re: Does anyone else find Tim Brando to be insufferable?

He was very good with Tigervision in the mid 80s and also as a sideline analyst before that job was turned into hen crap.

He also did a great job in the mid to late 80’s at the score desk for ESPN - long before Gameday and such. He could do highlight reels by himself and we didn’t need three other people to hover over each other. Live games were cut to him and he didn’t miss a beat.

He also did great play by play for Jefferson Pilot and worked well with the likes of Larry Conley, Barry Booker, and Joe B Hall. BUT somewhere in the late 90’s and onward, he got that CBS job and wore an awful hair piece and became a major snobby poon. I don’t know how and why. But no doubt, if you meet him and wanna converse LSU then be prepared for his monologue.

I haven't seen him in years. Grew up with his daughter and had many fascinating conversations throughout the years about sports/LSU/sportscenter days, etc. etc. He was always kind enough to entertain my inquiries as a youngster who loved sports. I'd just go into the den with him and watch ballgames and pepper him about anything and everything regarding sports and his career. Always good to me. And having him host the studio show for CBS/SEC football after initially being the GAMEDAY host, however briefly, was peak nostalgia for me. Also loved how he'd manage to get a mention of Shreveport or Captain Shreve in virtually every appearance/gig.
