I'd rather have Mike than Bob Kesling...matter of fact...I'd rather listen to dead air than hear Bob Kesling.

I heard a rumor that we were getting rid of Kessling and Bertlekamp and replacing them with Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler :pepper:

Will those of you saying Bob and John Ward are not good announcers, please let us know who you like.

Who exactly is your idea of a good announcer?

I like and miss John Ward myself.Kessling had big shoes to fill, but I think we could have done better.When Ward left,several announcers around applied, that Cotton dude that announces Wake Forest games is one example.Mike Keith of the Titans gets a little old sometimes as well.

Despite his horrific choice in school affiliation, Eli Gold is great. On the opposite end of the spectrum lies Mick Hubert, his "oh my" calls are a poor mans "give him six". Upon hearing that "oh my" call the second time there is little room for doubt that it is the worst 'hook' ever. Hearing it will make you want to kick your dog.

Eli Gold is pretty good. Dare I say it, Larry Munson is aging, but does a good job.

Is this guy "juiced" into the program or something? He doesn't seem very talented, and I was wondering if there was anyway to get some competition heated up for his seat.
[SIZE=-1][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]So that was the start, which was followed by many mistakes that are very evident with the benefit of seeing the game at the exact same time Bob's calling it.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]Like I say, I'm no expert in this area...but do you guy know if Bob Kessling is our answer for the long term? I'm sure there is better talent to be had for play calling here on Ol' Rocky Top.[/SIZE]

Bob's an example of what happens when you hire the best available alum instead of the best available talent. Might have been some good ole boy networking going on too.

I remember watching Bob do the sports for the news channel from knoxville in high school. He was pretty good at that. Just not a good radio play by play man. Hard to replace John Ward obviously.

25, 20, 15, 10, 5...4....3....2...1.... GIVE HIM SIX, TOUCHDOWN CHUCK WEBB!

Pass to Dale Ellis, 15 foot jumper, BOTTOM!!

Allan Houston toes the line for 2 free throws.....guns....bang.

If you didn't like those calls, you need your pulse checked. Now we have stoic Bob and Bert MONEY to listen to. The money thing was ok at first, now it is beyond annoying. John Ward is the Ric Flair of announcers. To be the man, you've got to beat the man, and there are VERY FEW that will ever hold a candle to John Ward, period.

:lol:

Does he still breakout the "hellfire and brimstone"? I almost incorporated that into the quote.

See, I couldn't disagree more about Munson. He obviously brings a lot of passion and color to the game, and I can see why UGA fans love the guy so much. But he is (at least nowadays) just terrible at actually describing what's going on in the game. A standard Munson call goes something like "All right, Stafford drops back to pass. He throws it over the middle....and we got it! We're running downfield, and then they tackle us!" And that's it. You don't know who made the catch and tackle, or how far the play went for. He rarely tells you down and distance, and can go 10 full minutes without telling you what the score is. And forget about describing what formations teams are using, who's in motion, etc.

I've asked a bunch of UGA fans if he's always been like that, or if it's just since he got old, but they always just shake their heads like, well, what can you do? His color guy and team of spotters are obviously scrambling around behind him all the time, trying to cover for him, but still -- you can get in the car and turn on the UGA game, drive home, and by the time you get there, you still don't know what the score is or most of what's going on. I want to like the guy, really, but is knowing who caught a pass too much to ask?

College football announcers should have more of a voiced passion for what is going on rather than being uber specific and detailed, like, I guess, all the Munson and Ward haters want.

Munson is next level...Me and my dad were driving back from Florida, through Georgia, from a vacation, and found a UGA game on the radio. The Dawgs were losing, bad. Munson was classic. It was 3rd and long, and Munson's description was great...he said, "It's third and a million and the dawgs are down by a million." Kind of goofy, but just fits college atheletics perfectly.

Still waiting on the previous poster's request for all the Ward and Munson hater to tell us who they think is better.
