Wonder who it’ll be in football? Pat Ryan announced his retirement during the OSU game.

Lots options assuming Ryan doesn’t change his mind. Jeff Francis. Andy Kelly. Heath Shuler. Jayson Swain. Condredge. Ramon Foster. Will Overstreet. Sterling Hinton (2 screamers would be too much IMO).

I bet there's some retirement reconsideration from Mr. Pat Ryan. I'd love to hear him and Mike together again.

I wonder how it went down when PR was replaced in the Titans’ broadcast booth. He might not be a fan of MK. There’s a good chance that they all knew that Keith would be the replacement when Bob announced that Ryan was also hanging it up after the OSU game.

Is Mike going to do basketball games? That's a lot of work.

If he does basketball, Mike Keith and Steve Hamer would be great. Steve has a great radio voice and is extremely knowledgeable

Yeah, I'm in the "don't love Hamer" camp, myself. Dane would be a good choice, but he's probably taking a significant pay-cut to leave SEC Network, so I doubt that's happening.

Dane is good. He's a bright, articulate guy who knows hoops. He's moving up the ESPN/SEC ladder. Hamer isn't the worst choice, but he's not the best either. is JJJ still around Knoxville?

Presumably Mike's analyst will not be Beth Mowins. :rolleyes:

Francis would be great.

The Sterling Henton thing needs to be over. That shtick has worn thin.

Bud Adams wanted a former Oiler/Titan in that position & everyone knows Bud did what he wanted regardless what happened to anyone else. I imagine Mike found out when Pat did.

I’ve never heard Mike call a basketball game. Be interesting to hear

I have a fear, call it the Kessling Syndrome, that Mike is going to be much better at calling football games than basketball games and will get roasted for it.
Bob was always much, much better calling basketball games, but because he wasn't great (good but not great) at calling football games, he took a lot of grief.

John Ward was also better at calling basketball games. But I also think basketball is a more “announcer-friendly” sport. I expect Mike will shine there too.

John Ward was the best basketball announcer I’ve ever heard. Nobody could describe the action like he could. You could allows know where the ball was

Absolutely! I’d love to have another JW and reward John Wilkerson for years of awesome work. Maybe he can bring his lucky charms to basketball.

Don't listen to Vols BB radio, but I didn't care for his call of Titans games. I think he is over dramatic..
I guess I was spoiled by Ward and to some extent Kesling.
On a 1-10 scale I'd give Ward a 10, Kesling a 6 and Keith a 2.

This. Not a big fan of Hamer teaming up w/ Keith.

On a different note, I went to UT the same time w/ Steve. He gave his all but those teams were so bad. Todays TN fans would be shocked how bad we were.

I was there and you are speaking truth. We were an offense to the game of basketball on many occasions during those seasons.
