$600 million each game.

 

[orangetd88]

and he was worth every penny

 

[JonWard]

We should have a better announcer than Kessling. He is average to below average as a football announcer.

wish Mike Keith would do our games

I like Mike Keith. He does a good job for the Titans, and John Ward mentored him.

I know the Florida State play by play man does the Bucs' games aswell. So Mike Keith should do both the Titans and Vols!

"Gerald Jones takes her to the house!" :rock:

Actually, his salary was, I'm told, one dollar per season.

It's doable. Wes Durham is the radio play-by-play man for both Georgia Tech and the Atlanta Falcons, and he does a good job with both.

There will never be another John Ward.....Kesling doesnt even come close...everytime I hear Kesling...I think Im watching the local WBIR CH 10 news in Knoxville....and if anyone doesnt know..he did the sports there for years

I don't blame John Ward for retiring. I do blame Vol Radio for not doing a nationwide search for a replacement instead of hiring the nearest homer. Reminiscient of how Fulmer was hired.

Funny I always thought he was a decent sportscaster, just doesn't think well enough on his feet to do radio IMO. His ennunciation is pretty ordinary, nothing special about his voice.

 

[utstu]

Kesling is horrible.

 

[OrangeU]

he was a sideline guy for the jp games for a while too. i have always thought he was better suited for a role like that.

 

[Jonesey]

If Mike Keith ever did UT broadcasts, I'd have to mute it. He may have the most annoying voice on all of radio. No kidding.

 

[orangetd88]

Kesling, though he may suck, is safe, unfortunately.

CHECKERBOARDS!!!

:cheer:

I love having Kesling as our announcer. His call "to the checkerboards" is original and exciting.

I like when he forgets to give the score for 30 minutes and mispronounces 10 names a game. That's what he does best.

Only if "great broadcaster" has become a synonym for "shrill homer."

 

[LadyinOrange]

Hat, will you do something for me?? Just once?? Will you please compliment SOMEBODY???

Just for me?? :kiss:

I would refer you to all the posts I've made heaping effusive praise on Bruce Pearl.

Link me one, babe. I'm lazy.

I personally love it when Boob Kesling gets out of breath trying to call a basketball game. Boob needs to start doing some cardio with Bruce and the rest of the team.
