Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[MarcoVol]

If by noise you mean Tessitore then I’ll gladly take a Louisville Slugger to all my radios. He’s gotta have a top 5 obnoxious voice.

We need to go ahead and wrap up that title this year.

How are we playing all the exact same sec teams again? I thought this was the last year of having UF UGA Bama?

Mike Keith ain’t leaving the Titans.
It’s not going to happen…….

This will be like the “Grumors”

Well, I wasn’t going to say anything but...... my uncle said he saw Mike Keith at the Ingles on Emory Rd around noon yesterday. He said Mike was buying a rotisserie chicken, a half loaf of bread, and a pack of American cheese. I thought it sounded weird at the time, but after Kesling's announcement today, it all makes perfect sense. Mike Keith will be the next "Voice of the VOLS" and was in town to negotiate the contract.

So you think Mike Keith isn't going to leave his quote"beyond dream job" to take over Voice of the Vols?

 

[LoudOrange]

I hope you are right. Lol

The dates for all the SEC games all show the date as TBA.

POSSUM THOUGHTS: with @TN-POSSUM

So riding home from work today, I was listening to WNML 99.1. Normally I don't agree with much of what Tyler Ivens and Will West say, but today they sold me on John Wilkerson taking over for Kesling. Their main point, was that JW is already beloved by UT and the fans that tune in for his baseball call.

He also has 3 qualities that I personally want to hear in the "Voice of the VOLS". He's got passion for the University, he's extremely likeable, and he has a great distinguishable voice.

His age got brought up earlier and I couldn't find how old he is. He did graduate from UT in 1988. So he's maybe 60??? . (I'm behind some pages, so someone might have posted it).


After thinking a little more about it, John Wilkerson really is the perfect choice.

 

[Devo182]

Thank you Bob!! Had great memories with you and Pat as a kid

Let's give him a championship to go out on just like Jon!

 

[volsfan_17]

I would love Mike Keith. Would he leave the Titans though?

Couldn't he do both? Paul Keals does both Ohio State and Bengals calls.

 

[Devo182]

Don't a one of y'all complain if the next dude ain't John Ward cause there ain't no John Ward. That said, I hope the next guy is good at what they do.

Juan Ward would be a fantastic option. He and Reveiz bring the HEAT. Wilkerson a nice option too.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

BOOM

WHAT A DAY!!!
GO VOLS

I don't care about any of those qualities as much as I care about his ability. I care about how well he does the job, describing what's happening in such a way that people listening can visualize all the details in their mind. That's the most important thing and the thing Kesling is not good at.

@TN-POSSUM

Has given the job to 2 individuals in the last 15 minutes to be next Voice of the Vols.

I love Juan's highlight clips I hear posted on here but I don't think I want to listen to 4 hours of him on the mic.


*I do think having a Spanish broadcast is awesome and Carlos is perfect for it

 

[TrippieRedd]

@UTSuave’ this **** got me cryin dawg

 

[knoxvol52]

If AD Danny White is the individual who makes the hire to replace Kesling, it wouldn't be a shocker to see him go out of he box and make a non "ties to Tennessee" individual.

Already has proven he isn't afraid to do that by the HC choice of Lady Vols.

 

[Pridedad]

I hope you are right. Lol

Think about it. They are not moving the TSIO and we have to start SEC play earlier than that.

 

[Devo182]

It won't be Mike Keith but it will be someone young, talented and hungry. I have faith in DW to get this right.

If going Vol alumni and young, I could see Andraya Carter or Courtney Lyle.

So we agree on John Wilkerson?

 

[Devo182]

John Wilkerson deserves the job...if he wants it.

Agreed. Would readily enjoy a Wilk broadcast.
