What really needs to happen is to get Ron Franklin back for Sat night SEC games.

I wonder if CBS would have it in the works to move Todd Blackledge over with Nessler to keep that team together. That would be interesting. A lot of you children probably don't remember that the old CBS team was Verne and Blackledge until Blackledge moved to ESPN after 2005 and CBS hired Gary.

Didn't Danielson do the BCSNG against OU in 2003? I think he was paired up with Mushmouth then, on abc if I remember correctly.

He had to agree to a clause in his contract to blow Alabama at every opportunity.

"OH NO! It's intercepted by Eric Reid."

Vern sucks, terrible play man who made loads of mistakes every game and was annoying along with being a Bama homer. I'm glad he's leaving. Stayed too long as it is.

Nice try. Very LSU relevant. Like anothe poster said he goes with whoever is hot not just Bama.

Hating on Verne is just the cool thing to do around here. He loves bama and hates LSU because...vocal tone.



Guy's been an A-list broadcaster for decades and has won numerous awards. Probably Brad Nessler's role model. He deserves a lot more respect than he gets around here....but who am I kidding? #rant.

runner, just so happens Bama has been in front a lot lately. He was all on LSU's nuts when we trounced Auburn.



We were undefeated and in the top 4 (I actually think we were number 2) when we played bama. And from the start of the game to the end of the game, Verne was pulling for bama. and he wasn't even trying to hide it.

I like Verne, he has a great voice and a good sense of humor. All of the posters that are saying he's a Bama homer when they play LSU, might want to go back and remember how poorly we compete against Bama. Verne's just doing his job and he does it well, even if he makes a few mistakes.

Brad Nessler is really good, as is Joe Tessitore. The worst is the female play by play announcers. They're not fun to listen to. There are 2 of those, right?
