re: Eli Gold not returning to the radio booth

He should be retained because he is a loyal, dedicated, hardworking, passionate, enthusiastic person/employee/fan who is deserving of being known as the voice of Alabama football.

You want to know who else is all of these things? Chris Stewart. He’s worked harder than Eli for a long time, and probably 25% of the Bama fan base even knows who he is.

Hell, close to 15 years ago I remember listening to him do nearly 8 hours of national signing day coverage on Rolltide.com, and then turned on the radio that night to hear him calling a softball game.

not like they are pushing out a legend to bring in Pat McAfee and cash in on the latest big name. Chris Stewart is great, loves Alabama, and has put the work in. He so good that other people are finally starting to notice, and Alabama can’t afford to lose him just because Eli isn’t ready to go.

I like Eli a lot. When I hear his voice I instantly feel a chilly October day, and it brings back great memories. But we all have an end date.
