Who is this SEC announcer??? He is Horrendous!!!

Those fellas (the announcing team, and their producers) were ill-prepared, caught on their back feet.

At one point in the 4th qtr, one of them said that our defense has "gotten Tennessee back in this game." (ummm, we led the entire contest).

At another point, one of them said it's amazing what Jeremy Pruitt has been able to accomplish this year "with all the roster turnover." (news to all of us).

The station prepared a special Kentucky Wildcat graphic (cat claws across the SEC logo, revealing UK logo blue & white behind it). There was no corresponding Vols graphic. The producers were sure this was going to be a Wildcats debutante ball, and prepared the graphics package accordingly.

There were a lot more, just remember those off the top of my head.

The bar for college football sportscasting is low. Last week during the Bama/LSU game - the marquee game of the week - the announcers kept bragging on LSUs crowd, calling them "the eleventh man."

Yeah i know what they were trying to say. Missing Devin White was a big deal but it was kind of an insult to his backup. As if dude wasn't even out there. Lol

SECN 3:30 kick is the worst major network timeslot... so there's a reason he's doing that one.

They really wanted Kentucky to win, kept mentioning how they should this and that. Get out of here with that biased garbage.

Unfortunately another byproduct of not being a top team. You get the bad time slots and JV announcers.

Let's see how you would do CLOWN! Bob followed a legend in Ward and IMHO has done a great job. For all you haters on Bob, let's hear you call a game? What no takers? Then keep YMS!

I don't think you have to be in a profession to give your assessment of how folks in the field do their jobs. If that were a requirement:

- most of us wouldn't be able to vote for our favorite singer in American Idol
- there would be no Nobel Prizes
- we wouldn't be able to vote in elections
- civilian leaders wouldn't be able to command military professionals (this is a foundation of our democracy)
- no America's Choice awards, either.
- parent-teacher conferences would be pretty boring
- and so on

Of course we can offer critiques of others. Particularly if we are the customers they are serving. We can ask our waiter not to spill water on us, and we can ask our announcer not to butcher the players' names. Naturally. :)

Having said all that, I think Bob Kessling is a fine person who does a pretty good job.

These guys were like 4th string...in the first half one of the "analysts" said that "Tennessee had been able to shut down the Kentucky passing attack." I laughed my ass off..they didn't have a clue....
