Yeah; I'm all for an exciting call, but don't make it so blatant that you're actively rooting for the team.

I have no problem with this. I get that sportswriters need to usually remain objective, but sportscasters (particularly radio guys on the so-and-so school radio network) have a responsibility to convey the game and atmosphere as they see it, as it's unfolding. I'd rather hear them excited and into it than neutral and trying to remain calm.

You do realize that these guys call for a specific team don't you? They do not work for Fox or ESPN. They work to cover the team

Two Jack Cristil gems:
Jim Ellis," Now we'll have theSonic Drive of the Game". Jack says,"the drive of the game? Well, it's my drive back to Tupelo". This was after another masterful performance by Sly and Woody's Gulf Coast offense.
The other was his description of a Chris Relf pass in the 2008 45-0 drubbing by Ole Miss. Now, Chris had a rifle, but his sights were a little off." A beautiful deep pass by Relf. It was a beautiful pass. Now, it wasn't within 20 yards of a receiver, but a beautiful pass". Listening to the call you thought it was a completed deep bomb until the latter part.

Meh. The Auburn announcers annouce for Auburn. frick everybody else. You want homers? Jesus, listen to the guys that do the Georgia games. Zeier and Neal Dildo Williamson are complete homeboys for the same reasons.
