The OP doesn't like when Verne says Louisiana State University. And I don't either, to be honest.
That is crazy. On the level of ULL people getting pissed when they are called Louisiana-Lafayette.

Verne sucked! How he lasted as long as he did is amazing?

On a side note, brad and Gary may be the best duo ever assembled in sports.
I'm pretty pumped.

The first time he shows even a whiff of enthusiasm when Bama makes a big play tRant will label him a homer and hate his guts. Book it.

Agreed. IMO they helped make big Thursday night games on ESPN a thing.

I don't think he put any thought into it, he was just trying to fill time. It's a lazy announcer habit, just like some say "national football league" instead of NFL. They're just trying to fill air time while they think of something interesting to say.

I actually like how he said Louisiana State University. It made us sound distinguished. He did it affectionately I think. It wasn't like he was trying to mock us or stick it to us or something.

He was great during his Bowling for Dollars, Cowboy/WFAA years.

Wow, some people will really bitch about anything.
Hope you don't lose too much sleep over this.

Brad Nessler is arguably the greatest college football play-by-pay announcer in the business. Soooo...you might want to learn his name.
