Don't let the door hit you...

I already mentioned this in the Linklog, but it's too joyously wonderful to not get a mention here in the main blog as well. Indeed, this may be the best news I've heard since Hillary Clinton didn't win the nomination. Billy Packer's reign of terror is finally, finally over:

College basketball commentator Billy Packer, who has announced 34 consecutive Final Fours on network television and created a few controversies along the way, will not be returning to CBS for a 28th season, The Miami Herald has learned.

CBS has decided to replace Packer, 68, with studio analyst Clark Kellogg on its lead announcing team.

HIP, HIP, HOORAY!!!! (Hat tip: B. Minich.)

A few of my previous posts about Packer:

• Billy Packer and Jim Nantz are IDIOTS
• Still baffled about Air Force, still miffed at Nantz and Packer
• Billy Packer-bashing: let the hate continue!
• Blatant lie of the day
• Billy Packer sucks, but is he homophobic?

Oh, and let's not forget, my old blog had an entire category dedicated in part to Billy Packer's suckitude.

So yeah... I'm happy to see him go. Very happy. Good riddance, Billy. College basketball won't miss you, and it will be infinitely better without you there to debase its "shining moment" each year with your arrogant, ignorant, joyless, self-important, buffoonish boobery.
