No comment on his abilities, but he was a big LSU fan from way back. In his early days as a student and journalist in Chicago he claimed he could pick up LSU games on WWL (New Orleans) on his car radio so he became a big fan of LSU football that way.

Brent did fine.

Wasn't the best all the time, but who is?

Brent has been great the last few years. How can you not love all of his gambling references. He definitely makes the bottom tier SEC games entertaining.


I agree with this. I think he's been a lot better since he got paired with Jesse Palmer for the SEC games. They've been a good team.

I didn't care for him in the ABC Primetime slot, but now I think it's more a reflection of disliking Herbstreit's color commentary.

Thread's not going how you thought it would is it?

Brent's awesome, and if you disagree then you're wrong.

I think most LSU fans just hate everything.

Too bad. Every time he did an LSU-Ole Miss game, Billy Cannon would win the game!

in the day he was pretty good, got to be a real egomaniacal diva, thought he was what people were watching the broadcast for, which helped get his arse canned from CBS circa 1990, kind of toned it down a bit and became somewhat decent again for a while, but over the last few years became another blubbering, doddering, semi-senile old fart just like Verne, it is/was time

I met Brent this fall the Friday before Ole Miss outside Mike's habitat right after he passed. He said nothing compared to a gameday in Baton Rouge.

Will miss him

I always think of his call of the Tyrann Mathieu strip TD on the punt return against Oregon. "Takes it at the 5, loose, free ball, TOUCHDOWN LSU, MATHIEU!"

Jesus, man. That was 9.5 years ago.

I'll miss Brent's drunk ramblings and slurred speech.

"Green, in motion, has got great speed...looking for the corner, got the first down...GOT IT TURNED! HERE HE COMES! THE TRACK MAAAAN...FOR THE GAME'S FIRST TOUCHDOWN!"

"STILL ON HIS FEET! TOUCHDOWN VINCENT! AMAZING PERFORMANCE!"
