I am getting ready for game time by listening to different podcasts and such. My question for you is, which analyst or host do you dislike the most
I'm the cfb world. I recently ran across, Ari Wasserman from the athletic, And he is probably the guy I like the least.

Gary Danielson is horrible but I actually thought he was pretty fair last year when he called our games.

What's funny is I've never understood the hate for Gary, I've always liked him. But last year during our Bama game he was annoying me. Maybe I'm just not used to us having such a good team, but that dude was swooning over Bryce Young like he was the only QB playing in the whole game. Hooker was putting on an absolute clinic, and it felt like he barely got mentioned.

But every time Young would throw a short pass to a wide open receiver Gary acted like it was the best thing to ever happen in football.

I’ve always compared Gary to Bill Raftery. When they stick to actually analyzing the game, they’re both terrific. It’s when they get sidetracked with all their bs that they become a hindrance to the broadcast.

I hate Gary Danielson as much as I hate Alabama. If I had to pick another network, then I choose Tom Hart and Jordan Rodgers. I can't think of a more inane duo. How many commentators talk about, and eat, ice cream while the FREAKING GAME IS BEING PLAYED!

The Athletic unfortunately has gone downhill rapidly. I have subscribed for a couple years but won’t be renewing.

I don't particularly care for Paul Finebaum. He goes overboard with his allegiance to the SEC. I am a big fan of the SEC but I also am a big fan of "tell it like it is." Marty Smith and Ryan McGee are obviously biased but they aren't afraid to criticize, when necessary. That's why Marty & McGee are my favorites.

Young was making play after play on his own and was the only reason Bama was in the game. Hooker was lighting it up but he was doing it for the most part within the design of the offense and given play. Bryce was running 'round like the big kid in a sandlot game pulling stuff out his a$$ to keep Bama from being routed. At least that's my recollection. You'll remember he was hurt and had been out a couple weeks going into the game and there was speculation he couldn't go. If he hadn't played Vols by fiddy! lol GBO

Josh Pate. Just type in Late Kick on YouTube. He’s the best by far

Young was the main thing that saved their season last year, with him gone I don't understand all the love they are getting this year. If he hadn't got hurt he would have been in NY as a Heisman finalist.

Agreed. Saw the game live and it was the best performance I’ve seen from a CFB QB

I guess i dont really know who the worst is. If they're bad, I don't listen. Probably just about anyone on ESPN these days but I only watch them when there's a game on.

Echoing a couple others here, Josh Pate from late kick live is the best. College football nerds are also really good.
