said it before, i’ll say it again, eli gold was an incompetent football announcer. seems like a nice guy but really bad at the technical basics of calling a football game on the radio. still has never told us what yard line they’re on.

this is a massive W.

I don’t think he was incompetent at all, he just became familiar and like I said, Alabama fans are so tradition bound when it comes to their radio announcers that they have conniptions if someone moves their cheese. I’ll get flamed but I absolutely believe Paul Kennedy was a vast improvement over John Forney at least how Forney was toward the end, but Forney just lived so large in people’s memories and people associated him with Coach Bryant plus it was part of Perkins’ general housecleaning that got everybody so hot and bothered.
