Eli was great in his prime but it was sometimes hard to listen to him last year. The yardage wasn't correct, the qtr would be wrong. He wasn't the same. Not to mention he only did home games and he struggled mightily just to get to and from the stadium.
Same thing happened with John Forney. Bama held on as long as they could but there comes a time when you have to move on. Many great calls, from both of them, that will live on forever.

It’s been that way since he started broadcasting Alabama games. One of the reasons that I stopped listening to the radio broadcast. Countless times he would say a play gained 8 yards and in the next breath say it was second and 4 to go. He NEVER mentioned time until about a minute before the end of the quarter.
