Exactly. I never understood the hate for Verne. It's funny how he simultaneously favored/hated every single team in the SEC.

Gary is such an underrated commentator because of how ridiculous Verne has gotten.

He really didn't give a rat's arse who won the game. He just pumped some excitement into great plays. He was all over who was doing well. That was his job.

If Alabama did well he pumped them up. When LSU did well he pumped them up. It wasn't his job to be an LSU homer.

You people need the grow the hell up.

+1

However, Brad and Gary should in theory be the GOAT going forward. I'm really looking forward to that.

Verne's not biased. It's just immature fans who read the worst into every word he utters.

Seriously, he makes millions. Why would he jeopardize that by being blatantly biased for or against a particular team?

I stopped thinking the announcers hate us when I was about 15 years old. Maybe in a few years when the majority of this board gets to that age, we'll see less of this nonsense.

Verne sucked.....

Gary takes the time to understand the team each week and that's reflected in his commentary.

He should have retired earlier. His play by play fell off a cliff in the past few years.

Srsly it was "touchdown Jack hunt" all over again.

No, Danielson is a putz too. Knowledgable, but always jumping to conclusions on calls, and not knowing Richard Dickson's name.
