Bob Kesling (merged)

[V0LUNT33R]

They played his call of Dee’s return for a touchdown to take the lead, and it sounded about as exciting as a funeral procession. In contrast, I just heard the Washington guy do the call for them taking the lead, and while granted it’s later in the game, there is just no comparison. I miss John.

What a turn of events

 

[bigroxtar]

Bob has been garbage since 1999. Never hire a TV guy to do radio work.

 

[37620VOL]

Did they do a Spanish call?

 

[Grudenator]

A bad kessling is 10000x better than listening to gary danielson for 5 hours I can promise you

I was thinking literally the same exact thing.

He must have some serious dirt on somebody. I just don't understand it. If we as a program are truly pursuing sports excellence, why not in ALL aspects of it? He needs to go. I'm sure he's a sweet guy, but we deserve better.

 

[VAVol85]

Not the most exciting, but I listened to him all game today and will do so next week and again for the UGA game. CBS is insufferable.

 

[JAllen18]

Replace Bob with Juan.

 

[Manning Up]

Listened to the first half of his first game back in 99. I have not listened to a radio broadcast since.

 

[Enigmatic_Vol]

Disagree. I think he does a great job.

Kesling is no John Ward

no one is

Kesling is no John Ward

who is?

 

[BelleVol]

We went TV muted because of Danielson and no radio Kesling. Rather refreshing.
Occasionally un-muted the TV to hear the crowd. Also refreshing.

Let him do basketball, but we need a football guy.

 

[ftsandersvol]

He just doesn't seem to have any emotion. He tries too hard to be professional instead of the voice that passionately encompasses an entire fan base.

 

[lostsheep]

I was done with him when he tried to give the AutoZone player of the game to Spencer Rattler after last year's debacle at South Carolina. Fortunately Pat stepped in and told him it had to be a UT player.

 

[amstelman]

We got bigger problems.

 

[UTK]

Wow this thread again. Yay.

 

[CaliVol2009]

Disagree. I think he does a great job.

Blue font? He’s god awful.

 

[OldandStillaVol]

Blue font? He’s god awful.

Just an enigmatic comment.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Kesling is no John Ward

The thing is, he doesn't have to be. I think most just want to hear a couple ounces of enthusiasm when something really big happens In the game.

 

[Hoosierbilly]

Bob Kesling adds an occasional "a" after a word that ends in d, n or m. Just terrible! Listen to him with that in mind, you can't miss it! UGH! BANDA is an example as in " here comes the BANDA"

Heard both and agree, Washington call was electric. Time for “Boring Bob” to retire.
