I’d like to throat punch the SOB that feels the need to show that s*** EVERY F’ing year.....but hell..... what could they counter with?...... Kesling’s what a turn of events?Was ESPN’s play of the call of Walkers TD run in 1980 by Larry “I’m a homer for anyone who will pay me” Munson (Falcons, Braves, even Vanderbilt) but never showed a call by John Ward (far better announcer, not as good a cheerleader) or even the Dobbs nail boot call.
They played it for Herschel Walker, Munson was just the indirect beneficiary. That was Herschel's first game ever and the big hello to the world of college football that he was going to be a bit of a problem, that's why it get's played, not because of Munson surely, and not because it was against us per se. It gets played about anytime anybody talks about him.Was ESPN’s play of the call of Walkers TD run in 1980 by Larry “I’m a homer for anyone who will pay me” Munson (Falcons, Braves, even Vanderbilt) but never showed a call by John Ward (far better announcer, not as good a cheerleader) or even the Dobbs nail boot call.
The style now, is that the broadcasters tend to just slobber all over whoever is winning. If and when we start winning, we'll get the benefit of it. I agree it didn't used to be like that, back in the day when fewer games were televised the broadcast pool was a lot better, full of people who actually studied the teams extensively and could make more insightful comments. Everybody's auditioning for a hot take show now. I actually think Todd Blackledge is probably the best color analyst there is now though.I think broadcast should be balanced. I didn’t know I was streaming the UGA broadcast. Sorry
