Objection, Your Honor!

How can anyone testify about the personal thoughts of each and every Tiger Rant poster?

Did fine. Wasn't exactly a lot for him to do. Pretty boring game on both sides of the ball.

Having an elected state representative serve in the highly coveted role of public announcer for the flagship state university reeks of the appearance that the selection was quid pro quo.

The question I ask, what does he have to do to repay the privilege?

Short answer: You did fine Dixon. It’s not rocket science.

There was another gentleman that interviewed for the job that would have done a better job. He had experience and is brilliant individual with a distinct voice. Politics prevailed.

He did fine.
If we didn’t know it was Dixon, we’d all be saying yes he’s not Dan but he did fine.

The place was empty by the 3rd quarter
Why do some of you even act like you go

Complete lack of gravitas. He’s very meh. I know getting over Dan is going to be hard, but this guy sounds like he paid someone off for the position.

How he says “penalized” was really bothering me

Tell me you’ve never been to a game with Dan Borne without telling me

He did pronounce McDonalds as McDonald. Saying penal-ized reeked of him trying to be Borne. I had no idea who he was during the game, and looked it up afterwards. But, I noticed him way too often. He came off as showy, to me.

Again, just seemed like a fake person trying to mimmick Borne instead of being himself. Was not a fan. Hopefully he gets better.
