They call ALL the games that way. It really makes you realize just how good our radio team is. There's no question who they're rooting for, but they never get into this sort of nonsense.I lost all respect for Stan White during that segment...total embarrassment showing his blind homerism.
I suspect that they are providing what the fans demand. In Columbus, the fans expect a similar homer POV. It is really hard to listen to.They call ALL the games that way.

Yep! Anything less than blind homerism and burning hatred for "Big Brother" is unacceptable to the West-Opelika CULT.I suspect that they are providing what the fans demand.

My vote is for Rob Ezell. He would be a hoot in the booth, maybe do some CNS impersonations.Another name someone at work mentioned that I hadn't given much thought: Jay Barker. He's been out of work since his WJOX morning show was not renewed. I thought he was bad for sports talk radio because he's too deferent when the very structure of the show was meant to feed into the Iron Bowl rivalry. Being able to unburden himself from having to play nice may allow him to find his voice on radio. He's a bad sports talk guy but maybe a top notch homer color commentator?

Christion is having a pretty nice career north of the border returning kicks for Saskatchewan.Wasn't Christian Jones pretty good with a microphone in his hands?
Click for article.The best college commentators don’t have to talk over every single play, but when they do have a point to make, they should be able to back it up, sell it and, when the occasion arises, come back and expand on it. If it is a former Alabama player — probably a good bet — mix it in with relevant experiences.
Chris is a play-by-play announcer like Eli. The color analyst is typicially an ex-player who has good knowledge of the game so I don't see Chris taking the position. Chris will be a great replacement for Eli when he retires.Personally I'd prefer to see/hear Chris Stewart. I like him, he's passionate about Alabama and he already has a good raport with Eli. If Eli is comfortable with you, I think that's a huge plus. I'd say he's earned his stripes on the pay-per-view, & then as the sideline reporter. No he's not really the sexy-big-name-splash-hire, but I'd like to think that Alabama fans would readily accept him in the booth alongside Eli, especially, since he's probably on the short list to replace Eli, whenever that is necessary...(hopefully not for another 30 years or so ). I'd actually prefer him over Barker, Schultz, JPW, or any of the others.
Bet Cecil knows. Obviously he won't burn his sources.Cecil didn't name any of the three names in contention for Phil's job, but did say the hiring could come by the end of the week, and tells why he thinks that. Good article.

I would be fine with any of those 3.Saw a guy on twitter saying he's heard three guys:
Mr. Classy, Barrett Jones
Tyler
Mike Johnson
Of the three, I would prefer Barrett, but I wonder how his jovial, even semi-sarcastic, approach at times would work with Eli. I think he'd be incredible with Chris down the line, but Eli seems very straight-up and particular.Nothing against Mike or Tyler, but for whatever reason, I suspect Barrett Jones.
Cecil suspects some news before practice starts on Aug. 2nd, so, at any rate, I guess we'll know in roughly a week or less.
