Y'all ready for some more Gary Danielson? Iron Bowl 2:30 CBS

[crimsonaudio]

I think Blackledge actually asked him what the heck he was talking about, there is a game going on, lol.

Yah, he did - IIRC it was overtime, not like a blowout that people weren't interested in...

Here’s the clip. It’s funny now.

Hmm ... not sure why that didn’t embed.

I am ready for some Gary Danielson....................... retirement LOL

I can't remember if that was before or after they interviewed some player on the US Women's soccer team for 5 solid minutes about the upcoming World Cup qualifiers in half a year, all the while the game was being played in the background.

LOL!! You could read a novel during most soccer games without missing anything meaningful on the field!

I'll take a CBS 3:30 eastern time game over a night game every Saturday especially when I have tickets to the game and it is in Tuscaloosa. That 82 drive back to Prattville is not fun at night, usually closest hotel I can find.

Ugh!

I was trying to stream a game once and it was weird because it had all the crowd noise but it only showed the game, including timeouts- there were no cutaways or commentary at all. I thought they had screwed up the feed or something but it turns out ESPN actually streams an alternative broadcast with zero production other than the cameras and crowd noise. It was actually really enjoyable and I found that the game seemed much less stressful.

Yes, it is the control center version I think. I remember watching one of the National championships that way. It was really nice.

As much as people fuss about Danielson, I actually think he's one of the best - at least among those currently working.

I don't particularly care that he usually cheers some for our opponents, but my sense is that he just wants to see a good game, not that he has any particular bias against us. A very DIFFERENT "Sense" than I got from Herbstreit during his three hour Clempson Love-Fest during the NC game last January. :mad2:

Danielson probably has a broader and deeper knowledge of the game than anyone else announcing these days.

To add fuel to the Danielson Hate fire. He was on a CBS Sports talk radio show this morning and made the following statement:

"If Alabama UPSETS Auburn and wins out they are automatically in the playoff."

What's the spread for the Iron Bowl?
I can't imagine Bama or the Barn losing this weekend, so I doubt there will be much movement on the spread between now and game time.

Alabama -3.5, but almost every analyst is picking Auburn. Alabama has been declared dead and buried by the media once again.

We coming, though.

I hope this ticks the team off as bad as it does me.

There's enough time until the Iron Bowl to get the talking heads so worked up they'll all have Alabama as the under dog. You watch, by the time the IB gets here the majority of the pundits will pick Auburn to win. I hope they do and I hope it leaks into the locker room.

 

[davefrat]

i think it's to our advantage to play there in the day rather than night.

My main gripe about him is he talks too much. He is as knowledgable as any, but he will not shut up for anything! I find myself saying "shut up" when he babbles on.

I wonder how many dead horses he has beaten in a single game.

 

[aldo]

Having Brad Nessler now in the booth has made Gary more bearable for me. Nessler is the best play-by play-guy in the business.

He is pretty good. Verne seemed like a clown at times.

This pleases me.

 

[4Q Basket Case]

I know I'm in the minority but I like Danielson.

I learn something every time I get to watch him, though that's admittedly not often.

Maybe that lack of repeated exposure is why his quirks don't bother me as much as they do some other posters.
