Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[TN-POSSUM]

Like you I was totally wrong on this!

I thought he had too much creative control with the Titans media operation to pull him away, but I was obviously very wrong….Momma came calling

I copied/pasted a post from @DeerPark12 a few weeks ago that it would probably be Miss State's Neil Price (from Morristown), which I was really good with and sure that was the original plan. I also would have been good with John Wilkerson getting the nod. I never dreamed Mike Keith would leave the Titans but as dysfunctional as the Titans are, this is really not that shocking. I'm tickled to death with this announcement.

TENNESSEE IS THE VOLUNTEER STATE and we've got a legit VFL calling our games again.

Keith is one of us. Even if you never listen to him this is a slam dunk.

You enjoy listening to the commentary during games on that fancy device of yours? Most of us don’t. My fiber optic internet allows me to watch games on mute and listen to the radio call it

I IGNORE the comments on my device by the announcers. Unlike you I don't set on the edge of my seat waiting for announcers to make a snarky remark about Tennessee. I speak for myself and if you don't like that I don't listen to radio then that's your problem not mine.

I mean......I've heard him say "not interested" several times................ personally heard.
But always in the back of our minds is "home."

Mike Keith didn't want to take anything away from or intrude on Kessling because he has a deep admiration for and respect for the man.

That's what kept him from it IMO.

Good for you.

Wonder how/if this effects P Ryan

I hope so. Pat and Bob were too dry together


*I'd like to see Jayson Swain get the color commentary job.

 

[MarcoVol]

Buck is surprised.

Random - Just watched a vid of Buck speaking yesterday for the first time ever after hearing him on radio. Not at all what I expected him to look like.

Great interview - thanks for sharing. Pretty awesome at the end when Hubbs asks him what his Dad would think of this. As a new father who can't wait to take his son to Vols games it really hit me.

Agree powerful moment.
Congrats on your son.

I thought he already said he was retiring too

And one of the "Prides of BGA"

I have to confess I really didn't care for Mike Keith when he first started with the Titans. I thought his delivery was fake and his excitement didn't seem genuine. I think he's really grown as a play-by-play guy. I'm tickled he's coming home.

This truly is one of the greatest season in Vol sports.

Danny White has made us the best athletic department in college and we are dragging our sack over nfl teams now. Extremely thankful for our leadership at ut

I'd rather not drag my sack over the Rams, Bengals, and Panthers for starters, thank you very much.

SACK!!!!!!

Also, I guess ole Sean Sparks was right.

I hardly even pay attention to announcers unless they’re really into it (Gus Johnson for example). Other than that, they’re just there for some informational nuggets throughout the game.

Mike Keith knows the Titanics are a sinking ship. He jumped into a lifeboat and came home.

At this point they just need to bring Jeff fisher back…I’ve never seen a team completely be at the top and just fall like a elevator…like how bad did management get in a matter over 3 years they had s*** clicking

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Just saw the news..I can't believe Mike Keith is actually going to be the voice of the Vols.

This is awesome...great job once again by Danny White!.

 

[Type Orange+]

I am now looking forward to hearing on my radio this level of excitement and enthusiasm on football Saturdays.

 

[VolNash17]

There’s no better person to be the voice of the Titans for a quarter century and then the Voice of the Vols than Mike Keith. Nashville native, UT graduate and he’s only 57 so he could be here quite awhile. He’s outstanding. If you’re a Tennessean you know who Mike Keith is.

Jeff Fisher? Barf!! That would be even worse than the time PITT hired Majors back. Typically, the past is not the future.
