Why?

He's even more Yankee than a Mizzou fan. A Boston College grad. At least Finescum, Tebow and Spears are SEC fellows.

Why was he selected for the SECN? Is he good in the booth. I don't recall seeing him broadcasting even though I've heard the name from time to time.

I wonder whatever happened to Ron Franklin? He disappeared from ESPN after some sexist remark in an internal meeting I know that, but the guy was GREAT.

Ole Miss graduate too as I recall.

Wait. A. Minute! ESPN actually put a professional broadcaster on the SEC Network to help balance out all the newbs with SEC ties? What were they thinking?

Joe is really good in the booth. I think he will do fine and I personally enjoy his play by play. No problem there. Certainly always liked Ron Franklin and he's one of the best but after learning from the posts above that he and ESPN settled out of court , then yea, I dont think he will be back with ESPN. Let's Geaux Joe.
