I'm usually not very critical of them and always thought people on here were too critical of them but last night was just awful they were dick riding bama all night

Also I remember a big play and garry was like vern was about to jump out of his seat in excitement but they over threw the wide out

Yes they were. But who cares? It's not like their commentary influences the outcome of the game.

They've been awful for years. They make watching the game a less enjoyable experience. Herbie and Fowler are light years better.

They are pretty terrible and been was orgasmic on some of the positive Bama plays.

That being said. I was on the same plane with Verne back in 2012 for the LSU/Bama game and he looked dead without all the TV makeup. I can't believe he is still kicking.

Were they supposed to talk up LSU last night notwithstanding our performance?

Would you prefer they downplay how Alabama was dominating the #2 team in the country?

I agree but it was pretty bad. And I've defended danielson over the years (Verne not so much).

There were two plays that revealed the obvious bias. They were both nondescript 12-yard completions near the sideline for a first down. When LSU completed it, the reaction was a ho hum "complete for a first down." When Bama completed it, by Danielsons reaction you would've thought it was a 30 yard completion made under duress.

Remove yourself from the Bama bias. They are just bad. LSU took a timeout to try and prevent a touchdown. Garry says, "I think that was a really good timeout by Alabama." Even making the mistake continued on bs-Ing it.

They both love Alabama football. It shows in their coverage.

They are fair, we just have some whiny arse fans. The announcers have nothing to do with the game. Enjoy the damn game or don't watch/listen.

And your spelling is horrible.

I prefer the commentary for the ESPN games over CBS anyway.

They ran on about Fournette being the best back in the country as he was averaging less than a yard per carry deep into the 3rd quarter. I don't think their dick-riding was 1 sided.

Our performance gave them little choice.

Because Alabama is the class of the SEC. You want them to drool over a team that's shitting the bed?

I just wish they had kept us up to date better with fournette's yards and carries. Maybe a few more comparisons to Henry's would have helped. The 500 times they talked about it weren't nearly enough.

It was amazing they could annunciate with a full Saban sack in their mouths.

My wife who has no dog in the fight mentioned this. One time when Fournette missed a pass up the middle, Gary said about 5 times how that was a missed opportunity. The next Bama drive, a Bama receiver dropped a pass and he talked about how difficult the pass was and why he couldn't catch it when it just slipped through his hands.
