I think McElroy is a good color guy. He is knowledgeable and has a pretty good delivery. There are times when I think he wants to appear neutral about Bama
Herbie had to move out of Ohio, because of the fans. Gump fans freaking out over McElroy's take on a particular play, and the fact that Gump fans routinely shoot people over a game should give him concerns.

I didn't like McElroy as a player, but he does a good job as a color commentator.

It's amusing to hear bammers complain about him, I just hope no one shoots him.

Obviously there’s something about the way he speaks that must rub people the wrong way, I just don’t really understand what it is.

It’s because he’s a bit of a know-it-all, and that gets annoying, but he’s very good at what he does. Everyone thinks he hates their team because he’s brutally honest at times. He does, however, tend to drool over some players. His affinity for Tebow got very old

Am I crazy, or did they not used to do it as much (alumnus commentators)?

I think what you’re seeing is just more former SEC players in those roles, much of it due to the SECN.

They seem to put him on a lot of Bama games though.


Gmac has the 6pm time slot this year. The teams are decided by espn suits. Normally Gmac is very neutral on Bama. But last night, he was pumping the Bama offense big time. I think his natural hate for the Vols crept in. I laughed.

This and I will add that he does not know when to STFU. It’s just stream of conscious thought non-stop that takes you a while to realize it and is aggravating when you do.
