So you're saying Tessitore can't multitask? The Vols Radio announcers job isn't 7 days a week.

Plenty of individuals have 2 different jobs in , hell Jesse Palmer is color commentator on College Football and the host a Cooking Contest on the Food Network.

It's absolutely a 6 days a week job though. Game prep alone is mostly a full time job. They don't just show up and broadcast, they watch film, memorize every opponents' players' names at every position on O and D, lots of meetings with all the broadcast personnel.

That doesn't even include the coach call in show and lots of other radio appearances.

And they need to be at practices getting to know the team.

My buddy at work told me he had heard that earlier about MK calling games for both teams. It sounded crazy but I guess they can make it work. Either way, I'm not believing anything until I hear it from RGW.

Simple solution, just have Carlos call the games and use AI Google StarLink Translate. We could broadcast in 7,500 languages.

They probably got a depth chart of opposing teams players in front of them.

You really believe they memorize EVERY opponents players # and name?

Yes. I know they do. The starters at least. I had some brief interactions with Mike Keith back in the day, and I've seen their prep. They do a ton of work outside of game day.

Hubbs brought up a good point asking what the voice of the Vols job will actually look like as far as responsibilities, multimedia, podcasts.

I'd bet it's going to maximize the outreach of that position and probably be even more involved than what Bob is doing.

I don't believe we will find a single person to excel at managing all the university's broadcasting related responsibilities AND be a great Voice of the Vols. Broadcasting has grown and changed so much over the past couple of decades. To me, Bob was a good at being the Director of Broadcasting in the sense of running the department, but an average radio Voice of the Vols.

This seems like the right time to separate the roles and have a true radio announcer focus on being the Voice of the Vols for football and basketball, and then have another person with broader expertise in multi-media broadcasting & mgmt handle the department. But jmho...
