Thoughts on Verne Lundquist

Never been a Verne basher, but I felt compelled to evaluate what I see has a sharp decline in the old man's ability to call a game correctly. HIs voice is still very good and I have never been bothered by his style. he generally doesn't pull for one team or the other but gets excited appropriately for big plays. He clearly has issues now processing information as it happens and it is effecting the chemistry with Danielson.
he is also bringing up stuff that has no bearing on the game or has been repeated so often on every broadcast that it takes away from the game. Verne had 27 mistakes by my count on the re-watch of the broadcast. Danielson's frustration also came through a couple of times because of it.
I think its time to put this man out to pasture from major broadcasts. He was great for a long time but he can't keep up anymore. I like him but its time to go

The day that they can uncle Verne is the day I start watching cbs with the sound on again.

Time for him to put the mic down......

They should hire Ron Franklin.

would love to see Ian Eagle or another established (non-ego driven) PbP man take that spot. Danielson would be much better with someone who knows how to set him up and think along with him.

He would be the first eaten after a plane crash in the Alps

Danielson isn't all that good either, though. but maybe he would get better with a better PbP guy.

Verne and Danielson are horrible.

I like him posted up at the 13th hole at the Masters

He is an abomination.
I dont hate him. He is just awful at his job. The only reason he has the job is because of who he is. Thats whats wrong with America.

Danielson is one of the best in the business.

Interesting contribution! Who do you like in the booth?

My ears hurt when I listen to Vern. How is he not dead yet?
Posted on 10/14/13 at 10:30 am to Tiger Ryno
he always interrupts Gary to spew some incorrect bullshite. Gary is usually spot on, so yea, he gets frustrated when he's interrupted so Verne can shout something completely wrong
Posted on 10/14/13 at 10:31 am to Tiger Ryno
He couldn't even figure out who happy Gilmore was. He's lost it for awhile.
Posted on 10/14/13 at 10:32 am to Tiger Ryno
How/when did Gary get frustrated? What did he say?

Gary did seem to get a little irritated a few times with him Saturday.
I would imagine Verne also ticked off the producer for guffawing loudly when they put 1st and 99 on the screen

The broadcast is supposed to be the prime match-up of what is right now, the best conference in the country. CBS is the big boy and its broadcast should reflect that. Verne has had an admirable career but he screws things up more often than not. Its time to replace him with someone on top of his game.
