Gary Danielson took over for Todd Blackledge as the color analyst on CBS's SEC programming in 2006.
The first game he ever called with Verne Lundquist on CBS was Tennessee vs. Florida. The Vols lost 21-20.
The next Tennessee game he called was the Alabama game that year. The Vols won 16-13.
Since that day, Oct. 21, 2006, Tennessee has not won a SINGLE GAME called by Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson.
In fact, Tennessee is an astounding 3-21 on CBS since then (3-24 if you go back to 2005, which was pre-Gary), and all three of the games we actually won on that network were called by the "B" team of commentators (including UGA and UK in 2007). Never Gary and Verne. And since the end of the 2007 season, the only game we have won on CBS was against a 4-8 Ole Miss team in 2010.
Forget Fulmer making a deal with the devil for the 1998 championship. Forget Rohan Davey and his mother cursing the Vols during the 2001 season. Forget Lane Kiffin dumping us in the middle of the night and Derek Dooley piledriving the program nearly 6 feet under Shields-Watkins field.
The real reason for our suckage is Gary Danielson. This is irrefutable fact. He must be removed from all CBS programming in order for the Vols to return to relevance in the SEC.
