Plays Since 98 That You Wish John Ward Had Called?

[PandamoniumReigns]

And how would they have gone? Despite the down years, their have been some memorable plays that really weren't done justice with our current broadcasting. . . How would have John Ward called them?

Mine...I would have loved to hear him call the 2001 Drain the Swamp game in Gainesville.

"Stephens takes the ball, up the middle, breaks it to the outside, eludes the tackler ...25, 20, 15, 10, 5..4...3..2...1.....TOUCHDOWN Travis Stephens!!! He took the ball and stomped on the chomp of the gator defenders..."

Yours?

How amazing would it have been to hear him call the hail mary by Dobbs-Jennings against UGa?

 

[GulfCoasterVol]

All of them.

I sincerely miss Mr. Ward.

All of them.

I sincerely miss Mr. Ward.

^^^^^ This^^^^^^ is the correct answer!

This was the first one that came to mind.

I'm going with Todd Kelly's interception early in the forth of the 2016 florida game.

"Tennessee gets a solid push, the pocket breaks down, Applebee is flushed and searching downfield. He fires and ... PICK!!! Tennessee football. He stole that wide receivers lunch."

I miss Ward.

Fairly certain it wouldn't have been "What a turn of events"

this one!! i also would have liked to hear him call that jennings TD against floirda in 2016

That was quite a turn of events.

That was pitiful. Verne had more excitement in his voice than Bob.

I miss John dearly. Every time I hear his voice on a commercial, video clip, etc. I stop dead in my tracks. He is as much a part of UT football as anything else in my memory.

 

[S.C. OrangeMan]

How amazing would it have been to hear him call the hail mary by Dobbs-Jennings against UGa?

I agree. The Dobnail Boot play would have been awesome with JW calling it.

 

[GiveEmSix]

1) Hail Mary against GA
2) Jennings burning Tabor for a TD
3) Even though we lost the game after the squib kick, I would have loved to hear Ward call the screen pass to Stephens in the 2001 Georgia game.

 

[VaBornVol]

The Mark Ingram fumble in 2009 would’ve been a good call

While the JJ play against the gators comes to mind....Tim Priest made that call more memorable than any broadcaster weve had a UT, IMO.


Priest was a badass as a color commentator...

First one that came to my mind as well! That would've been incredible! Instead we got "what a turn of events!"

Another one would've been the Jennings TD catch against Tabor! That too would've been great! Though I do like Tim Priest's "Getcha some of that Tabor!" call. LOL!

I would have loved to hear John Ward describe Rashaan Gaulden's one fingered salute to the Bama student section at their house.

 

[USAFgolferVol]

It would have been awesome during the Pearl years and now with Barnes. As good as he was in football, he was even better on basketball. He would have been a great team with "MONEY" Bert

 

[Vols420]

Eric Berry vs Tim Tebow

 

[PandamoniumReigns]

Cordarelle reversing field vs NC State

 

[BenGrimm]

That was quite a turn of events.

Said as flat and unenthusiastic as possible

 

[VolDave53]

Eric Berry vs Tim Tebow

If Majors was still here at that time, the JM Show would have John Ward ask about the play. Majors would have said, "He really knocked the snot bubbles out of him on that play!"

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Evan Berry kick returns would have been memorable

 

[peaygolf]

I'm just glad 'ole John Ward ain't around to witness the mess that is UT football.
