Bob Wischusen and Dan Orlovsky. Solid announcers

[Jersey Moonshine]

and our lucky charm? Dan has kind of a weird persona on the SEC network with his over the top fashion and brave (some would say sensational) commentary. Damned if he didn’t call a super solid game and actually diagrammed Hyatt’s second TD right before it happened. It was really strange as the on-screen marker wasn’t accompanied by any commentary but Hyatt ran that exact route for a TD.

Ronnie Milsap could see that one TD coming to Hyatt.

I thought they were exceptionally good on the analysis side of things.

Is he known to be near sighted or something?

That was funny

There was nothing to cry about in their announcing last Saturday. They were fair and both complimentary and critical when appropriate.

When I used to see him on NFL live, I thought he was highly annoying, and like you said— had “sensationalistic” takes. I actually disliked him alot. As for his color commentary in-games: I admit, he is fantastic.

Dan comes across as an arrogant know it all. Maybe I'm missing something.

For me, they all seem incredible after having to listen to mowlins last year at Kentucky

To me, Orlovsky is awesome as color guy..He loves CJH's offense and is, IMHO, as impartial as anyone who has done a Vol game in a LONG time.....

It's ok. His old buddy Stevie Wonder led him around faithfully.

We commented early in the game that he provided some sharp analysis and perspective, but later we were complaining he talked too damn much and was full of himself. I would have been happy if they talked about 1/3 less of the time. Ditto for most current announcers. Some of the "color" guys are trying to emulate the great Tony Romo by offering deep insight into the game, but few can pull it off without becoming long-winded and tiresome. They just love the sound of their own voice. Is it just me, or does anyone else watching our UT telecasts (football and basketball) wish the announcers would just shut up already! lol

We don't care about your personal lives in any way, shape or form.
Or talking about other teams NOT on the field, or something totally unrelated to football.
Or making no comment (or replay) about one of our exceptional plays while blabbering about something unrelated.
Or trying to be comedians. Are you listening Jimmy Dykes?
Or screaming too often and too loud about plays that do not warrant shouting. Are you listening Gus Johnson?

The TV networks need to find a reincarnation of Pat Summerall to cover our games. Or even Bill Anderson!
