I absolutely agree, and the last thing I want to hear before Nov. 18th is some idiot in the media declaring that Neyland isn’t loud or a tough place to play. Home field advantage is absolutely a factor, especially with big time programs. It will be hard enough to overcome even without some idiot poking the bear! Ainge certainly fired up the GA crowd last season, and it did make a difference!

Funny, but I was just saying recently that Danielson hasn't been nearly as bad with Nessler as he was with the bloated d-bag Lundquist.

Looks like I need to amend that comment.

See, I vaguely remember having had some sour feelings toward ole Verne at one point, but they’ve been overshadowed by “Dobbs heaves it…CAUGHT!!! It is CAUGHT! Jauan Jennings!! Jauan Jennings!”

Edit: Re: Nessler, I loved the moment when Gary was waxing poetic about the big pass plays not being there if we couldn’t run it, just as Hyatt caught another 50 yard bomb, and Nessler goes “There’s a big pass play that’s there!” Subtle shade almost.

Lundquist was a bloated self promoter who was more interested in invloving himself and Danielson in the broadcast than just calling the game. Nessler is a solid pro that always makes the game the star. His call of the winning FG against Bama is an all-timer.

Danielson knows less about football than my 16 month old daughter; can’t wait till that moron is calling Big10 only… good riddance to him and the entirety of CBS

They should but they won’t because they don’t want to piss off CBS (even though we won’t be part of them next year).

Hell, why not? Let's go ahead and piss off Danielson and Coordinated Bowel Seepage.

I know we were all jumping up and down and screaming when it was live, but go look at the 5 min after the Ala win last year. He was running his mouth the entire time telling you how Bama isn’t out of it. They still control their destiny. Bama almost blocked it. His little 15 year joke. I mean come on dude- just shut the he.. up and let the moment happen.

He also had this to say regarding Milton and our offense. Hope we light them up Saturday and Squirrel White has Texas A&M "shaking in their boots"

“I’m not critical, but I thought I would get more (from Milton),” Danielson told Knox News. “It’s not just Joe, though. This team doesn’t have the firepower at wide receiver that they had a year ago. So it’s a different looking process. And because of that, everything looks a little harder."
“I think it remains to be seen. So far they haven’t,” Danielson said. “You’ve got to have a receiver they feel is a mismatch. Who is that for Tennessee? They’ve got a lot of good receivers. Right now, they don’t have a mismatch – you know, where the corner is shaking in his boots at the snap.

“But there’s an opportunity for someone to emerge. We’ll see what happens and who it is for Tennessee.”

“This offense works well when the quarterback is making and processing quick decisions and attacking,” Danielson said. “And so far against comparable talent, it seems to be a tenth of a second slower than what Josh Heupel would like.”

What??? The truth. It's his job to tell the truth. This is nothing like the crowd noise statement.

Listen, I don't like Danielson at all, but let's be honest - that isn't a completely inaccurate analysis of our passing offense so far this season. We need one of these WR's to step up as a legit deep threat, and we need Joe to be a little better at those seam throws and making decisions where to go with the ball. He's gotten better, but there is still room to improve the pace and efficiency of the offense.

One of our WRs does need to step up and be the man for the passing game.
Hasn't happened yet.

Gary's biggest weakness as a broadcaster is he is at his worst when the unexpected happens on the field. He is not good at shifting gears and speaking spontaneous with the action.
When the calls don't fit his prescribed narrative, he sounds unprepared and clunky.

He started with CBS in 2006. UT has not been a powerhouse program during his tenure. We have been featured year in and year out by CBS, and we have looked like keystone cops most of those seasons. Bad color commentators tend to talk about the most popular teams, even if they aren't playing.
I read posts from a UGA fan complaining about Gary Danielson talking about Bama during UGA's celebrations after they won the SEC in 2017, and he talks about Bama so much during their games. We aren't the only fans tired of his schtick. Another UGA fan said if he found out his wife died he would mention how much he still loved Nick Saban.

You nailed it regarding his main weakness. Countless times he has insisted that something happened on a play, and even when a replay clearly shows it did not, he just forges on with his original narrative. He cannot adjust, and he can never just say "wow, I missed that", which would humanize him greatly.

He goes into games with a set narrative and never, ever varies from his script, instead trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. People hate him for 'rooting' for this one or that one, but I honestly wouldn't care if he just called the game properly and lost the arrogance.

In all fairness to Gary, since he hasn't been able to lovingly gaze at Tebow on a weekly basis, he just hasn't been the same.

The heart wants what the heart wants and Gary has been lashing out for years.

I dont like calling out players specifically. Anytime someone starts with "I'm not being critical", your being critical. Feel like he took a shot at Joe by saying he thought we would get more out of Milton this year. Just not a fan of pointing out one guy. The rest of the article is a fair argument, I just posted the rest of what he had to say about the offense. One thing I don't agree with regarding the rest of it is that we don't have a guy who strikes fear in opposing DB's, I think Squirrel absolutely should but that my own personal opinion.

Compare --

Danielson: "I don't know if .... "

Darlington: "Boy was I wrong. The noise was a constant, oppressive force. I could literally feel it on my skin. It was every. single. play.”

Neyland Stadium changed an Oklahoma player's thoughts on home-field advantage

Tennessee's Neyland Stadium changed the perception of home-field advantage to this former Oklahoma player.
www.saturdaydownsouth.com

Darlington visited Tennessee’s Neyland Stadium during his time as a player at Oklahoma. Here’s what he had to say about it.

“I was never a big believer in homefield advantage,” he wrote. “I scoffed at the notion that a fan could actually have an impact on a football game. You have a hostile crowd? Good. I feed off of hostile crowds, and I embrace it when fans ridicule me. You think you’re loud? Whatever.

Your homefield advantage is incredibly overrated. Bring it on. You’re wasting your breath.”

Then, he felt Neyland Stadium get under his skin. Literally.

“And then I ran out of the tunnel in Knoxville, Tennessee, FOR WARMUP and was greeted by thousands of screaming fans and the chorus of ‘Rocky Top,’ Darlington said. “The game wasn’t set to start for over an hour, and these people seemed to think it was kickoff time.

“What followed in the 4 quarters and 2 overtimes of play was a dissertation on the impact a crowd CAN have upon a football game. The Vol faithful made it absolutely impossible to communicate. On the first drive, we had to change our snap count, because even our silent count was ineffective against that wall of noise.

Boy was I wrong. The noise was a constant, oppressive force. I could literally feel it on my skin. But these fans weren’t just loud on the first drive. Or just on 3rd down. Or just in the fourth quarter. It was every. single. play.”

I had 4 hours of reasoning to dislike danielson today. I literally have a migraine right now, I can’t stand that dude with my whole entire being. It’s not just because of his bias against us, it’s his extremely bad takes and odd comments throughout the game l

That's a very fair point about calling out players specifically.

Agree that Squirrel should be that guy, but the fact remains, for whatever reason, that it hasn't happened yet.
