I like Danielson...he can be opinionated and some times goes on too long but he's usually an astute analyst...and I think he & Verne are the best college football announcing team around today...they're not perfect but they don't seem to have a bias and work well together...

Don't think any team will ever match Keith Jackson and Frank Broyles as a college football broadcasting team...but I think Verne & Gary are the closest to 'em that we've got today...

Example: Cody blocks the FG to beat UT in 2009. Amazing scene and the crowd is going crazy. Danielson brings up Cody taking off his helmet before the play was over. He continues to harp on it as Cody, who is full of emotions, walks to the lockerroom with the whole stadium chanting his name. Danielson just vomits over the moment.

Yeah, Danielson was wrong 'bout that. I know several UT fans (as well as Lane Kiffin) were hollering that a flag should've been thrown and UT should've been allowed to re-kick. That is incorrect; if a Cody had been penalized, it still would've been Bama's ball. According to the SEC officials:

"The foul for taking a helmet off is a live ball foul treated as a dead-ball foul," SEC spokesman Charles Bloom explained in an e-mailed statement. "That is, if it happens on a play where time does not expire then the penalty is enforced on the following play. However, since the clock ran out on that play, then there is no next play so there is no penalty to mark off."

Don't know if it's been changed since then, but that was the rule back in 2009...
