Can we obtain a petition to keep Gary Danielson from calling our games?

I think Danielson is one of the better analyst. He calls it like he sees it and in most cases he calls it like it really is. We can't be afraid to hear the truth and the truth is that we are not a very good football team right now.

Danielson is fine.

Nothing more lame than actually believing the announcer hates your team.

He is obnoxious in his game calling. His infatuation with Tim Tebow was creep homo scary. I have heard the same comments by other teams' fans about him. Always seems super band wagon fair weathered Johnson-fied to me too for the team of the moment :eek:k:

He doesn't call a fair game.... Like that fumble they gave back to alabummer, he was all "yep yep he had forward progress shouldn't be a fumble" when it clearly was. Just one of many things that ticked me off on Saturday alone about him.

He was right about the fumble.

He was never nothing more than a sorry back up QB. Todd Blackledge set him straight in that a while back.

If we had put a few hits on McCarron and stayed in the game he would have been bloviating about us. We gave him little to talk about and Bama did. But, I guess we have to blame somebody. And with Dooley & Sal gone, I guess Gary is fair game. :salute:

I wanna stab my ears when I hear him say "yaaarrds".

Gary & Verne are awful. I don't think they hate us; I just think golf might move a little fast for those two to cover.

He is annoying as hell and rides the cock of whoever is doing the best. Remember those Tebow years? He slobbered all over UF. Now it's Bama. I hope he retires before we get back on top.

He is obviously a talented analyst and he's got plenty of experience. I don't think you can flip a light switch and get a job like his, on such a big stage, so he's proven himself at some point.

I do think he is no longer at the apex of his career and I think he has become lazy in his preparation. It is common for him to mis-pronounce or completely mis-identify players and he is frequently wrong about his rule interpretations. This all comes from a lack of preparation - being lazy, complacent.

It can't be easy to remember all the rule changes and all the names of the players, their history, etc., but those are the things that make a great good analyst. National broadcasts need the great analysts and finding 10-15, who will consistently perform proper due diligence, shouldn't be so hard - considering the broadcast companies' resources and all the talent in the field.

The fact that he can seem to be overly opinionated and sometimes seems to favor one team over an other is why I wouldn't mind if he never-ever... ever called another UT Game. :shaking2:

That's wasn't a fumble.

No. But file a complaint that the coverage of our games is not up to anybody's' standards.

I won't miss Vern when they shuffle him off to a retirement home.
