The 2010's were the best of ESPN's College Game Day, IMHO. Good times.

Without Herbie, you might have Rece Davis in the booth. Those would be hara-kari conditions.

Huh? how?

One is a play-by-play commentator/anchor and the other is a color commentator/former player. Neither do the other's job.

It was well before that. Probably going on 7-8 years now of a steady decline. Really not sure why Amazon went with him, and I say that as someone who (I’m sure like many) thinks Al is on the Mount Rushmore of PBP guys.

Familiarity is the reason they went with him. They needed someone with his credentials so you’d be more forgiving as they figured things out.

That was a totally farcical call. Lest anybody think that that was somebody who was truly across the street, that was not... He said something in code at the end that's indicative of the mentioning of the name of a certain radio talk show host.

and Herby is so emotional unstable he has a take a dog with him every where he goes. Look I love dogs but what has society came to that so many people have to lean on animals because they are so weak.

Definitely Not. It started to suck once they went to a 3 hour show. It watered down the show a lot.

Michaels has a good voice that is distinctive. Something the newer ones don't have

For sure. He’s had some serious lowlights of being completely out of games while calling them. A lot of people pointed at the Covid season as when he started showing it
