Sportcasters

Carey would rather listen to a broadcast from one of his favorite announcers than watch a game on television.

Carey's favorite announcers that are still active are Larry Munson (Georgia Bulldogs), Jack Cristil (Mississippi

State Bulldogs), and John Cox (USM Golden Eagles).  He grew up listening to Stan Torgersen (late 60s and

early 70s) calling Ole Miss games well before television broadcasts became so common.

Athlete

His favorite athlete of all time is the famous red-head from Drew, MS. named Archie Manning.
