I have had a chance to meet Bob. He is a genuinely nice guy, good for him!

 

[GrayWaterCanine]

Longevity matters.

 

[Rocky Top T]

Nice guy, terrible as voice of the Vols

 

[KTrain]

From a 1972 Walk-on Fullback VFL, a great turn of events walk-on to Voice of the Vols Congratulations Bob on an outstanding career.

 

[WillisWG]

John Ward, one hard act to follow. I like Bob, he has been my go to for years...just can't listen to ESPN or CBS.

 

[VOLfrombama]

Welp, nothing left to do but retire!

I've seen him at Sam and Andy's out in Farragut a couple of times.......

That is great news! Perfect time to hang em up!

 

[Voluble2]

Cosmic justice would be getting the guy who did Davis' nameplate to misspell Bob's name on the plaque.

 

[WillisWG]

Welp, nothing left to do but retire!

Ward retired at 69...Bob there now.

I don't get the BK hate, he bleeds orange

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Longevity matters.

Came here to say the same thing.

I don't get the BK hate, he bleeds orange

It’s simple. He’s just not very good at calling the game on radio. He doesn’t say the score often enough. He doesn’t say the down and distance enough. He doesn’t give you a good visualization of what’s happening during a play.

People don’t hate him because they have something personal against him. Many UT fans just don’t like the way he calls games.

 

[NATHAN05]

That is great news! Perfect time to hang em up!

I remember what happened the last time a Voice of the Vols called it quits...........

 

[GameTime]

Hell of a nice guy....Congrats Bob.

 

[the_great_pumpkin]

Hell of a nice guy....Congrats Bob.

Cheggerboard Bob in his younger days.

 

[VOLLeeann]

All the pieces are in place for Bob TO RETIRE

 

[madbamahater]

I thought the was a retirement congratulations

 

[Jackcrevol]

I don't get the BK hate, he bleeds orange

what a turn of events!

Nice try Bob

Besides being painfully vanilla, inaccurate with names, and slow on the calls, he’s fine. Fulmer bleeds orange, but was a horrible AD. Bleeding orange is how he got that job too. Doesn’t change the fact he was bad at it. .

 

[brockytop]

LOL. If he can get in the HOF than anybody can whether it be ability or longivity.

It's TIME...to quote the Voice J.W.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

As Don Rickles would say...

"Congratulations Bob! Now it's time to quit."

I don’t know of anyone who says they hate Kesling as a person. The fact is that as a sportscaster, he’s woefully lacking in many ways.
