his years of service as PA announcer.
Some liked him and some didn't but he was definitely unique.

take him, please, seriously. He will make Flick a distant memory to you.

Sundance Kid: I've been there already. Butch Cassidy: We could fight - they'll stay right where they are and starve us out. Or go for position, shoot us. Might even get a rock slide started, get us that way. What else can they do? Sundance Kid: They could surrender to us, but I wouldn't count on that. |

Love him or hate him, he was unique to MSU sports. And like others have said, he was not bad at all when it came to hoops. I liked his football style. I hope
the new guy keeps it as simple and to the point as him, just without the cracking voice of a teenager.

not so much in basketball. He obviously didn't have the typical PA announcer voice, but he had fun with it. I'll miss hearing his introduction before
doing the starting lineups.

Love him or hate him on the PA mike, Hank Flick is a first class individual and a great teacher. I remember more from his classes than all the others I took
at MSU combined.
I wonder what he'll do on Saturdays now. For 35 years it's been either announcing MSU sports or watching Mid South Wrestling on the Memphis TV station! Thanks Hank! |

It sure looks like it, but is the avatar Rudy hitting the game winner Halloween night? I was at that game. It was awesome.
Flick, no fan of his at DW. No problem at the Hump. Never met the guy & don't know him personally. vhdawg is right. His lack of ability to give somewhat updated scores during a time out was freakin' unbelievable.

He was DEFINETLY unique and to some degree will miss his voice during football because that is the only PA announcer I can remember for football and I have
been going to games since about 1973.
on the other hand, I am looking forward to having someone with a PA announcer voice.....just hope we get one! |

I hate to hear a PA announcer who thinks he is a play-by-play announcer. I am at the stadium. I don't need you to tell me that "_______ rushed to the
right side". I think basketball is where Flick will be missed the most.

No thanks. He gives fat bastards a bad name, and would probably rather have an insect put in a box with him before he recognized MState as having an athletic
program.

As others have said, great professor and a great guy. I learned a lot from his class.
I, for one, enjoyed him as the PA announcer for both football and basketball. I haven't been back to the Hump in a while, but I can still hear him saying: "A good, good evening and welcome to the Humphrey Coliseum on the campus of Mississippi State University for an evening of baaaaasketball.... Mississippi State style!"

You mix Jersey/Maryland reject guido douchebags with three-eyed cromagnon appalachian coal children, and you get the worst that the land of the free, home of the brave has to offer.

Bad move... Flick is much of a traditional figure at MSU as Jack Cristil or Jim Ellis. Like him or not, he's unique, and he IS Mississippi State. It's tradition, it's who I listened to at EVERY game all my life. |

I am opening the door for bashing, but I have to share my dislike for Hank as a person.
When I was at State, Dr. Flick spoke at a one of my club meetings. As many of you know, he can not stand the city of Pearl. He started bashing Pearl and said "Pearl women drive 4-wheel drive trucks and chew tobacco, so don't stop beside them at a red light or they'll spit on you." I thought I would inform Hank that I was from Pearl, to which he replied "then I am talking about your Mama." It took everything I had to keep my cool, but I lost all respect for him that day. Let the Pearl bashing begin. |

because people from Pearl need all the help they can get. You might want to quietly signal some others there at the library with you to come assist you with
some of the big words.
