Name your favorite duo to call college football games and favorite in-studio guy to watch

I have to go with Mike Gottfried and Ron Franklin, hands down. They had great chemistry and Gottfried was great at breaking down plays in a way that everyone could understand. Franklin was outstanding at moving in and out of conversations, and at the same time, allowing Gottfried his time to break down a play or offer insight to what a coach was probably thinking, since he was a former college coach. Franklin also had an incredible voice that grabbed your attention! I don't think I've seen another duo even come close to that pair!
The in-studio guy I loved was Stuart Scott and there's no one even close. Instead of watching some boring, stiff, white guy read the stats or explain a key play in a way that almost put you to sleep, Scott changed sports broadcasting forever. His hip-hop style and use of catchphrases, such as "As Cool as the Other Side of the Pillow," "Can I Get a Witness From the Congregation" and "BOO-YAH!" grabbed sports fans across the globe and made you want to tune in. Other sports guys have continued his style, but no one has come close to replicating his style and swag!
It's hard to believe he's been gone for almost 10 years!

The PA guy at the games is my favorite because it means I'm at the game.

Whoever used to be with Todd Blackledge on ESPN when he'd do Taste of the Town.

I think that was Sean McDonough he was teamed with, at least for a while. They were great.

Anybody but Reece Davis. He's been soft since he was on the local station.

Ron "Sweet Baby" Franklin - yes more so than Keith Jackson - on the PBP mic - "Enter the protagonists"
as for a 'duo' - McDonough & Blackledge on CBS before moving over the ABC/ESPN - unfortunately we won't get that duo back with the new media deal now with Blackledge at NBC -
in studio - I'll get torched but give me Brando and Beano

They beat the Vols that year 41-17 despite having a bunch of players out because of the textbook stuff.
