I want a radio play by play announcer that is 100 % homer for the Vols. I want him to say our and us and we when describing Tennessee on the radio. I want him to say them and their when talking of the other team.. I want him to sound disgusted and mad and unimpressed when describing another school and ecstatic if not orgasmic when the Vols have success. I want him to be hated by visitors and loved by all VFLs and I want him to be great at his craft. I also want him to meet todays culture and not the Cracker Barrel culture of the past.(Yes they do have great food, but) Is this person out there?
I would rather have an unbiased announcer than a Larry Muson. He was obnoxious and annoying! John Ward was the man. He was unbiased yet exciting.
I think people are too hard on Bob, but I agree about the color commentary. It's awful.I want someone other than mush mouth Bob and the most negative color analyst that exists. I am having a hard time understanding who makes some of the hires in the Athletic Department when it comes to radio and tv. It's like they draw straws or flip a coin.
I know it was at the end of your post but you lost me at the Cracker Barrel having good food part.I want a radio play by play announcer that is 100 % homer for the Vols.

Honestly, one of the reasons I loved John Ward is that he didn't fit this description at all. Georgia's announcer Larry Munson precisely fit this description and I couldn't stand listening to him, even when I was rooting for UGA (e.g. vs Florida).
John Ward >>>> Larry Munson
