What do y'all expect - he's from Tennessee. For the past few decades, everything related to college football from that state has an orange stench.
You're weird, man! :biggrin2:I don't mind Mack Brown or Tuberville..There I said it. I can't stand Herbsteit he talks way too much, Todd Blackedge and Brad Nessler were my favorites. Beth Mowins is not so bad.
I agree Todd and Brad are pretty good. The list of good ones are real short these, I see the problem as there are to many exjocks. Nothing against them but they do not have broadcast experience. In the old days the announcers had been doing games for years before getting to this level. Nothing replaces a lot of microphone time. You get to work your craft. The biggest issue with ex players and coaches is they are not announcers, they have almost zero experience then put on National TV. Not easy to be smooth and sound smart when just tossed into the deep end. I do not blame them but the TV execs who put rookies in the big leagues.I don't mind Mack Brown or Tuberville..There I said it.

Eli GoldI really like Gary. It amazes me that out of 500 or 600 announcers not one of them is liked. Go ahead, name one .... then stand by for the "I can't stand him" and "he is terrible" and so forth.

While I like Eli Gold, I must admit that he isn't a great radio announcer.Eli Gold
I watched part of a game two weeks ago where neither announcer gave the score, seldom gave the position on the field, but both of them prattled on and on about nothing. A little of that goes a long way. (Seinfeld, over and over again)While I like Eli Gold, I must admit that he isn't a great radio announcer.
His enthusiasm is great and he does a great job on big plays, especially, but it's often hard to tell the difference between a two, five, or 15 yard run. And he's generally terrible at what should be his primary responsibility - keeping the listener appraised of the down and distance, field position, and time on the clock.

I used to watch sometimes just to see how long it would take him to work around to it. Just wait for a discussion about a QB to come up...if he called a Bama game what do think the over/under would be for him mentioning Colt?
I have a solution put all 3 on NFL monday night football. There would be no chance of me ever listening to them and they could help the great NFL tv ratings.I used to despise hearing him give interviews, especially on the field pre-game, halftime, etc. His interviews during the 2009 title game made me want to jump through the screen and strangle the life out of him before he muttered another syllable. He's 10 times worse now that he's an analyst. Tuberville sucks too by the way. Its a 3 horse race between him, Brown, and Mowins for most annoying but I'd have to go with Brown for the win, Mowins to place, and Tuberville to show.

gary who, I know you are not speaking of Danielson, he is why I watch most Bama games with no volumeGary is one of the best!
Full banjeaux for youHe would be a much better analyst if Colt hadn't gotten hurt.
