| We should have a better announcer than Kessling. He is average to below average as a football announcer. | |

| I like Mike Keith. He does a good job for the Titans, and John Ward mentored him.

| I know the Florida State play by play man does the Bucs' games aswell. So Mike Keith should do both the Titans and Vols!

| I don't blame John Ward for retiring. I do blame Vol Radio for not doing a nationwide search for a replacement instead of hiring the nearest homer. Reminiscient of how Fulmer was hired. | |

His ennunciation is pretty ordinary, nothing special about his voice. | |

| If Mike Keith ever did UT broadcasts, I'd have to mute it. He may have the most annoying voice on all of radio. No kidding. | |
