You do realize that these guys call for a specific team don't you? They do not work for Fox or ESPN. They work to cover the team


While I do agree to some extent, I think AU has one of the worst of letting their personal desire carry over. I mean, if the opposing team has a player that makes an incredible play, listening to AU's announcer makes it sound like the announcer just got stabbed in the gut or that the play just wasn't that big of a deal. His homerism is a bit off the charts in comparison to a lot of other radio announcers.

Kind of like that bama announcer did on the kick 6?

One of the most exciting plays in college football history and he was flat as shite.

I do like this about Howard and Zeier (which they undoubtedly took from Munson): they live and die with each play. If it's positive for UGA, they're doing a good job of building it as a positive. If it's a positive for the opponent, they do a good job of sounding gut shot and pessimistic. Leave the neutralness to the corporate-air of the pro-game; college is too exciting and emotionally invested-in to not be hanging on every word.
