Friday Thoughts is a light-hearted commentary.
Last week, the Hornets played their last home basketball games and with it ends another year of Hornet Hoops excitement at White Auditorium.
Part of that excitement comes from Ron Thomas and the emcee work he does during the game. But when I hear Ron at games, I am always struck by how different the personality is from his morning radio show.
During the week on the radio, Ron is mild-mannered and never really raises his voice to entertain audiences. But during Hornet games, Ron uses this loud dramatic booming voice to get the crowd excited.
This makes me wonder — what would Ron’s morning show sound like if he used his basketball voice?
I bet some listeners who like to wake up slowly with his radio show might really appreciate that jolt of fanaticism first thing in the morning.
