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?

I can tell you that you're clearly wrong on number 2. The official clearly indicated montana ball, then they changed their call once things cleared up.

1+3-1000: listen to any play by play guy in any sport. Kesling is firmly in the middle of te pack.

You are right, the officials did. However, any halfway intelligent fan could clearly see Tennessee recovered and that the call would be corrected. Tenn was already running off the field celebrating, BALL IN HAND, and he still didn't corret himself right away. Or even mention that POSSIBLY the refs had it wrong initially.

Kesling is NOT middle of the pack. Even if he was middle of the pack, this University should have higher standards.

2. If you watch the replay, you'll clearly see the ref first indicating Montana ball and then changing the call to Tennessee ball. I believe Bob was only echoing that.

I stopped reading after Number 2. This whole thread is kind of mean-spirited, don't you think?

"Tyler, you had a long td to Justin hunter where you stepped up in the pocket and hit him in stride for a long td pass where he really showed his speed. Tell me bout that."

The guy calling it for the PPV was far worse than bob-o. I agree, he is middle of the pack.

Couldn't agree with you more. He does miss alot of the players name.
Called Poole Bray on numerous plays.
I just can't figure out how he can call a basketball game better than a football game. They has to be some up and coming media graduate somewhere that can call a football game better than
Mr. "Cheggarboards".

Hire mike keith away from the titans!!!!!!!!!!!! He's a ut boy and was groomed by john ward.

Yep. I thought he would have gotten it before "Cheggarboards did.
He went to the Titans year before Ward retired.
Bet he is kicking himself now.
Course he is doing a great job in Nashville.
