unpopular opinion - Gold was never that good, but we liked him b/c he was "ours". They've always forced a partner in the booth that didn't really fit, either.

I'd love for them to just move on to Stewart. He's clearly better and more passionate about Bama, in my opinion.

This is where I stand. I don’t dislike him or anything like that, but he’s never been that great. A lot of fans love him just because he’s been around forever. Yet, he really doesn’t have those “homer” qualities that you’d see from other longtime play-by-play guys at other schools. He doesn’t need to be Jim Fyffe but Eli just has no enthusiasm.

Hopefully he will retire whenever his contract is up and Chris Stewart will finally get that role.
