Agree but Vern needs to go. His age is really showing. Only bright side is no more Tebo for him to drone on about even when he wasn't doing a Gator game.

I like Ron Franklin too, but when I hear his voice I hear us at 6-4-1.

Verne hasn't always been as bad as he is now, but I'd like to see someone good with Gary before HE gets too old. Gary is definitely one of my favorites because he knows his shite, which is rare these days.

Announcers for children.

They're like the Disneyland ride...dumbed down with pom-poms waiving and stupid stereotypes and euphemisms.

Oh and also helps you're a fan of teams they are huge homers for...which pretty much switches depending upon which team the SEC offices tell them to honk for...or, sometimes they just honk the entire conference if they can't decide.

About as banal, childish and predictable an announcing job as if some regular Tigerdroppings.com pajama-wearing fan were calling the game for his team in between posting on the SEC-Rant.

They're great. I never get tired of listening to them.


I really like Danielson; Verne, not so much. He's just a babbling buffoon.

I love them. Gary and Verne are the worst in CFB.

Say what you will about Lundquist, I get it, but Dainelson's great.

Verne and Gary reminds me of a hot, humid, slow, Louisiana Saturday afternoon. They go with the setting.

Just had to google Adrian Karsten. I remember him...and I never knew he died. That's sad.

Verne is kind of like your grandpa sitting in watching the game making comments. If he says something that is just plain wrong and everybody knows it, you just nod and continue on normally. They put him with Danielson whos probably the best in the biz IMO.

Verne says some weird shite. I usually only half way pay attention to the commentary, but I like Verne's voice. Hearing him on the call, you know we're in a huge game.

Do people just hate him because of the Les to Michigan thing still? Or just want to bitch? I think he actually does a pretty good job.

I like the work of Blackledge and Nessler. Straight shooters. Verne is an arse that Danielson has to tote like an anchor.

Verne is a Georgia, Bama, Florida, homer. Anyone else in the SEC is just 2nd level for him. I heard him on a sports talk show one night and he actively recruits high schools for Georgia.
