It is of no surprise that Alabama fans would say they love Verne...he might as well wear a bib when talking about Bama. Its like watching the Cowboys on Fox with Aikman and the arse clown Buck.

Wait, what? Are you sure you aren't talking about *Brando and LSU?

I'd be fine with a Brando/Gary pairing
Brando does fine as a PBP guy.
Nessler is awful PBP, CBS dumped Blackledge for Gary so he's not coming back and if you want to hear a really really bad color analyst listen to the notre damer CBS had doing the Arky-LSU game. Brutal, just horrid

LOL. Gary is an elite football mind, Verne is a blathering idiot.

Nah, get Musburger. He'll have the cameras scan the crowd for hotties.

Gary can stay, but Verne needs to GTFO.

Dafuq? Gary is the best in the business, and verne is likely the worst.
Verne is good as just a talking head but Gary absolutely has the best insight into play by play football I have seen. As someone already said, it's down right uncanny how Gary can call plays before they happen and his is usually right on target in assessment of controversial calls.

Fixed. Love Verne. Like watching football with my grandfather.

Screw it, this the SEC, bring in Jim Nantz to replace Verne.

Verne's contract was up at the end of this season

they would maybe replace Gary as well

Tim Brando

Gary has two years left on his contract I believe.

This.
Verne is the worst in the business. He has no insight, usually gets things blatantly wrong, and is just generally annoying. The only person in broadcasting that I dislike more than Verne is Dick Vitale.

A lot of that is from watching film, but these guys do get a heads up from coaches during the week. But I do agree that Gary is good. Not as good as Blackledge, but good, nonetheless.
Nessler is the best PBP guy out there now. I especially like it when he says a phrase that he's used for the NCAA Football EA sports franchise.
"He got all of that one."
ETA: The only knock I have on Gary is that he overreacts to things too often. Sometimes a 3 yard gain is just a 3 yard gain.
