PA Announcer, please tell the fans something more than (1st Vols)

Who ran the ball, Nico pass competition to ???, ??? on the tackle for the Vols.

I was very frustrated with the announcer today because it was

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Yes, it was not good. I didn’t know who had carried the ball or made the tackle.

 

[ftsandersvol]

They lose interest in blowouts like today. They still need to do what they are paid for though.

…sharing a wake-up with a horses head is so pleasant this time of year…

 

[Volbrando]

Hard to do that when we run a no huddle and move fast though

Especially when you don’t really know anyone’s name.

If you're talking about the announcer at the game, he is not going to be announcing when we're in the process of calling and running our next play, for the same reason the band doesn't play.

Extra noise while we are on offense would be negating part of home field advantage.

On defense... this presumes he has a spotter calling the information up to him. But that's why I listen to the games on radio, to get that information.

To be honest, the radio coverage didn't even attempt to keep up with the D-line substitutions today.

I think I recall CJP mentioning something about this a few years ago.

BARELY paid! Seriously…that job barely pays a thing.

Not a huge Jarnigan a fan but this isn’t his call. He is following the directive from CJH not announce while plays are being called for reasons BruisedOrange mentioned above. Will not change as long as CJH is here.

Overlooked the PA part in the title. Those guys probably don’t get paid very much, if at all.

 

[Wireless1]

Wonder if they could format the Jumbotron to at least show a picture and name of the key player

 

[Boca Vol]

Not UT specific, but the "IT'S THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRD DOWN!" announcement needs to banned in every stadium!

My sentiments exactly. It's lame, overcooked & just silly. These PA announcers think they're Michael Buffer.

 

[GetYouSomeofThat]

CJH asked them not to do that due to the fast pace of our offense. Gonna have to go back to the ol transistor radios days of listening to John Ward whilr at the game

I'm guessing that info would be even later than radio to appear, since it has to be typed by someone and electronically "sent" to the screen. Plus, you're having to divert your eyes from the field to read it, and are thus missing any substitutions or shifts leading up to the next play.

With wireless in the stadium, I wonder if it's feasible to create a "channel" that earbuds could be tuned to receive, and have the person who is determining which player did what speak it into that channel, rather than communicating it to an announcer who then repeats it.

Even then, I wonder what the actual delays would be between the call and everyone in the stadium receiving it?

I think the best solution is still for us fans to learn the numbers of the players, keep a roster in your pocket, and binoculars handy. I mean, we're all about tradition, right?

Tons of excitement for those of us listening to radio can you relay that to d white?

If that's the case, then why give the guy a mic at all? It's absolutely horrible.

I was assuming they would have a list of the top 10 offensive and defensive players most likely to contribute that they could “touch” and have pop up in the lower right location where they were displaying the “called penalty” - which I really like the penalty notification

Bobby knew how to handle the game. Giant Jeff does not. And no, coaches have nothing to do with the PA. Geez.

Jarnigan is very professional. He does it exactly as he’s told to handle it.
