| I love having Kesling as our announcer. His call "to the checkerboards" is original and exciting.

| I personally love it when Boob Kesling gets out of breath trying to call a basketball game. Boob needs to start doing some cardio with Bruce and the rest of the team. |

| I would prefer they move Jeff Francis from the sideline to the booth, and move Kesling from the booth to the sideline.
Jeff Francis understands the UT offense. I remember listening to him last year, talking about some play they ran for a 2 pt conversion, it was the same play they used to run when he played for UT. lol |

I watched a segment on him in the postgame locker room and I swear the microphone was shaking. |

| I enjoy listening to Kesling. I loved listening to John, and I thought Kesling was a good fit. No one will ever replace John, but we have a good dedicated person with Kesling. |

| Here we go - one of my soapbox issues. Bless his heart, Bob sounds just as excited when the opponent scores as we does when Tennessee scores. There is no prejudicial tone to his voice. Same for both sides. Guess that comes from his JP days when he was expected to be impartial. There was no doubt when Tennessee scored or made a good play when John Ward was calling the game. I expressed this thought to John Ward a couple of years ago hoping he would pass along some tips to Kesling. Look at that crazy goober down in Georgia -- do you ever doubt who is playing well?!? |
