FIRST: There should be NO John Ward references in this thread. Has nothing to do with this AT ALL.
Kesling has to go. Tennessee has a proud tradition and should have the best available calling their games. Kesling is a bumbling fool. Spends more time trying to correct his blunders than just relaying the play.
1. He can't get our starting QB's name right. He will likely be mentioned on 95% of Tenn's offensive plays this year. The play by play announcer should have his name correct. There is NO such player as Tyler McBray.
2. The Option pitch that Montana fumbled was CLEARLY recovered by Tennessee. No Question. Kesling announced it as "Montana recovered" and then continued on with a poor attempt of THEN explaining the play that resulted in a fumble. Call the freaking play as it happens and then realize who has the ball.
3. Spending more time trying to figure out the formation and who is in the game instead of calling the play does not help the listener. The "when in doubt, just make up a name" process does not work.
4. "Into the Cheggerboards" is lame. One of the worst "calls" in college sports. I'd almost rather hear a variation of the "hobnail boot" call each time Tenn scores.
5. The only "supporters" he has that call in are back woods rednecks who barely have an essence of proper english pronunciation. "I s'port ya Bob an love hearin ya call da plays erry Saturdee. Go Big Errunjj an I'll hangup en lissen"
Kesling needs to go. Would an online petition carry any weight?
