Bur for him, he's alright. I think Ron Franklin applied for the job and he's great. I like Tim Priest as color. I like Kesling better in basketball. I think Bert Bertlekamp is the best color guy in basketball, "Money". Him and Tim compliment him well in coloring, and Jeff Francis does good on the sideline. All of the pregame, postgame, and coaches shows are really good.
WOW!!!! Ron Franklin! they passed on him for kesling???!!!!!that is horrible! I wish I never heard that. I love listening to franklin on TV. tremendous voice and inflection of that voice. great,classic football guy.I am at a loss guys.

Kesling, while terrible, has improved since 1999.

Again, we can whine all we want, but I promise you he is safe there. The only way he leaves that job is if he does it on his own terms or John Ward comes out of retirement, neither of which is happening.

Kesling's abilities (or lack there of) serve a purpose... they distract us from noticing the quality of play on the field. That's just the way they want it. Get your mind focused on the announcers and you forget about the actual game being played.

I would probably be ok with Kesling if he would refrain from achieving orgasm on-air everytime Ainge throws a pick...

Yeah, that was the plan. UT decided to hire Bob after winning the national championship because their master plan was to lower the quality of play on the field. Sheesh.
