Was she the one that got Ron Franklin fired?

Mizzou kicks a FG on their opening drive and for certain us to punt.
Tess: “WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE! UPSET BREWING HERE IN COLUMBIA!”
Just a total clown who makes the game unlistenable.

Dude probably is phoning it in because I feel like he hosts every other cooking, reality, or holiday show.

frick! I hate listening to them. ESPN loves to troll us with those two assclowns. Tessitore is absolutely insufferable.

ESPN is absolute garbage. Full stop.

She was indeed. She made some really dumb comment during a game where she was on the sideline of a team (don't recall which team) that was getting the crap beat out of them. Rowe said something along the lines of, "This team is still trying despite the score". 
Ron Franklin then said, "Holly, we know, sweetheart,", which while is probably what 99% of the men watching already knew or were thinking, the same 99% knew you can't say that any type of thing anymore. Unless you're Ron Burgundy.
Between ESPN having hired Franklin and him saying that on air AND her having had cancer, she's parlayed that into a lifetime contract with ESPN no matter how she looks or how bad she is at her job.

Need to bring back taste of the town or some version of it. They need to fill some airtime anyway, but McAfee acting like an idiot is probably more important.

I like Joe Tess. I like Pat McAfee. I'll see myself out.

It's great when posters act like they actually love Holly Rowe in some pathetic virtue signaling display.

Franklin and Gottfried were a really good crew.

I don't mind Joe but Jesse...ugh....
It'll be like 3 minutes to go in the first quarter and the score will be close and he'll be like "this is shocking the game is so close. We expected more from Alabama".

Yes, exactly. Except I feel like it comes from Jesse more than Joe.

I also like McAfee, mostly because he is having a blast and loves interacting with the crowd. It's fun to watch.

I am sure I'm in the minority but I wish Gary Danielson was still calling SEC games.

11 AM kick... calls for the Three Daves

Wish we could have Sean McDonough for every game, but put him with someone besides McElroy
Tries to hard to prove he isn't biased, tries too hard to demonstrate his knowlege of the game.

It’s a shame none of the networks failed to produce a broadcast team for SEC football.
Fans in the SEC can relate and enjoy a broadcast team that can bring a certain southern charm and colorful metaphors describing the play on the field. It’s a unique style of commentary that’s been missing for quite sometime.
Football in the south requires that type of flavor and was as important as the game being played because it meshed perfectly together.
Whoa, Nellie! When you heard that something big was happening but it took a Shelby Foote accent to pull it off. It made the game so much more fun to watch. And that’s what’s missing now and I doubt we’ll ever get to experience it again.
