It was a pretty clear hold that wasn't called on the TD.

Once the DB tried to separate he had a handful of jersey


Okay. But I've never heard or seen an announcer ask the rules expert to anal eyez one defender after another essentially phishing for a penalty. It was wild.

got any actual examples of this?


Just listen to his show from yesterday morning. He's hyping up our offense as possibly the best in the SEC, downplaying the defensive struggles, pointing out that Ashton Daniels is actually a bad QB who happened to have the game of his life throwing up prayers, etc., which is all tough for me to reconcile with a lot of what he had to say on the broadcast. He changes what he has to say based on the audience receiving it and I just don't have much use for people who do that even if it's for a paycheck.

I did listen to him and Cubelic yesterday, but I don't recall him contradicting any of that in the broadcast, but I obviously don't remember everything he said on the broadcast.

Well, yeah, we should all love ourselves more than our favorite football team.

I don't listen to the broadcasts anymore. I watch the game, mute the TV, and listen to music. Much better experience win or lose.

I ended up watching the Kentucky game on a spanish-speaking channel somehow with my youtube tv. I couldn't understand a single word but it was one of the best broadcasts crews I've seen on TV in years!

At least the commentators didn’t talk about our QB and his family eating dinner together in the nude.

That was awkward during the BYU game.

it seemed to me that sean madonough had an axe to grind with bama and gmac wasnt really stopping him. old sean sounded like a high school homer radio broadcaster complaining.
