Do the old-timers still do it that way? (Are these the same old-timers that still use the shirts with byron collars, and wear belts? Maybe something to consider...)

"Everyone" used to think the world was flat, too. Just sayin'.
It's just easier for me, I had a bad mojo with my throat and Blue, Black, Red, white roll off easier. Old habit I guess, selling "ORANGE" and pointing just doesn't do it for me.

When I started assocation said, keep it 1 syllable. Moved to a different part of the country, one night calling a purple team blue all game just as I always did. Halftime home team AD came in the locker room and ask, "Your eyes okay?" I was taken back, we really hadn't had any close calls, "What do you mean?" Well the visiting team's jerseys are purple not blue, some people are thinking your eyes might be bothering you.

Now I just call it like I see it.
