I lost the feed and only caught Lyn saying that this is Ben's last broadcast. Where is Ben going?

I’m assuming it’s bc the MLB schedule is starting and he’ll be doing the Orioles broadcasts. I just didn’t realize he was done this early in our season

You can't really blame them too much. Tennessee is hotter than salsa on a sunburn in July in El Paso right now

Hotter than 2 rats fricking in a wools sock in July.

Hotter than 2 Mexicans fricking in a pepper patch.

Tennessee is hotter than a medieval blacksmith working with metal in the Sahara Desert during the summer.

The best part of the Rally Possum game to me was Ben talking about eating a possum on a campout and how next time he would just wait and hit McDonalds on the way home. The other announcer (don't think it was Lynn) asked, "how'd you catch it? A trap or something?" Ben replied with a WTF do you mean tone saying "No. A shotgun" followed by awkward silence.

I fully expected a cancellation or apology tour since it was an ESPN broadcast. To this day, I can't find a video of that broadcast and I suspect ESPN scrubbed it due to the audio.

MLB Orioles and SEC Network games only going forward. Last broadcast with Lynn Rollins this year. He may do future LSU games for SECN w Kyle Peterson and company.

McDonald is great. He has improved so much as an analyst, and I love listening to him.

I enjoy him calling our games as well. His MLB schedule is going to keep him from calling anymore games is what it sounded like.

The regular season is halfway over at this point.

That was weird; he said doing LSU was his favorite but I guess the Orioles pay more.

I guess this means Lyn will be paired with Rantz the rest of the year.

I wonder if Ben will be commentating from his home and not Baltimore?
