Nostalgic for sure
For some reason Fowler has always been my favorite announcer as far as voice goes.

I thought they were good broadcasting wise. But someone from LSU definitely fricked Gary's daughter.

Thank God I don’t have to listen to them. Verne was unbearable with his adoration for The Gumps. I’ve heard radio play by play guys for teams with 1/2 of the bias in their calls.
Gary was just more of a fan of whoever who thought was best. Wasn’t a team.

Verne was a solid guy. Liked to drink. Liked pronouncing the Louisiana names like Drew Allemand and Chase Clement, putting the flourish on the last names. He was definitely rooting for Bama against LSU in the 2011 game of the century, when he famously yelled "Oh No!" when Eric Reid got the goal line interception for LSU.
Gary was technically sound but was way too in love with Nick Saban during his Alabama tenure. It was a lot like Dick Vitale's infatuation with Coach K / Duke in college basketball.
Despite the Bama fandom they did a good job, and they called a lot of LSU games for CBS as the game of the week, which meant LSU was good at the time. Happy memories for sure.

At least their mics worked.

Verne's exclamation of dismay at an Alabama fumble in one of our games
"Oh no!"
I'll never forget it. That was the moment I first realized their bias and started noticing it more and more after that. I remember thinking "what the hell do you mean 'oh no'?" And Verne's fat man chortles throughout the game were quite disgusting. You could literally hear his obesity and his commentary brought nothing to the game. He was pretty terrible. Gary was great though. He was very knowledgeable and good at his craft despite his man crush on Saban. And when we weren't playing Alabama he was really the best in the business at the time. Verne was always awful to me.

I liked them just fine when LSU wasn't playing Alabama. When LSU was playing Alabama they sucked the Crimson dick and I must have kicked in half a dozen TV sets in anger at them.

“Shut up Gary” was said in our home more than any other phrase when he was on tv

How do LSU fans look back on Gary Danielson and Verne Lundquist in 2026?
Nothing has changed...still view them as the hot garbage they were!

I'm glad I don't have to listen to those 2 anymore.No doubt Danielson knew the game and could break it down.As for Verne (I call him pumpkin head) if I never hear him say A L A B A M A again after a TD it will be too soon.
*** After Verne retired from broadcasting in Steamboat Springs, Colorado the town made him a king in a parade down main street.I can only believe Steamboat flat ran out of local stars.

I was a kid/teenager when they were on cbs every weekend calling our games, I remember being indifferent to them and then as I got older and understood the game more and more, I started to dislike Gary because he was obviously a bama Homer. It got so bad that it was almost better to mute the tv and turn on the radio to listen to that for play by play. Only problem was it would be a few seconds delayed between radio and the tv lol

I’m so glad they reworked the tv contract so we can get away from Gary and from 5 hour 2:30 games
Posted on 9/29/26 at 6:54 am to LynchMane
I miss the nostalgia overall. Unless we were playing bama and Gary would glaze them non stop. He was like Collinsworth is to Mahomes, but worse. Verne will always be the man

I still standby my opinion that leaving CBS was a bad move for the SEC

Heard that CBS music during a BIG game this past weekend, and it was odd to hear it there.
