| As much as I'd love to put Tee, Peyton, Al up there...
Really kind of have to go with the folks who were there much longer:
Neyland, Majors, Summitt, Fulmer

| Neyland, Manning, Ward, Summitt. And it's not even close. | |

Listen to other teams' announcers. Kesling is not really that bad. He is a decent College announcer. he just absolutely pales in comparison to John Ward. I had it in my mind that all of these other schools probably had a John Ward back in the day, but I went back and listened to some of Munson's calls. They are not in the same league. John Ward could call football games better than anyone to ever sit behind a mike. And don't even get me started on basketball. That's where he is truly missed. | |

I loved Ward, wore headphones at the games, listened to him when games weren't televised and even turned the volume down on the TV a few times to hear Ward but he should not be in this discussion in my opinion. I also listened to Jack Buck and the Cards and loved him. It is a lost art. | |

| Manning: No argument needed
Adkins: The all time greats of the toughest era in football history say he was the most dominant ever. (Sorry Reggie, love ya big guy)
Neyland: Duh!
Pat: 8 N.C. trophies. You can't tell the story of her sport without her.
Ward will narrate all "Making of the monument" videos.
If you go football only then replace pat with Johnny.

Quite frankly, and even more accurately, you wouldn't have the first clue as to what is not close to Mt. Rushmore. If you wouldn't have been so confident that you were right, I wouldn't be giving you such a hard time. Since, though, you need a lesson, I will give one to you. Here it is: Manning wasn't even the greatest Vol athlete of all time. Not even close. | |
