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

of Dr. Flick speaking at an engagement. Except mine ends with him being a nice guy and great speaker throughout the whole evening. And I've heard nothing
but good things from people who took his classes. But we all agreed on one thing: could have used a few good Pearl jokes.

It is kind of wierd to have a Pearl guy correcting your spelling isn't it? Sarcasm or not, calling out someone's mom as a school representative in a
school sponsored event was a little much for me.

I dont really know what youre talking about alex4dogs but Flick is probably the funniest teacher on states campus, if you lost respect for Flick I am sure it
wont bother him one bit. But its ok buddy not everybody has a good sence of humor its probably not your fault...but once again you are from Pearl

sucks Donkey Balls and Pearl takes the money shot. He was dead on about the women in pearl. Fact is that fits most of Rankin county. The only one I can think
of that would be worse is Smith County, the former home of the Tobacco Spitting World Championships in downtown Raleigh.

I'm tired of Flick too but come on. The whole Pearl thing was part of his gimmick/shtick. Let it go.

Cause everybody knows that if you're from Pearl, you are either trash or picking it up on the side of the highway.
My first wife was from Pearl and she is living proof that Hank Flick was probably right about your mother. Oh No! We Suck Again! |

Awesome professor. Never really cared for him either way at football games, but at the Hump...He just brought something unique and special. "A good, good
evening and welcome to Humphery Coliseum on the campus of Mississippi State University for an evening of BASKETBALL! Mississippi State Style! ... It's
something defining that I'll always associate with MSU athletics.

Pearl at least has Bass Pro Shops and the M-Braves.
Your favorite sports team scores a game tying point, you find a dollar in the street, you see someone you hate get their ass kicked in public, all of these blissful moments deserve, nay, demand the most communal of public displays of pleasure: The Landshark. |

Check into it.
Besides that, he was right anyway.

I used more from Flick's class | #36 | ||
|
Posts: 7 04/20/09 04:46 PM |
than any other class I took at MSU. I still use nuggets of wisdom from his class to this day. He was Parlimentarian of the SA Senate when I served on it
and he rocked. Flick's deal was to give everyone a nickname. If Flick didn't have a nickname for you, you weren't somebody.
Remember one night during an exhibition game we were playing some team with tons of Europeans and he went through pronouncing some guy's name that was about 20 letters long.....after he stumbled through it he said over the microphone "You think this is Easy?" hilarious moment. |

Talking about his nicknames here are a few I remember.......
"LSU's Best Friend" Reginald Boykin. So named after hitting free throws at the end of games 2 years in a row to beat the Tigers. "Top Gun" Tony Watts Cameron "Smoke" Burns Robert " The Horse " Woodward, inside joke, the guy was WELLLL endowed. "Downtown" Todd Merritt "The Mighty Dawg" Chuck Evans Horatio "The Big Train" Webster, "ALL ABOARD..... The BIG TRAIN..... "Known as the Sheriff around these parts" Russ- Sell Walll-TERS "Super D" Daryl Wilson And two great intros he gave to opposing players........ "Pretty Boy" Joe Harvell from Ole Miss, after somebody on State's team said Harvell was the ugliest man he had ever seen. "The Man Child" Shaquille O'Neal, Shaq's first game as a 17 year old freshman at the Hump

Hilarious man. Had him for Small Group Communications - which I guess is ironic since he was our PA guy.
I always enjoyed his BET late night recaps about the girls shaking their asses and "dropping like it's hot". I think his greatest nugget of wisdom was urging the guys in the class to wear dark slacks when they got jobs. His logic was that dark slacks hid piss dribble better than khaki. And nobody wants to walk around with piss on their pants. I have to agree. He should write a book... |

The Hank Flick I have known since I was in school wouldn't make fun of you | #40 | ||

Posts: 750 04/20/09 05:55 PM |
if he didn't like you. He gave everyone shit. Even after I graduated and came back for functions when Dr. Forde took over, Flick would still give me at
least one zinger when he saw me.
I hate his tenure as an announcer is over but at least he is still teaching. Definitely one of my favorite instructors and I still use some of the stuff I learned in his class.
