Not for nothin'... Skip had a great radio voice. Seemed like a level headed guy.
Shields, you were always pretty good with the RU trivia-how many times did you win free tickets from WRSU? Had to have been at least 2-3 times.
Do explain. Shields/Mark from Branchburg and I were from Bridgewater. Still living feet from the border of Bridgewater.
Where was WBRW located (when I think of such I think of Somerset County Vo-Tech). I remember they used to have a big drawing for a car at the 4-H Fair each year. The Mother of one of my classmates won one summer.
Haha, it just popped into my head, not RU basketball related. Nimitz street was where the station was. (Had to look that up, I knew which group of roads but wasnt sure exactly which. I remember couple farms back in there that appear to be gone) technically Bridgewater address I believe but very close to Somerville border. Right near the train tracks. Used to be a good place to get into trouble with the farms and not many houses back there at the time.
Yep, I think he was also in the athletic department (affiliated with the baseball team in some way, iirc) aftewards. He was very good on WRSU, but he was often a pain in the ass as caller, "MikeFromWestOrange," even though he was very knowledgable. I recall getting in "arguments" with him (i.e., I'd argue against the points he had just made), as I was a somewhat regular caller in the late 80s and 90s.
Same shtick as poster MikeFromWO and then MikeFromLV - I think he got banned for some political nonsense on the CE board several years ago. I'd be surprised if he isn't a current poster under a different name.
By the way, Knightline is still on...

I dont know..every time I have turned it on after a game they seem to be playing Indian music
I've heard it once or twice, but I don't really check, so maybe it's an occasional thing.
Not near Vo-Tech. In the Finderne section of bwater. Off main street, on side the Raritan River is on.
Geez, I lived in Bridgewater 47 years (still a few hundred feet away) and never knew the Raritan bordered Bridgewater.
Favorite moment from Knightline was in 1976 when the announcers speculated about all the great HS players that Tom Young would now recruit after that great season.
Rutgers basketball was going to be changed forever with the influx of elite players
and soon become a dominant program.
Unfortunately, 40 years later, none of this came true.
