the game to getting into it and even very disappointed when Newton got knocked out. Sir Charles did a awesome job and i have alot of respect for him from his great performance this weekend

OMG! That guy was so funny! I loved PAW’s 710…Baby sign. On a serious note though, I have so much respect for anyone who is willing to volunteer. I have even more respect for someone willing to put themselves out there and risk public embarrasment. He tried hard and I’ll tell you one thing now, he had me laughing the whole time. I have just one thing to say to him if he’s on the forums. Thank you so much, you were great!

Yea Sir Charles was awesome, the vast improvement from Thursday to Saturday was great. The one thing i remember most is in the eliminations how much he got into it and got many teams in the stands on their feet cheering on there teams…Yea some people may not like his style…but to me he was great baby!!holllaaa!!!

Sir Charles was great, although he didnt kno much about the game at first he started to really get into it durin the last matches. Some ppl may have gotten tired of all the “its hook up time baby…baby…heloooo” but it just added more excitement to the matches.

“There are now 180 POSSIBILITIES on the field!”
That guy was awesome. I liked his announcing. I was very amused when Gary Dillard (from 180) and I bearhugged him when he went into the crowd during finals. Very good times. I hope he sticks with the program and comes back to volunteer next year.

I actually have video of the whole time when he went into the stands and you and some others bearhugged him…good times good times…I’ll see what i can do on uploading that.

" Let’s get it certified! Let’s Get it certified! "

" Ohh Baby Its been Certified! "

" I got you baby… I got you "

" Show me your number so I can get you a shout out "

He may have been a bit annoying on the webcast… but in stadium he was truely amasing. He got the crowd going and they never quieted down. I have never seen soo much love for an announcer from any field at any competition. ( 4 years of nats and regionals ) When you were on the field he would pump you up and get your addrenaline flowing. He was one of my favorite announcers.

It’d be great if he came back, but y’all might have scared him a little with that hug. The full Mike can be a bit intimidating… One of my favorites would have to be the fact that he started refering to the drivers as “special teams.” well, y’all are a little bit special.

I had the pleasure of walking around the dome a few times with him Wednesday before the volunteer check-in. He is a very nice guy, excited about FIRST … (everything, really). I had a good time, and all we were doing was walking around looking for an entrance. Too bad I missed his announcing :frowning:

i didnt see him in the field actually bc i was in archimedes, but the videos i saw in that division and the most thing he said that i loved is “theyre goin for da hook up baby!”

Someone one our team actually started keeping a tally of how many times he said his phrases like “Going for the hook up”, and I think in a span of 3 or 4 matches he said baby 37 times :slight_smile: I personally thought he was great, it’s a lot better to have an enthusiastic announcer that gets the crowd pumped. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to say “raising the bar” again without thinking of his announcing, which is a good thing :]

“Is it certified baby, O its verified Baby.”
“Its not over till its over, O its over baby”

I liked him even though he was a BIT repeditive he was funnie and energetic. He kept people awake at least.

Sir Charles, Amanda Morrison, Brandon Martus and I spent about an hr or so trying to find a way around the Georgia Dome Wednesday afternoon trying to find a place to get the volunteers in. At first I thought he was giving us the tour, but later I found out he was giving the tour while touring himself :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyway, he’s a cool guy and hilarious!

this guy was great… the first day i didnt know what to think, but come saturday i couldnt get enough. i actually counted him saying baby 9 times in one match… but i was only able to watch a few. did anybody count him saying baby more than 9???

If you need some space to upload it to, drop me a PM

While I didn’t stop by to watch a match at the dome, Sir Charles was the announcer at the peachtree regionals as well and was great there.http://www.allthewrongstuff.com/funny/thumbsup.jpg

yeah he was cool!!! the bear hugging was def. funny-- and now on S.P.A.M. the joke is everythign ends with a baby-- so it’s all good baby! hope he’s back next year-- it is cool to have fun annoucers not boring ones obviously

Select members of my team could only speak using words that had come from his mouth. I think that Sir Charles will be one person that we remember for YEARS to come.

This is a programmers dream!
IN THE A-T-L BABY! HELLO!!!
You know that that means! Hello!

adding to what ryan said…i think we got 64 “baby”'s in 4 matches…that’s 16 a match. i loved him.

You know, at first I kind of got irritated by the repetativeness (HELLO!), but then it really started to grow on me. But I didn’t realize how much he really motivated the crowd until I went to the other three stages and witnessed how dry they seemed… After that, I really really really dug his announcing. HELLO! WELCOME TO THE A-T-L BABY!

He did get compliments from Dave Lavery, TechTV, CNN, and many others, too. I was hoping they would have asked him to do Einstein, because he was that awesome, but they didn’t.

Oh yeah, and I’m the guy standing on the left side of the picture. I’m guessing it was taken during the Newton finals.
