Fowler and Herby

[Vol Farmer]

I can’t believe some people are still tore up over a comment from nearly 30 years ago.

We’re Vol fans aren’t we ?

 

[rocketskates]

A Vol fan's version of hell is playing Alabama at Alabama with Alabama refs every day with Fowler and Danielson calling the game.

Hell....some have been blaming the refs for all our loses a lot longer than that. 30 is nothing. Lol

 

[volroadwarrior]

FAHR EM ALL||||| The announcers, coaches, water boys, pole dancers, every damn one of em.

 

[sambronkowitz]

I feel like that the trailer park trash comment was almost thirty years ago. That and the Peyton Manning Heisman snub was almost thirty years ago. Yeah, at the time, I was livid about how ESPN hyped up Woodson while tearing down anything Manning did. How their influence helped him beat Manning, and the comment Fowler made. Yeah, I was mad. But I got over it. That's what some of the fan base needs to do is get over it.

Exactly. Let. It. Go. Jesus

 

[VOLdo Raine]

I say we go for (another) dos.

This is the South man. Memories are loooooonnnnnnggggg.

I was like 8 before i learned that the Civil War had happened like 130 years before.

The way people were acting-at least to young me, seemed like something that had happened the last year.

Herbstriet during a OSU game is insufferable

 

[farmdogvol]

Zowlers pants are alwats wet andKirkie bannot decide who to suck to the hardest.He's as bad as Jim Mckay used to be about fishing in Wyoming or Montana(he never mentioned about the terrible Mosquitos and flies there)

You are showing your age old timer. I watched American Sportsman every week when I was a kid. Oh wait that was Curt Gowdy wasn't it?

 

[Shaun1985]

I'm just curious who people like announcing games. Imo, these are the best two. Palmer, very knowledgeable but he just annoys me for some reason. McElroy ehhh. The worst i think is Gus Johnson and klatt. I'm so glad we never see those guys.

If they’re not fully glazing TN then they hate us and they suck. Even if we’re losing and deserve the rough analysis. /blue

Mute button. In my older age, all announcers bother me. (Full disclosure - I have become the old crank I railed against fifty years ago).

Same here. I watch all games on mute. That way I don't have to listen to people making way too much money for stating the obvious. My favorite, "If they expect to get back into this game their offense is gonna have to put some points on the board".

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Yeah I do too, especially Herb because he provides some really good insight about the game.

They call it as well as any duo

 

[g0d0fm15ch13f]

Mute the TV and listen to the radio. Much better in my opinion.

Especially with Kieth on the call.

Your interpretation skills are impressive.

Actually it was 16 years ago but I get what you’re saying.

Same here brother. I’m the guy that wears earplugs to my daughter’s volleyball games.

 

[Tennman]

Fowler can’t help himself but drool over Oklahoma.

I'm not sure it matters who calls the games, they always drool over whoever we play

 

[Boston Vol]

Actually it was 16 years ago but I get what you’re saying.

Fowler’s trailer park frenzy comment? He said that after the ‘97 season.

 

[DrTNT]

Mute the TV and listen to the radio. Much better in my opinion.

Exactly what I have done all year! Mike Keith & Ramon Foster are leaps & bounds better than anything on TV!

 

[VolRanch]

They gripe if we don’t get a prime slot and get as bottom tier crew, claiming it’s because the network hates us, then they gripe when we get a prime slot with the network’s top crew.

I’ve been on bunches of forums of teams I like and no matter the sport, league, tv crew, etc

*insert team here* gets no love from ESPN, These commentators hate us, refs always screw us, SEC/NFL/MLB hates us etc.

My favorite is when both teams fans are complaining about the tv crew fanboying over the other team at the same time.

What’s odd is I live in OSU country and they can’t stand how much he isn’t biased towards OSU

 

[UT97Vol]

Fowler's comments were stupid. Probably taken out of context a little but still stupid. I think he's paid for it in full, however. I don't harbor any ill will toward him.

That said, there are several ESPN personalities on that network that have a severe anti-Tennessee bias far worse than anything Fowler did. I think that's what's really kept this fueled.

For which he apologized.
