We will miss old Verne and his random comments! Brad Nessler will be a good replacement.

I've never minded Verne.

It's Gary that acts like a complete jackass at times.

Verne is one of the ones I can tolerate. I think Muskburger is a zombie and cannot be killed.

I like both Gary and Verne but Verne is getting old and I like his replacement a lot.

I'm ok with it as long as Gary goes with him. Ugh.

The only worse announcer is the chick that does Big 10 games- Beth something. I'd shoot myself if I had to listen to her every game.

Beth Mowins is the worst. Anyway, I'll miss ole Verne but it was definitely time. Dude forgot everyone's names. Nessler is great though. Personally him and Blackeledge are my favorite duo. I think Gary is just fine, not my top choice but he gets a bad wrap. I think he gets a bad Shake because every fan base is also convinced he's a homer of someone somewhere and totally "out" for their team.

In other news, Brad Nessler has been chained to a chair in a #SEConCBS bunker and subjected to a reprogramming regimen, forcing him to learn incorrect names for all #SEC football players.

And probably gets paid for it. That doesn't make him a UF homer. shite, he wasn't a homer even when he used to call Purdue games on ABC. Danielson gets a bad rap from everyone because he doesn't slob their favorite team's knob for an entire telecast.

This has been one of the best duos for years in my opinion. While I think it's probably time for Verne to go, I will miss him on Saturday afternoons. Also hate to see the Blackledge/Nessler combo broken up as well.

Dude is getting old. Glad he's going to have time to wind down. Truly a legend.

Verne is the Keith Jackson of our time. Voice of SEC during the best time ever. Will be missed.

Danielson is one of the few sportscasters that knows what he's talking about. Hell...he'll call the plays pre snap based on the formations.

Him and Blackledge are two of my favorites.

I didn't say Daniel Son doesn't know football...just that he does slob knob...he penis kisses every team that is winning which usually ain't us....if we were playing UF and they were ahead...he'd be on tha dick...then...but then somehow if we were to tie it up or go ahead...then all the sudden he is praising the Dawgs for how great their resilience is and how CMR has done such a great job etc....can't stand that fricking guy...when we have CBS games...I mute the tv and put it on Scott Howard...


he is a fricking gator homer...period.

Im sure gonna miss Verne wont be the same without him ,however i wont miss him calling our current QB a previous Qb's name for example i think
when Aaron Murray was QB in the UF game he called him Joe Cox

If I remember correctly, Nessler lives in Atlanta and his daughter went to Valdosta State. I think he will favor us to an extent.
