Was it just me or...

Listening online as we drove to Myrtle Beach, I was fretting to wife about Buckeye Bob mispronouncing Snell. Tim Priest seemed to emphasize the "Sn___" as Kesling repeated the German "Schnell"![VIDEO=][/VIDEO]

Bob is terrible. He sucks. One of, if not THE, worst announcers I've ever heard. His Job Requirements are:
1. Get player's names correct.
2. Inform of where the team is on the field.
3. Inform of the score periodically.
4. Inform of the actual play.
5. Inform of the time remaining.
6. Inform of the yards to gain.

He fails at #1. And #2. And #3-#6.
He needs to retire. Quickly.

Everytime my 5 year old says a word that has a S in it, he wrinkles his nose and makes a crazy face....Everytime I heard Bob say Snell, I cracked up because he had to be doing the same thing lol.

Yes!! I thought the same exAct thing and it was driving me mad.
Of course it is Ole Checkerboards and he has trouble pronouncing everybody’s name. Heck he has trouble getting the name right to start with.

Totally agree on all accounts.
Mike Keith should be the voice of the Vols. He learned everything he knows from John Ward.
There will never be another John Ward but Mike Keith does an awesome job with the Titans.

Please No, for the love of God no. His hysterical screaming after scoring plays are like nails on the chalk board

I like Bob and his chemistry with Tim. I can mostly overlook his tongue twisters but Schnell was a rare time that he actually got on my nerves

Worst call by Bob I ever heard (and that is saying something as there are tons of bad ones) was in the 2015 Oklahoma game. Dobbs threw the ball and it was tipped and Ethan Wolf caught it. Bob’s call - “And the pass is tipped and picked off! Picked off by Ethan Wolf!” Picked off means interception, Bob. How can a TE pick off a pass?

The main problem with Bob is he wants to say the player’s name making the play before describing what he did. A classic John Ward call - in the BCS championship Fiesta bowl went like this - “pass intercepted, he’s at the 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, in the end zone for a touchdown...DeeWayne Goodrich!” Notice he says what happened before naming the player making the play. This is how people watch games. They see the play first, then find out afterwards, during the downtime, who made the play. If it was Bob, the call would’ve sounded like this, “And the throw is intercepted! Intercepted by Deon Grant! No wait, it’s Raynoch Thompson, no wait it’s Goodrich! Goodrich in the end zone! Touchdown Tennessee!” This doesn’t feel like we are watching the game. John Ward made that happen.

I know, I know, John Ward is the best ever, and we can’t expect Bob to be as good as him, but we can expect him to be decent, but he’s not close to decent. He’s the Derek Dooley of play-by-play.

I have mixed feelings on Kessling. For football he drives me crazy, especially if I just want to hear the score and how much time is left. However, when calling basketball, he seems to do a fine job keeping up with the action.

On Mike Keith, I feel sorry for all pro announcers. Every dang play is sponsored by something. They must be rolling their eyes having to read all those ads into the game.

"Titans break the huddle, breaking the huddle, sponsored by Huddle House. When it's 2AM and you need a greasy fix, Huddle House is the place for you. Quarterback is scanning the defense. Scanning the defense, brought to you by your local Vision Works. Vision Works, official eyecare partner of the Tennessee Titans. Mariota goes under the center. Going under the center, a reminder to everyone over 50 to have your annual prostate exam, a public service message from your health professionals. Play clock winding down, brought to you by Longines. Longines, ignore the fact that your phone has a clock, this watch will make you poor, but make you look rich. Mariota takes the snap, sponsored by Snapper yard equipment. We know it's winter and lawn work is out of season, but spring comes every year, so visit your local Snapper dealer for great deals and specials. Mariota fakes the handoff to Henry and rolls out to the right. Looks for the the tight end in the flat. Speaking of flats, when you have a flat, visit your middle Tennessee area Firestone locations. Locally owned and operated, these independent repair locations treat you right. By the way, pass was incomplete, 2nd and 10 coming up after a brief message from our sponsors."

So you prefer a monotone "what a turn of events"

But yeah I had to listen in the radio on my way home from work and he was saying Shnell. It was horrible.
