is the worst announcer in CBS/SEC history?

When did it become okay for a Notre Dame loser to announce SEC games? I didn't need the Golden Domer glamour shot at the beginning of the UK game, or his inane chatter throughout.

Maybe he's still upset about this (from Wikipedia):
The play Beuerlein is most remembered for at Notre Dame is, ironically, one that he doesn't remember at all. In a 1986 game against the Alabama Crimson Tide, Beuerlein was on the receiving end of one of the more notable sacks in college football history. Famed Alabama linebacker Cornelius Bennett, who would go on to a Pro-Bowl NFL career, knocked Beuerlein unconscious with a hit that was featured by sports artist Daniel Moore in the painting "The Sack." Even after his NFL career ended, Beuerlein would claim that "The Sack" was the hardest he'd ever been hit.

My biggest problem with him is that he points out so many bad things about the teams and the players instead of pointing out the positives... a real jacka$s

I thought he attended Georgia until I looked him up on Google during our UGA game. He is that bad. At least a guy like Lou Holtz is a character. Beuerlein is just an ass.

Did anyone hear him call the titans-bengals game this weekend?

After Lendale white and a Bengal player both had offsetting penalties for a late hit by the bengal followed by a kick from LW, they cut to commercial. When they came back, apparently Beuerlein didn't know the mic was still on and he said "USC thugs, man"

freakin domer

My problem with Burlein is that he was obviously rooting for Kentucky. Every single time there was a reviewable play, he went against us. When Taylor was obviously pushed out of bounds before the catch, he tried to say that it was a weak call and he didn't see enough contact to justify being pushed out. Then, when we intercepted the two point conversion try and fumbled it out of the endzone he made the comment that he expected Kentucky to recover it. The comment wouldn't have made me mad if it weren't for the fact that the entire game he was pulling for Kentucky. The silliest comment was by one of our radio announcers, I think it was Jeff Francis when he commented on the Foster unsportsmanlike conduct foul at the end of the 3rd overtime. He said that it was a careless mistake and now Kentucky would start out on the 10 yard line. It was obviously going to be Tennessee's ball and not Kentuckys so we started on the 40, not Kentucky starting on the 10.

Is it just me or is there a shortage of decent broadcasters/color guys? I really can't think of anyone in college or pro broadcasts that I like to listen to. I'm not being negative, I just really don't enjoy listening to them.

But hey, that's just me.:twocents:

Is this the guy that said something like, "If UK receivers keep dropping passes it's really gonna hurt Woodson's stats." ...ummm, DUH!

Bill Walsh was the best color analyst I remember. He did a Tennessee game for kick-off classic against Colorado.

I used to like Verne & Danielson until they became the ambiguously gay duo.

I dont remember liking any color commentator as they have always seemed biased.

Even the great Keith Jackson in the Fiesta Bowl

Herbstreit, Musberger & Nessler are my favorites

i didnt think Beuerline did such a bad job. not sure which one was repeatedly mentioning Tebow, all the time, however. wasnt too impressed by that. i didnt really feel that he was rooting for Kentucky, either.

I wasn't really paying much attention to the announcers until my mom pointed that out and boy she was right, the whole game he was just blatantly pulling for Kentucky.

The worst was when Kentucky got called for a personal foul for one of their players getting up and hitting one of ours. I mean you clearly see him get up and just shove one of our players completely unprovoked (physically anyway) and Beuerlein says: "They always call it on the second guy"

What in the hell

they are carbon copies of each other.

both extremely negative people, never pointing out positive things - unless they can follow it up with something negative.

is there NO ONE out there from the south that can call a darn football game anymore??

we get big 10 (11) rejects or a domer? please.

I think Mike Keith is the best announcer in football right now. Boy I wish the Vols had him.

I don't think Beuerlin is horrible, just bad. The one I HATE is Todd Blackledge. That a$s is always against UT.

Hey if they were good, they'd be doing something besides calling games, they'd be coaching or something. What else is an ex-notre dame nut going to do with his life?

utstu, I think what he meant was that the guy who retaliates in action to whatever the opposing player did is normally the one who will draw the flag, which is generally true. I do agree that they seemed totally biased toward KY the entire game, although, perhaps rightfully so as they did mount a pretty impressive come back in the 2nd half. While I can't stand them I believe they probably get a little prompting from CBS and their superiors to add a little flame to the fire to keep people watching

I would rather pierce my ear drums with rusty nails than sit in the booth with Brent Musburger for a game. If I had to listen to him say "young" Daniel or "young" Reesing one more time during that Mizzou-KU game I was gonna go nuts, he makes some of the dumbest comments I've ever heard; seriously, sit through a Sat night game and listen to him the entire time, you'll laugh but your IQ will have dropped 50pts by the end of the game

but more than anybody else, i can't stand brent mussberger.

The one guy I really don't mind too much is Ron Franklin on the Saturday night ESPN games. I used to like the Verne crew on the afternoon CBS game, but as someone previously said they are now the ambiguously gay duo. You think the guys that have done our games are bad though, my roommate goes to Memphis and they've had a few games on local tv here. Talk about bad announcing! and the cameras used make the Saturday morning LF games look good!

yea i loved ron franklin and mark gottfried together on night espn games. i think they had some sort of "falling out" and now ron franklin does mostly late pac-10 stuff. vern and gary were sloppy kissing tebow's hind parts saturday and its been that way all year. i can't stand to watch/listen to those guys. i turn the volume down. they would cover tebow every week if they could.

Mark Gottfried always sounds like he's intoxicated.

I'm surprised Verne and Gary can talk with Tebow in their mouth every minute of the day.
