Serious question...if you don't like Tess, who DO you like because I genuinely can't think of an ESPN/ABC announcer I'd rather have outside of maybe Fowler.


This board hates EVERYBODY!!!

Good on you Run Ultra for voicing a contrary view on the talents of Joe Tessitore. It’s not that I give a shite either way. But the group think on this board is tiresome.

I wish TD had a mute button.


It kinda does, just most of us can't resist opening every new thread.

McDonough is pretty good. Tess isn’t bad though.

Since you hate Joe T you could try synching up your TV the LSU radio call. Eagle 98.1 app and listen to Blair and Hester "Hey now!"

I much prefer Sean McDonough. He knows when to inject excitement but isn't ridiculous like Tessitore. Plus, he's not afraid to call out refs or other stupid BS that happens in the game. Even Dave Pasch is better.

Tessitore is a cartoon character

Honestly, I apparently don’t pay nearly as much attention to the announcer as you guys do. In fact, I rarely remember who announced the game after I just watched it. I just focus on the game itself.

That is was most fans do. But there is the portion that watch just for reasons to complain. That group has no limits as to what they will complain about. Announcers, coaches, players, concessions & traffic (as they watch from their couch).

Fair enough but Sean McDonough means you get Greg McElroy and he sucks. I'll take Tess's theatrics over Opie's self glazing any day.

Gus Johnson would say that Joe Tess is a lightweight when it comes to being overdramatic.

I don’t notice announcers except Tess because he’s so obnoxious. It’s really exhausting.
