The mouthbresthing hicks are the heart of Tennessee and Sec country in general. Just because people sound simple doesn’t mean they’re dumbOp is right about the callers. Tennessee is full of wonderful, intelligent folks. None of which call into Vol Calls. The number of mouthbreathing hicks that call in to the show is stunning. And Hyams show isn’t much better. Oh, and by the way, the hosts are doing fine. No need to awkwardly ask them every call.
You say, 'to hell with Don Diego'? Don Diego says to hell with you!! lol. JK. I always thought John Ward was very professional. Nobody expects the voice of the...whatever...to be neutral---he was very pro-Vols, but showed class toward the other team, as well. He would get excited, but also show some excitement for the other team's accomplishments, as well. He was way too classy for some bs schtick like '...just drove a hob-nail boot in their face' crap like the moronic Munson from Georgia. He would never have been so low class and neither would Bob Kessling. Kessling is no John Ward, but he isn't that bad...and after all, there will never be another John Ward.Uh.....No. And why? "What a turn of events." To Hell with your idea of professionalism, DonDiego. You are forgetting one of the reasons all of us guys that grew up listening to John Ward loved him so well; he was the original homer to the extreme. That is what made his few mistakes forgivable and even endearing. Bob has never gotten that and never will. He is still the same boring guy from Jefferson Pilot that caused me to turn down the TV and tune in John Ward. And when his time comes, for me at least, it will be ABOUT time.
Umm, that may not be the case...just move along. My experience has been that people who sound simple are usually pretty dumb. Don't get me wrong, many people have southern accents--I sound pretty southern, tho not as much of a mountain twang as I had thirty years ago. Southern or mountain is one thing, red neck dumb is quite another. I've heard a few of these people who call in to Finebaum's show. I can only listen for two or three minutes.I’m guessing you’ve not listened to the show.

This is exactly what’s wrong with America, instead of just worrying about yourself and not listening, you all want to take it away from people like Jerry from Bulls Gap , who probably lives to call and listen. Maybe if you don’t like it don’t listen, I don’t. If Jerry enjoys it why try to take it away. It doesn’t effect you. JMO
Call in and let there be one less redneck then lol
I think it’s time to retire Vol Calls. It used to be a good platform when I was growing up to listen and find out more information about Tennessee basketball and football. The Internet and Volnation give us quicker and better information like never before.
It also seems like every Caller that gets on the air is the biggest redneck in the state of Tennessee. It makes listening almost unbearable.
This is just my opinion but what do you guys think?
Bob is a good enough guy but he is a bad play by play guy ...... most of the time on radio he gets names wrong ... says alot of things wrong .. doesnt give score .. gets down and distance wrong and changes it 2 or 3 times .... I cant stomach it .... if its on TV I dont care who is announcing and their opinions I would rather listen to the TV ......I realize Bob isn't John Ward but he is pretty damn good as a play by play announcer. I think he's better at basketball than football but he's still pretty good at football, as well. Those that bitch are comparing him to Ward.
