Who are the most blatantly biased announcers and who are they biased for?

I'll start: Gary Danielson-SEC (esp. Florida). Followed by Brent Musburger (USC/Notre Dame).

I always like it when JVG does a Rockets game. He is always pretty one sided in our favor

Nothing compares to Musberger and his lovefest with USC. He singlehandedly made it hard to watch the Rose Bowl today.

Dick Vitale is a close second, but at least he is equally biased for Duke and UNC.

Gary Danielson - SEC


How is he biased? He only covers SEC games doesn't he?

Not really. He's normally pretty good. He was just playing around with Brent Burger today because he had to.

no crap, and he played at Purdue so I don't think he has SEC bias.

Danielson basically has a hard on for the whole SEC East. The Georgia-LSU game was ridiculous

Keith Jackson towards the end of his career got pretty bad in his mancrush on Pete Carroll

The Rose Bowl had some of the most biased commentating I have ever witnessed.

Danielson is a great announcer. If you know anyone who's better at what he does in college football, feel free to "announce" it.

He's biased for Florida.

They're a pretty good team -- played pretty well last few years, so the announcers probably have good things to say about them...sheesh
