Slightly OT but Petros Papadakis was one of my favorite Pac football announcers.
I thought was witty, self-effacing, and just enjoyable to listen too. He seems very fair to Cal, too, and I recall him usually having good things to say about Berkeley and the Bears, despite transferring out of Cal after a short stint.
I don't know what Petros has been up to in recent years, but I hope he's still announcing somewhere...
His day job is as a host for a LA area radio show from 2-6p Mondays through Fridays. As much as he speaks highly about Cal, he's much more of a USC homer, though. That said, he is catering to a LA audience, which (prior to the return of the Rams to LA) had only the USC Trojans as the local professional football team for about 20 years.
Yeah, so many lame announcers, but he is a good one. I believe he has said that he regrets bailing on Cal.
