Your thoughts on the play-by-play guy last night?

What did yall think of him? I though he did a pretty decent job since Mack was determined to sink the ship. Not the best ever, but probably the best we have seen on ESPN this season.

Mack sucked last night. He has been alright the last few weeks. But he went full Verne last night.

Whatever. was not a top tier game so we got the minor league announcers. I expect to get shitty announcers for the early game against Arky as well.

At least we didnt get that completely awful woman, Pam whatever her name is. I cannot stand her. She did the Penn State vs Indiana game last weekend and I just couldnt watch it.

Listening to Mack last night wasn't great but it could have been worse. Beth Mowens or what ever that chicks name is could have been on the call.

I thought the announcers certainly leaned Kentucky with their calls. They had several where Auburn missed tackles and it was fantastic plays by Kentucky but when Kentucky missed a tackle is was just a bad play by the defense.

He absolutely sucked at yards gained on the play. He may have gotten six of those calls correct the entire game.....for both teams.

Time the TV broadcast up with the radio broadcast. Problem solved.

Mack got a lot of things wrong and his analysis made me go wtf? several times. Like we weren't even watching the same game. Play by play did decent job.

Fans, in general, tend to expect perfection out of the booth in regards to knowledge of their team. I think sometimes we overlook the fact that they really have 3-4 days to learn all there is to know about not only our school but the other school too. Play-by-play and color commentary on a national stage really is a thankless job. I thought the play-by-play guy did a great job last night. He had his little mis-steps but overall he delivered on what was happening when it was happening.

Mack Brown is doing the best he can. He knows his football and last night you could tell that at times with some of his insight. He's not been in the booth long and you can tell he wasn't comfortable with the setting. But he's still infinitely better than Andre Ward.

Play by play was awful. I got the sense that he must have watched a good bit of UK basketball back in the day. According to him we were a collosal frick up the entire game. Their reaction our first drive was the epitome of what was to come the rest of the night. It was a battle of UK against themselves. No way was Auburn going to win the game, but by God they could lose it for themselves. It was typical bullshite that I've come accustomed to from ESPN. 2 guys who have never watched an SEC game & for the most part can't name the coaches or players.

The best part of the entire broadcast was at halftime. Kannell was doing "analysis" on Kevin Hogan for Stanford. He was trying to make a point about Hogan's inconsistency. For one of his "cold" moments, he chose a clip where Hogan scrambled to escape pressure, stepped up, and threw a dart through tight zone coverage that the WR let rebound off his chest for an INT. Kannell tried to play it like he was off-balance, not in sync and trying to force things and blamed him for the INT. I had to watch the play a few times to make sure I was not missing something.

Last night's crew wasn't great, but it didn't annoy me the way Verne and Gilmore do.

Amazingly enough, I thought the exact opposite of you.

I thought the p-by-p guy sucked donkey balls and that Mack was pretty good.

anything was better than having to listen to the radio broadcast and hear the backup retard call it " the nascar". and every time we make a play over 10 yards " you know thats exactly what they've been hopin for is them big plays, awe shoot they're going back in the nascar here we go".

people like that make me ashamed to be from the state.
