Wonder if Mike Keith gets a call? Would he leave the Titans job?

I just hope they keep Pat Ryan as the color man.

Pat is the most knowledgable football guy in radio. He calls what the other team (and the Vols) are doing before the play happens.

If they don't keep Pat on the radio, they should sit him right beside DC Tim Banks. "Tim, this is the play they are going to run..."

He was Mike Keith's first radio partner with the Titans.

Why wouldn't he?

He is a UT guy and UT can easily match or beat the money and benefits.

The kicker is a freshman with one bad game. We will be fine with Gilbert.

What's the better job, the voice for a college football team or the voice for an NFL team.

Depends on the money and the work environment. Many college jobs are as good or better than the NFL. Nick Saban left the NFL for college.

Who is the most famous of UT radio guys?
Who is the most famous of UGA radio guys?

You are not a fan of either, but you said John Ward and Larry Munson.

Without Google...who is the Falcons radio announcer?

UT is not broke like Auburn. UT has a huge athletic fund checkbook. They can pay who they want, what they want.

Mike Keith has been with the Titans for 25 years. He's not going anywhere.

You still have Hugh Freeze for a coach. Money must be an issue.

Mike lives a posh life in Nashville and is basically a celebrity there. He doesn't need the money and I highly doubt he wants to relocate to Knoxville to call Football and 15+ Basketball games.

He's the face of the Tennessee Titans organization at this point and nothing really qualifies as an upgrade to him anymore.

The only way he'd leave is if he truly desired the position he idolized growing up.

What's up with our kicker....if he misses any manageable ones against Miss State he needs to sit the bench vs UGA because there are plenty of high school kickers who would have gone 3 out of 3 against Kentucky not 0-3.

That was a complete mental collapse and it's got to be keeping up at night I'd imagine.

The game against UGA will likely come down to who can not miss FGs and who turns the ball over the least. We can't afford to have a shaky kicking performance against them.

He might be a little old for what they want. He is pushing 60.

They may go with John Wilkerson.

I just want them to keep Pat Ryan for his game knowledge.

Interesting. Where was he before that? Oh...he worked on the Vol Radio Network with John Ward?

Well he only did that for 10 years...it isn't like he did anything associated with UT before that...right? Oh...he attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and studied Journalism.

Well, that still isn't a very strong tie to UT. It isn't like he started going to UT football and basketball games with his dad when he was really young would emulate John Ward...right who he said was his idol? Oh...has said that he did do that?

I'm sure you're right. There's no way he would consider coming to Knoxville.
