I don't rag on them, I just think CBS could do better than Verne. He's OK. He just seems to not do his pre-game homework thoroughly enough or something. I will say I prefer him x100 over Mussberger.

Is he still under contract? In this day, it would mean nothing for him to show up on some other station.

always loved listening to Keith Jackson. he made mistakes to, they all do. but he also made the whole experience better. cant say that for verne. what i do like about gary is, he says when he's wrong about something. rather than covering it up, he just admits he guessed wrong and goes on. just happy there wont be a female in the booth. nothing ruins a football telecast worse than a female in the booth.

always liked Franklin/Gottfried. wish Gottfried was still able to do the job.

Keith Jackson...
Any chance he will come out of retirement and call the game for CBS? I can't imagine having to listen Verne and Gary frick up the biggest game of the year...



Good God, that would be awful. This is 2011, not 1981. Keith Jackson is waaaaay past his prime.

Franklin was one of the best. Gottfried was the original Lou Holtz...with that slurred speech thing he had.

I have no problem with Verne. He kind of makes me laugh with some of the stuff he says. Plus he was on Happy Gilmore. Can't hate on that.

Vern's fake laugh makes me want to punch a baby.

I love Keith Jackson. I miss hearing his voice on Saturdays.

While I hate Verne for football games, you have to admit he is one of the most exciting college basketball announcers out there. If you had him announcing with Dickie-V doing color, you have to drink 10 redbulls just to listen.

Contract or not, he worked there for 40 years. To an older guy like himself I bet that means something.

I don't understand why everybody in the SEC hates these two announcers. I personally don't mind them at all.
I'm with you. Besides he kept calling us Louisiana State University, I've never minded Verne. I think that bitching about announcers is just the cool thing to do on this board.

I don't either. Verne's laugh gets on some peoples nerves, I guess. Ha....Ha Ha.


I personally love it in a non gay way. I also like when he make the "Oh my goodness", "My Gosh" type calls.

I think Gary knows more about football then most coaches do.

I think the two are fair.. they don't usually favor one team more than the other.

I guess I am a homo for liking them.

there are mistakes and then complete abortions.

Verne and Gary are awful. They get it wrong more times than right.
