Have there ever been two more anti Tennessee announcers in sports? It is blatantly obvious that they always favor our opponents. I'd love to have Musberger and Herbie call one of our games.

You are crazy. They said plenty of nice things today. They are pros. In case you've missed it, there haven't been a lot of positive things to say about the Vols in their CBS SEC games for about 5 years--we're usually getting smoked. They clearly wanted that North TD to stand to tighten the game up--that was obvious. They are pretty good actually.

I felt like they were fair. There was some extra Georgia banter, but that's to be expected with a national champion hopeful playing.the only reason we were on national television was because of them.

I would have to agree with armchair...this was definitely one of the better games the two have called for us, especially Danielson.

I had no problem with the broadcast. They had good things to say about both teams. They pointed out the good and the bad about both. I quit listening to Bob about 4 years ago because anything is a better option.

I thought they called a great game plus they had Great Things to say about Butch especially in the 4th

They know Butch gets it.

I will say gary constantly talked about how untalented we are. He's not wrong, but it's not really needed especially after getting kicked around by Oregon.

As much as those two annoy me I have to agree with previous posts. Those two called a good game.

I was with you until you mentioned Musberger.

Yea, I hate to say it...99% of the time I would agree with you OP, but I feel Danielson did a pretty good job today, Verne is just....well Verne.

They pull for one team: Florida. Other than that... they're just dumb. I mean they put the names on a teleprompter for them and how many times does Lundquist STILL screw up names? Danielson says really stupid stuff then contradicts himself two or three plays later.

It was hard to watch them during the Tebow Florida years....pretty sure Gary stuck some Tebow pages together in Florida game day media guides :eek:k:

THIS!

I think Verne had the creepiest obsession with Tebow though....He reminded me of Herbert from Family Guy

You must have been in a crowded and loud bar or wear a hearing aid. Those two guys are the worst announcers ever. They make it obvious who they want to win every week. Verne can't pronounce anyone's name correctly and Gary is extremely critical. For example, he said a Tennessee player blatantly ran into the Georgia kicker when no flag was even thrown. There were many instances where he spoke negatively about Tennessee. Tebow was God to them and now they are on the Manziel train. They suck and are totally biased.

I actually got the feeling they were pulling for us towards the end.

They were covering their bets in case we did win.

Did anyone notice after our go ahead touchdown Vern said Palardy wasn't known for kickimg into the endzone? I realize last year maybe but he just sat there and witnessed several before go through the endzone.

Anyone catch when Verne confused Butch with Dooley in reference to the LSU game a few years back? He said Butch almost got his first win against LSU but caught himself and shut up real fast.

Nah, I think these guys just basically spend three hours in a booth looking for something to talk about. Can you imagine? I sure couldn't do it. They had some good things to say about the Vols, but when it came down to it, seems like Danielson was rooting for the Dogs to pull it out. All in all, though, the game was called pretty evenly.

You're crazy Gary is always trying to be positive about us.

Poopburger hates the SEC expect maybe Bama.
