I think you are talking about Vic Jacobs. He was in Austin for a year or two. I remember him.Off topic but all of this Brick-talk reminded me of Nick the Brick who used to be a sports anchor on Austin TV (Channel 36 I think)
He used to throw a rubber or styrofoam brick at the camera at the close of his segment
Any else old enough to remember this guy?
I always thought he represented the zenith of local Austin news

Lol uh oh oops we did it again
Vic once did a pre-Arkansas Game broadcast from inside a meat packing plantOh yea, Nick & his foam brick.
Lol didn't they revise his bio on Wikipedia? LolBrick would have announced he was staying earlier, but the aggys had not finished with the video they were making for him.
Approximately what year was that...do you remember? Or your best guess as to the range of years?Vic once did a pre-Arkansas Game broadcast from inside a meat packing plant
He was dressed up in full butcher gear -- including goggles and a white hard hat (which he affixed a Horn sticker to)
Was screaming into his microphone from directly above the pork grinder
Pigmeat was squirting out as he screamed "Texas is gonna grind the Piggies!"
You just dont get local sports broadcasts like that anymore
I wish it was youtubed so I could show y'all
Vic Jacobs moved to Denver and then LA I believe and continued as a sportscaster. He was on an ESPN 30/30 documentary I saw, was interviewed about a sports celeb they were reporting on. I'll always remember him saying " you want the brick? You want the brick" prior to gunning it at the camera. I think he died a few years ago?I think you are talking about Vic Jacobs.

Mid-80s somewhereApproximately what year was that...do you remember? Or your best guess as to the range of years?
Yep. But that makes me old enough to forget him, too. Hmmmm, I don't seem to recall....Off topic but all of this Brick-talk reminded me of Nick the Brick who used to be a sports anchor on Austin TV (Channel 36 I think)
