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.

Verne seemed to go out of his way to say the longer words


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.

Why would anyone need to learn his name? They should be able to hear him just as well whether they know his name or not, and it's not like they're going to choose which game to watch based on which game has the best announcers.
