Bring back Ron Franklin. Maybe they can find a "sweet baby" sideline reporter as well.

though he'll never call our games i like gus johnson bc i like 3 yard gains to sound like the goddamn bluegrass miracle.

i like nessler, blackledge, i actually kinda like gary but the game has passed verne by.

i like herbstreit as a color guy. flutie was decent.

who's the blond dude that does like C or D level games for espn that maybe used to play QB for washington? if you can get over the fact that he looks like an 80's teen movie bad guy i actually like what he says.

I think its a consensus that LSU fans can tolerate Ron Franklin/ Gotfried back in the day...

Millen is terrible. I have a friend in Detroit and he swears there are numerous contracts on Millens life there, worst GM in the history of the league, but ESPN will take you!

Brock Huard. I agree, he's pretty good.

Is all the hate because Matt Millen is the black one?

Millen is a consistent leader in Awful Announcing's Pammie Awards list. (List of worst announcing moments of the week in College Football)

Tessitore is fine, but Matt Millen is absolutely atrocious and unbearable. Might have to either get extra drunk or just put this bitch on mute.

Matt Millen is in that rarefied air with Dan Dierdork and ... well, that's about it.

Those are the 2 worst color commentators on the planet. (special honorable mention to retired Joe Theismann)

Matt Millen is to football analysis what Lou Tepper is to the sideline whiteboard -- it's worst ambassador.

I remember Matt Millen as a decent analyst for nfl games on CBS back in the day before he became a GM. Maybe it's because I know what an absolute idiot he is because of that stint in Detroit, but I don't like listening to him.
