Ilkin, Hillgrove Ask PSR For Retirement Nod


In Copesque fashion Steeler broadcasters Tunch Ilkin and Bill Hillgrove have asked PSR to provide the official notification as to when it is time for each to step away from the mic. Upon Mr. Hillgrove's retirement the Bankers Club company has already announced that it will issue a commemorative tequilla bottle. The bottle will feature famous "groveisms" such as:
- "That was a gain of 7, Jerome Bettis up the middle for the Steeler first down, wait, pardon me, that was a loss of 12 with Tim Worley on the end-around"
- "Pete Gonzalez back to pass, TOUCHDOWN Panthers, no its coming the other way, picked off, who has the ball?"
- and Pitt basketball classics such as "Sean Miller for three, it's in! No, it's out!"
