Did you think UF would score on 4th and 14, based on the result of the previous three plays? UT had all the momentum up until the next play.

Flip it around...UF has all the momentum following a miraculous 4th down TD, yet UT marches down the field for a game-winning FG attempt.

Momentum is overrated...anyone who's ever played football will tell you it's all about the next play.

I have to agree. Momentum is very over rated. The only way that I can see momentum in a game is if a team is getting beaten pretty badly and then the score quickly a couple of times because of good fortune and maybe they get back into the game more so from a mental stand point.

From my own limited football and sports playing experience I can tell you that even if my team was down badly that we were still out there trying and competing on an individual basis. We didn't stop playing hard or start playing with a different attitude with the different swings of the game. Maybe strategy changed, but that was it.

Why Gary Danielson a Big 10 guy is involved with the SEC by CBS is beyond me. Out of all the schools in the SEC who for years have produced graduates and players working in broadcasting they had to bring a Big 10 homer to rub into the SEC fans faces week after week.

SEC on CBS just keeps blowing away the competition in the ratings. The more successful your team the more often you're going to see the 2:30-time slot. Gary's long since been fresh out of Bama material.

You're absolutely spot on. The best football conference has had the worst announcers. Verne is a good guy but ambushes names of players and I believe he may forget where he is half the time during his broadcasts. Danielson is so hard to listen to. It's like listening to the two old timers sitting in the high school stands...constantly bringing up former stars, namely Tebow.

I think it's cool that Verne's last SEC game he will call will be a Tennessee game.

The '98 season Fiesta Bowl was supposed to be Keith Jackson's last game. I never really liked him - he had his biases and it was apparent UT wasn't one of his pets.

He took a lot of the spotlight that great night, pulled some attention away from what the VOLS were accomplishing on the field, and also - being John Ward's last broadcast, they could have highlighted him a lot more if not for Jackson being praised so much.

Ticked me off. What ticked me off more was the next season, he was calling games again. All that for nothing.

Lawrence, I do believe some coaches try to make their players less vulnerable to the emotional swings of momentum, because they KNOW how big a difference it can make on the bad side. They'd like to reap the benefits of the up side, but realize there's little way to do that without opening their team up to the payback as well.

So they emphasize "snap and clear" ... "the next play" ... "one at a time". They are, in effect, trying to make their high-emotion players more like the mulish guy who never experiences those big swings up and down.

Of course, they would much rather find a way to keep the highs, the energy and confidence, without giving up the opposite...but if the choice is "both" or "neither," a lot of them will take "neither" because it's easier to coach around and keep under control.

In short, I know what you're saying, what you've experienced. I've had coaches like that, too. Maybe not as often as you.

Gary would undoubtedly be a coach like that, if only because he can't understand it any other way.

Best coaches Ive been around in multiple sports preach this. Preparation and execution will beat emotion at the end of the day.

The GREAT John Ward said, "It's time" & left, never to return. Keith Jackson came back like a bad hemorrhoid & Verne just needs to STOP NOW! Danielson is a douche, too.:whistling:

Gone are the days where hearing an announcers name means you know what network to tune in.

Now, it is whoever offers the best contract. Can't blame them, I would go for the best offer I can get too. But it does take awhile for fans to stop wondering what the hell is going on, and for chemistry between new broadcast teams to jell.
