Gary Danielson took over for Todd Blackledge as the color analyst on CBS's SEC programming in 2006.
The first game he ever called with Verne Lundquist on CBS was Tennessee vs. Florida. The Vols lost 21-20.
The next Tennessee game he called was the Alabama game that year. The Vols won 16-13.
Since that day, Oct. 21, 2006, Tennessee has not won a SINGLE GAME called by Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson.
In fact, Tennessee is an astounding 3-21 on CBS since then (3-24 if you go back to 2005, which was pre-Gary), and all three of the games we actually won on that network were called by the "B" team of commentators (including UGA and UK in 2007). Never Gary and Verne. And since the end of the 2007 season, the only game we have won on CBS was against a 4-8 Ole Miss team in 2010.
Forget Fulmer making a deal with the devil for the 1998 championship. Forget Rohan Davey and his mother cursing the Vols during the 2001 season. Forget Lane Kiffin dumping us in the middle of the night and Derek Dooley piledriving the program nearly 6 feet under Shields-Watkins field.
The real reason for our suckage is Gary Danielson. This is irrefutable fact. He must be removed from all CBS programming in order for the Vols to return to relevance in the SEC.
You may be on to something here! We should start a fund to get Sean McDonough and Terry Donahue back on CBS. They called almost every game in '98.
...and now the real problem here may be Verne? Gary Danielson called our big road win over Miami in 2003 for ABC. Yeah, it's Verne.

Shoot, this news is a real pisser, because I really like Gary Danielson's color analysis. But as of now, he's dead to me.
Well, I do think we'll be ranked in the Top 25 all season. We'll almost certainly begin the season ranked. If we get over the Oklahoma and Florida humps, we'll stay ranked barring a multi-game meltdown.
Given that, I think there's a good chance we could be the CBS game on any of these weekends (games in parentheses are our main SEC competition for air time):
It all depends how the seasons of all the teams play out, of course, who's hot and in contention in both East and West. But I'd say we could have at least a couple of shots this year to overcome the "Jinx of Gary". :good!:
