Whether or not I'll sound stupid , I couldn't care less but my question is why do the announcers collect so much hate from the rant? Or anywhere else for that matter. Maybe I haven't paid much attention to them but are there maybe certain comments they've made or what?

Verne is a goof. He just babbles. He talks so there's no dead "air" even if it makes absolutely no sense.


Danielson, on the other hand, knows what he's talking about. He calls it like he sees it.


Danielson is one of the best in the business.

This.^

I personally dismiss any of his opinions due to the fact that he is so arrogant that he REFUSES to refer to us as LSU (after being asked numerous times to please stop calling us "Louisiana State")

Whaaaaa? I have Verne's crisp pronunciation of "...ELL...ESS...YOU..." etched in in my brain forever.

not sure if serious?

I was at the Florida game, so didn't notice if he gave in or not. However, I vividly remember hearing "Louisiana State" on multiple occasions for the UGA game.

I was at both, so I can't say

But he says LSU way more than you are trying to make us think.

Why the hell does him saying the full name bother you so much? And do you have proof of the "after being asked countless times" comment? Because I'm calling BS

Hyper-sensitive rantards...
Similar to the ESPN supposed hatred of LSU...

There is no reason for it at all.

Verne is getting old so he makes a few mistakes...Danielson is great. They are fair, complimentary and show teams the proper respect.
The bitterness around the Louisiana state vs LSU thing is especially stupid....who has repeatedly told him not to use our full name? Why would the administration even care one way or another?

Danielson is arrogant, that's what makes him so hard to listen to.

Yeah, don't get the rant hatred of this. Yeah, yeah, I understand the "branding," but it is our name. And I doubt Verne has been asked repeatedly one way or the other.

I think Danialson is a ventriloquist or a Vern-lundquist and Verne is the dummy. So its easier saying Louisiana State without moving your lips.

I don't have a problem with Verne, Gary on the other hand bothers me.

Gary knows his stuff.

What I don't like is the number of times they bring up the use of the word "roommate".

Take that crap to the ULL board. I think you are the only one offended by this.

They are irritating both of them , neither is the best at anything their bias toward everyone we play is just disgusting to hear. I leave the volume up but block them out most of the time. Example of them calling the game....

Verne/Damielson.....TOUCHDOWN GEORGIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Verne/Danielson.... and hill in for the score

Also, I'll requote myself from a previous thread:

"Verne always pulls against my team."
- Signed - fans of every SEC team.

I like the Verne and Gary combo, although Verne is making more and more mistakes. That said, I think it's the best crew and production out there. Gary is spot-on when talking x's and o's.

The production crew and cameras are great. The ABC and ESPN crews will occasionally miss penalties and fail to show replays of key plays and/or penalties. CBS is always right there with a replay, and Danielson is right there with an analysis. He criticizes and praises as necessary.

Verne is a total RETARD! Half the time he doesn't even know who is playing. Danielson calls it like he sees it.
