Keith Jackson...

I am with you on this. I miss listening to Keith Jackson. Verne really sucks. He even occasionaly manages to drag Gary down to his suckage. IMO Gary would be seen for the quality color analyst he is if he were given the opportunity to work with someone like Keith.

Chance of Keith coming back for this one = notta.

CBS should hire Ron Franklin.

I don't understand why everybody in the SEC hates these two announcers. I personally don't mind them at all.

OK. Have a drinking game for every time Verne fricks up a name.

Help me out here. Is he the guy that either sounded like he was drunk for every game or actually was drunk?

I agree. "Oh God, he mispronounced a name! My whole viewing experience is ruined!!!!"

"Gary said (insert SEC team) just made a horrible play!" He hates (insert SEC team). I wish CBS would quit blowing (insert opposing team's head coach)!"

If it were just mispronounced names, nobody would care as much. However, at least a couple times a game, they - both of them - get completely lost with regards to the rules, the rulings on the field, and what's taking place in the action. Quite often, we viewers would be better informed watching a game if the shut off Verne's microphone and just turned up the microphone in the stadium so we could better hear the PA announcer and the referee.

I recall a play a few years back when we played in Florida, and our receiver was running in for a TD, fumbled in the field of play, the ball rolled into the end zone, and he fell on it. No scrum. Nobody else around. Just him recovering the ball in the end zone. Danielson was completely bumfuzzled. Went on for 5 or 6 minutes about whether or not that was a touchback...should be Florida's ball...etc. Just weird stuff.

I never understood why everyone rags on Verne and Gary.

Verne's channeling his inner Ed McMahon.
