Sean McDonough on the call this week - thank you, ABC!

[sami]

Not only for having the best ABC/ESPN broadcaster doing the game, but for sparing us the odious Joe Tessitore once again. We've avoided him all season, but at some point our luck will run out.

McDonough is one of the best who's ever done it. Who can ever forget one of the great calls ever of one of the most iconic moments.

Hurrah! NO Fowler-Herbstreit blabbering.

I'm just glad there's no more Gary Danielson

i 2nd this!

I'm just glad there's no more Gary Danielson

I'd take Danielson and Lundquist over 90% of the ESPN guys in a heartbeat

 

[Volfan1000]

I'm just glad there's no more Gary Danielson

And Verne Lundquist.

I thought this would be the first response, so it was a bit late in the thread.

I'll take Danielson if it means we get Brad Nessler in a second over any ABC/ESPN group aside from McDonough and anyone.

Speaking of all-time great calls, there's this one from Nessler. "He got it ............ and here they come!" Perfect.

 

[sami]

And Verne Lundquist.

There I agree 1000%. Lundquist was a bloated, self-absorbed blowhard.

Fixed.

I agree, McDonough is better than Fowler. Put Mcdonough with Herbie as the No.1 crew! Happy to have him calling this game. Although we do have a Alabama QB as the color analyst

Beth Mowins?

Was Tessitore getting cash every time he used the term "T-town" last week during the Bama/ USC game? That was almost Cringey.

With Greg “bama red on the head” McElroy.

And here I’ve been taking that for granted. He’s as useless as titts on a bull

Danielson was the price to pay for that iconic theme song. I don't miss Gary, but I won't lie, I'm upset that the B1G gets that music now.

Tessitore is one of the best there is

I agree on Tessitore - can’t stand him. That being said, he always calls the noon game, which I believe is Miami-Louisville this week.

 

[VolCalls]

Hurrah! NO Fowler-Herbstreit blabbering.

That was never going to happen. They always call the prime time ABC game, which this week is Georgia-Texas.

You missed the most iconic part where Billy Ratliff pushed the Arkie OT into QB Stoerner which caused him to fumble.

Tennessee playing well on Saturday would help neutralize that unfortunate situation.

 

[The Original Fade]

I always thought Todd Blackledge did a good job - I especially liked his “taste of the town” bits during games. It always made me want to go to those college towns and eat wherever he was.

 

[IUGradVol]

Have to watch the game on mute every time we get Fowler and Herbstreit. Far and away the most unbearable ESPN crew.

 

[duckman398686]

I've always had a soft spot for McDonough ever since he called a good portion of our games from '98.

A few of his calls from the Florida and Arkansas games live rent free in my head.
