One of the last great radio voices . . . I hate that it happened in the middle of the season, but it really needed to happen. Age and bad health have really taken their toll.

I second that. Is Jack Cristol still at Mississippi State? If not, the SEC is now inhabited by nothing but no talent trash like Mick Huber, Eli Gold, and Bob Kesling.

Munson seemed to be well respected across the country.

As for the Eli Gold comment, I think he deserves to be given a bit more respect.

Why? You could put his football knowledge in a thimble and still have plenty of room left over.

He's been around the sports world for awhile. He's definitely an upgrade over some of the SEC announcers that's in the SEC right now. He's about 100x times better than Kesling has ever been thought to be.

Gold is basically Bob Kesling with a labored delivery and a worse partner.

I'm not sad he went away. The hob nailed boot thing sorta made me not a fan of his.
