My wife detests Verne but he has grown on me over the years. Several years back I'd get so agitated when he mispronounced a bama player's name for the fifth time in a single broadcast. However, over the years I've begun to see it as a quirky characteristic of CBS broadcasts and it's kinda fun how excited they get anytime one of Bama's opponents ever does anything successful against us. Then a few minutes later the domination continues and they go back to their script. I going to say I will miss him but he will be remembered for his many goof ups.
