Gary Danielson - Good Riddance

In the 2021 Iron Bowl, Gary said a player hurt "the same left ankle".....as opposed to, you know, his other left ankle.......

If I were speaking live to an audience, I would be saying things like this all the time. The thought process would start out as 'same ankle' then proceed to want to include more detail like 'left ankle' but the words are already coming, so you get an awkward phrasing. The meaning is clear enough, and nothing is gained by spending time to think of the perfect phrasing. Now that I think on it some more, it is a pretty concise way to express a specific reinjury.

Nessler's a good one. When he was teamed with Blackledge they were my fav crew.
Mine, too.

I liked Blackledge's Taste of the Town at halftime. But I think a case of the Verne's is catching up with Nessler. He's missing where the plays stop, and having to correct himself a lot more often now. At least he's not butchering player names, though.

I remain convinced that having to pronounce 'Tua Tagovailoa' was a major factor in Verne's decision to retire the football booth and just stick to golf.

Yes, I always made it a point to see Todd's Taste of the Town.

From a production stand point, CBS is leaps and bounds above ESPN when it comes to college sports. I can't remember the last time I listened to any broadcaster in any sports, they all suck imo.
 
In the game this past weekend, he asked if one of our players stepped out of bounds. He was 5 yards from the sideline.
The reason he asked that was because the defense gave up on him, which would have been justified if he had run out of bounds. He was searching for a reason for such an egregious miscue, but there was none other than the defender blew his assignment.
 
Yeah, that seems to be the biggest issue (to me at least) with Gary. He latches onto a few things early in a game and just builds his entire commentary around it, to the point of OCD-ish, repeating it like Raymond in Rainman. Lol

If I remember correctly, when that lame holding call took back what should have been TD #2, Gary's first comment was "there's your make up call" for the missed facemask.
