Gary & Vern vs. Herbstreit & Musberger

Hopefully I'm at the game so it won't matter, but I don't like the idea of Herbie & Musberger calling the game, don't mind Herbie but hate Musberger. He never knows our players names, doesn't call SEC games normally, and is a Big 10/Pac-12 homer.
I would prefer Gary & Vern call the game over Herbstreit & Musberger.

Unfortunately we've heard them so much it wont feel right to have Bama biased Herbie call our game

Just wait til LSU is running out the clock and they agree that "there's a team out there in Los Angeles that NOBODY including this LSU team wants to play right now."

It's ESPN, so your riding on Herbstreit.
Musberger sucks beyond belief, and Vern is equally as bad. Out of the four of them, GD is the best, easily. He's the most prepared, it's usually hard to tell who (if) he's pulling for, and he knows the names of the players and provides insight into their personalities. Herbstreit and GD are both equally guilty of the cardinal sin of broadcasting, which is picking a topic and returning to it, regardless of what the game produces.
Tell you the truth, there really isn't a commenetator (either play by play or color) that compares to Jim Henderson, in any league, in any sport, on any level, IMO.

I try not to listen to the analysts anyway, but ESPN broadcast are not even close to CBS. You are lucky to get 1 replay per play and half the time you dont get that.
CBS on the otherhand must have 50+ cameras at each game and show a replay on pretty much every play.

No shite huh? That is 100% Musburger. Even when I read to myself it was in his voice in my head

Verne & Gary are the two best in the business

Russell shepard reels in about a 30 yarder from JJ.
Vern - "INTERCEPTED"
Long awkward silence....................................................
Vern - "NOOOOO, caught by Russell Shepard.
How about Herbstreit in the West Virginia game when LSU throws a play action pass on 3rd &1.
Lee, Play action
Herbstreit - Ooooooo?????????

Vern sucks and is lazy. His calls on Reid's INT and Shep's catch showed who he was pulling for. Last years game was the same way. Gary on the other hand, is excellent and understands play design like no other.

I don't think people realize how great Mike Tirico is. Dude knows His facts, the game, and almost never inaccurately calls a play.

thanks for the laughs. I can even hear Brent saying it.
as luck and fortune have it, soon USCw will be short 10 players.
then they will be short 20 players.

mike is the man

Tirico is money, gotta give you that. So is CJG.
I have just never heard Henderson miscall a play, and I suppose the fact that he is a team announcer alleviates the need for being unbiased.
He's above and beyond the competition, IMO.

Brad Nessler & Todd Blackledge are the best in the business right now IMO.
