[CaliBornSoonerBred]

Bob Barry Sr. day falling on Cinco de Drinko??? Sounds like a good combo to me since most think he sounds drunk half the time anyways! Gotta love BBSr!

[olevetonahill]

[Flagstaffsooner]

Free hot dogs and beer at the Old Age Home.

[CatfishSooner]

screw bob barry & the horse he rode in on...

[texaspokieokie]

really nice folks on this thread.

[NCSooner18]

I'll celebrate when he retires.

[ndpruitt03]

I'll celebrate that if the next guy isn't so self indulgent like 99% of the announcers that are out there today. The only thing worse than listening to BBS on game day is listening to most ESPN/Fox crews.

[Soonerus]

Bob needs to do the honorable thing...resign from OU sports...

[CatfishSooner]

I wonder if he has found his hot dog yet? :D

[OUmillenium]

oh, i thought he was announcing his retirement...:(

beat me to it

[SteelClip49]

Merv Johnson will be the new voice!

[Stitch Face]

I need to do the honorable thing...resign from OU message boards...

Don't be so hard on yourself, Rus.

[unbiasedtruth]

One of the more decent men I have had the pleasure to know in my lifetime. Our families go back a long way in Norman.

Congrats Bob on your day in the sun!!!

[badger]

At this point I don't really care what he does, retirement-wise. I hardly ever listen to games on the radio, it's TV or in-person now... and inbetween, on the Internet with you boys.

[Soonerfan88]

Thanks for your service, Bob. Now keep your word from 2000 and RETIRE!!!

At this point, I believe money is the only thing that will oust him. If advertisers know that no one is listening specifically because of BBS, they won't buy commercials for the games. That leads to stations not carrying the games because they can't sell the ad spots because of BBS. That leads to Sooner Sports Properties losing money and Bob finally being replaced in the booth.

[IronHorseSooner]

I wonder who would take his place. Any guesses? For giggles, imagine a game called by Al Eschbach!

[SwitzerIsMyKing]

a bunch of *******s on here.

[badger]

I would vote for WWE's Jim Ross. This guy makes everything he watches exciting, including predetermined, choreographed sports! :D

[Stitch Face]

I want someone who will refer to the players' helmets as "bonnets."

[virginiasooner]

Oh, lay off BBS. If he's old, then my mother's old! After all, they went to Classen together!

[soonerloyal]

Woo-HOO! BOB BARRY DAY!!

Haw-HAW, h8ers!! :P

[ndpruitt03]

I would vote for WWE's Jim Ross. This guy makes everything he watches exciting, including predetermined, choreographed sports! :D

You think it's bad now wait till he has to do an unscripted sport. He would be good for interviews in post and pre game. I wouldn't mind SoonerSports having him do something like that. But for actual PBP he would be terrible.

The rumors for a long time were Bob Carpenter and Steve Davis for the next OU PBP group.

[IronHorseSooner]

Good, my Mom went to elementary school with Steve Davis. He's a class guy. I also like Bob Carpenter on the Sooner BBALL Tv Network.

[boomermagic]

I grew up listening to Bob Barry.. Bob was great at one time and deserves his day today.. I'm going to stop right there like more posters should have.. Congrats to BBS.. Thank you Bob..

I like him but he does look like an Osu fan..:D
