The bias was there.
But CBS intro is the TRUE intro to college football.

It was iconic. But I don’t miss them. Verne was good, but I didn’t like Gary’s color commentary.
Both get a hard on for Saban

The only thing I liked was the jingle. Danielson is unbearable.

I still remember Verne's exclamation of dismay at an Alabama fumble in one of our games.
That's my recollection of both of them:
"Alabama is always superior to LSU. If LSU prevails it's a fluke and only a function of some Alabama mistake."
I DID like Verne saying "Louisiana State University" a few times a game. Both of them were likeable.

After the first 5 minutes of the game, I don't even hear the announcers.

For me the nostalgia comes from the CBS theme song. 2:30 kickoff was primetime. Would get dark in the 4th quarter after the time change. I think CBS did a great job broadcasting games overall.

ALways disliked Gary's commentary. I don't remember what game but i specifically remember him saying, without a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "Well you know what the keys to winning the game are? Scoring more points." Like no shite my guy.

I enjoyed them other than the Pro Bama rhetoric all the time.

Keith Jackson elevated the status of Ohio State, USC, Notre Dame, and Penn State so high that they've enjoyed 60 years of being the top names in football, even when their programs were on the skids.
When Keith Jackson called your game on ABC, it was a fricking event.

ESPN should just buy this music already lol.

They were really good but Gary’s Alabama love fest got old and almost intolerable
Hard to blame Gary in that era, Les Miles should’ve sucked less. Verne was really not very good at football commentary but entertaining. Both of them really.

I loved them at the time they were still calling games together. Might be a hot take but I didn’t think Gary was a massive Bama homer. I just think it may have come across that way because those Bama teams were so dominant, that often times there was nothing but positives to say about them. I loved the entire CBS production

ALL TV announcers suck.
MUTE the TV, and tune in the Radio broadcast!
FYI, if anyone doesn't know, you can get the LSU radio broadcast on youtube.
Pause the radio broadcast for a few seconds to line it up with the TV broadcast.

Something happened to Gary when Saban got to bama and he was terrible. I really liked him before that

Verne and Todd Blackledge were fun to watch and listen to and then they brought in know-it-all Danielson and it went south.

Danielson called SEC games from 2006 - 2023 Alabama's record vs LSU during that period was 13 - 6. Alabama won 6 NCs to LSU's 2. They won 9 SEC Champions to LSU's 3.
As much as you or I may hate it Alabama WAS superior to LSU during that period.

The best color guys are Fowler, McDounough, and Blackledge.
2 of those 3 are play by play. Not color guys. I do agree all three are good though.

His love fest for AJs girlfriend (Katherine Webb) was far worse. There was one game he just went straight creep talking about her when the camera panned towards her. I’m convinced he’d blow AJ just because his little AJ was in her.
