What is wrong with this dude? Kesling repeatedly referring to Benny Snell as Benny Schnell and Guarantano with a "J" sound and not the "G" sound.

It is Benny S(N)ELL not S(ch)nell and it's Jarrett (G)uarantano not Jarrett (J)uarantano.

My goodness it's maddening.....

My biggest issue with bob is he doesnt paint that picture. His play description is QB has ball, throws the ball, Wr catches the ball. Theb once the play is over he fills you in on the details he should have been deacrib8ng during the play. He really is all kinds of awful which sucks cause he is super nice as a person.

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.

I’m not defending Kesling. But I would definitely not want Keith ... too gimmicky and cheesy, comes across as annoying. Will say that I when you replace a legend it’s really a no situation, harder job than people think

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.

You need to listen to the dude that calls for South Carolina... Bob is way better.. That dude was awful.

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."

This was scarily accurate and hilarious. 😂

I usually listen to Bob with the TV on and volume down, so his shortcomings aren't a big deal.

I think knowing he was mostly radio only was a big advantage for Ward. He could make the call (he's to the 4,3,2,1.5, .75 yardline) after the play was well over.

The first broadcast Mike Keith ever does for UT would be the last one I ever listen to.

You would think in twenty years he would've taken some advice and at least try to improve. He's gotten worse with each passing season.
We were able to prevent Schiano getting hired. How can we get get Bob replaced?

I heard the Guarantano pronounced with a “j” sound last night, too. I think Bob couldn’t decide if he wanted to say Jarrett or Guarantano and got tongue tied. It came out as Jerrantano.

Anyone else notice that he mispronounces Tennessee? He has a strange way of saying it that I cant recreate.

That said I was listening to the UK network on XM. Those guys were so bad I had no idea what was going on.

Funny thing about Bob, is he is awful calling a football game but does a pretty good job calling a basketball game, really good actually, JMHO.

If he did what you said, he wouldn't be that bad. But he gets the call wrong all the time, and it's really difficult to know where the ball is during his calls. All the time you hear him say, "Running back up the middle, that's a gain of a couple." Ok, Bob. How much is "a couple?" Is that 2? 3? 4 yards? We usually don't find out until the next play. And if he does actually say, "That's a gain of 2," in his next sentence it magically turns into a gain of 4 or 5. He'll say something like, "1st and 10, run up the middle, that's a gain of 2. Ok, 2nd and 6." Happens all the time, and it's so frustrating.
