This bowl season has confirmed something

Steve Levy is AIDS, the absolute worst

Here's another sobering thought. In 2005, ABC had Keith Jackson, Brent Musburger, Brad Nessler, and Mike Tirico as their play by play commentators for their four BCS bowl games. All four are light years better than Fowler who gets all of the plum CFB assignments for ESPN.

Umm

When we lost Verne it was the beginning of the end of excellence.

Man, I miss him saying “the grandaddy of them all” when talking about the Rose Bowl.

and from a reliable source, Musburger requires a six pack of bud heavy at every game he calls. How in the world did he gets relegated to ESPNU?

That was Keith Jackson

ESPN hasn't had any "analysts" for years. They have media personalities. That's it.

I liked Griese’s analysis as a color guy. When LSU was getting mugged at the start of the game by the UCF Secondary, he correctly pointed out that LSU needed to combat that by throwing vertical routes to take the top off.

Ensminger finally called the go’s and streaks, and LSU scored two long TD’s off those calls.

Later, he correctly expressed amazement that Heupel was not attacking the corners for LSU on every single play to make them pay for playing Press Man under with no Delpit to play Centerfield using 4th stringers. LSU Fans were pretty puzzled also.

But Levy is definitely a minor leaguer.

SEC and/or ESPN need to restore order and bring Gus Johnson to the SEC.

The days of good commentators are long gone. Guys who honed their craft on radio are a completely different breed to the douches they trot out there today.

Sean, Todd, and Holly are my favorite current team. I did like Todd and Holly when they were paired with Nessler before he went to CBS.
