What's your opinion of Scott as a football play-by-play radio announcer?

Scott Howard seems like a genuinely good guy and definitely loves Georgia, but his style for announcing football games on the radio is pretty shitty and frustrating to have to listen to.
Not saying that I could do a better job than Scott, because I know I couldn't. That shite would be really hard. Am saying that Scott needs to do a way better job of spitting out how many yards the plays get. The yardage of the play is always the last thing he gives on the radio, following the type of play, the name of the ball carrier, the name of the tackler for the other team, where both the ball carrier and tackler grew up, and his opinion of the play.
"Toss to Edwards. Edwards doesn't have a whole lot of daylight but makes the most of it. Still churning those legs. Edwards for Moultrie Georgia. Tackle for the Sky Hawks made by Quontravious Wright. Wright from Cleveland, Tennessee. Nice hole opened up for a moment that time by Ratledge. Dawgs trying to drive before halftime before getting the ball back to open the second half. A gain of 3."

It sounds like he tries too hard, especially with that gravel/growl thing he does when he gets excited.

Not a fan. Corny, too loud, and corny.
Ben Ingram or Jeff Dantzler would be better

Man, preach it. It's been about a decade since I've had to regularly listen to Scott on the radio calls, but this used to drive me absolutely crazy. It's kind of crazy he hasn't improved on this at this point.

Ben Ingram's call of the Peach Bowl comeback
Scott Howard calls the missed FG
Ingram's is better and it is not even remotely close. It would have driven me nuts listening to Howard live because you don't actually know if it went through or not for about 20 seconds.
Ingram is a pro. If he could make the scheduling work with the Braves, UGA should write him a blank check to replace Scott.

I won a WSB radio contest once and got to do play by play for two innings of an Atlanta Braves game back in the early '90s. Not for real but simulated.
My soon to be ex tossed the video cassette of me in the simulated press box when I told her I was filing for divorce.

I think Scott Howard is great. Yall obviously haven't listened to other local radio broadcasts for other teams, based on your criticism of Howard.

Jeff Danzler gets my vote

I listen to the radio broadcast w/ TV volume off every game that I do not attend. Scott is not perfect but he has done a solid job following the greatest there ever was. And if you want a UGA perspective and extra insight they definitely beat any espn, abc, cbs crew hands down.

Don’t care for him, really. I stopped listening to radio broadcasts when Munson retired.

Simply bad.
