re: Stan White is an embarrassment to broadcasting

Even my bama friends don't like Eli Gold.

To each their own, but I like him.

I think it likely has more to do with nostalgia than his play by play prowess or entertainment value.

He has been doing UA football broadcasts since I was 9. Tuning into Eli on Saturdays when Bama wasn't on TV and/or when we were in a dove field on opening weekends was a tradition. Now, Bama is always on and, with Direct TV on the go and the like, there isn't much need for radio. But, I still like him when I have the opportunity and reason to listen on the radio.
