He and Jim Thacker were quite a team doing ACC games back in the 70’s to the 90’s. Billy Packer was a excellent guard in college at Wake Forest and was very knowledgeable of the game but like Rece Davis the other night he did not have a lot of love for Carolina basketball 🏀.

He was a positive influence on many Saturdays of my youth during the “Sail with the Pilot” broadcast so I will pay him respect and appreciate what he did week after week during the season and may he rest in peace….
