Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[UTSuave’]

Fair enough but I don't believe he is the answer. There are a few coaches out there that have either won or made it to a super bowl that most likely don't have the mojo anymore as a HC in the NFL.

NFL isn’t my thing…I check in on the titans when they’re good and that’s about it…

Playing Chess

Yes
No
Who cares

Not chess---checkers

 

[mrmax86]

Seems like the perfect time for Mike Keith to jump ship.

 

[mrmax86]

SAAAAAAAAACCCKKK

IT'S ALBERT HAAAYNESWOOORTH

 

[Batman1948]

All the non-Vol fans that are Titans fans are not taking the well lol. Love it.

Both of them

 

[TN-POSSUM]

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.

 

[Batman1948]

Seems like you individuals are happy with the choice. I haven't listened to any Vols sporting event on the radio since the mid 90's. I have an invention called a Television.

Those TV guys are terrible too

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Correct. Someone always being a smart ass on here. You have a tremendous day...

You have a great day too friend!

 

[UTSuave’]

Oh you’re definitely talking about @butchna and @Glitch this duo is unmatched and undefeated

 

[Batman1948]

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

It's been his lifelong dream since he was in high school. Listen to his interview with Hubbs

He's always said the right things then. Kuddos for him.
I think it's great.

 

[knoxvol52]

You have a great day too friend!

Yea right

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Yea right

It's all in good fun.

 

[knoxvol52]

Those TV guys are terrible too

Didn't say radio was horrible, just said I haven't listened to radio broadcast in many years... Good grief

 

[Batman1948]

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

Do it and report back to us

 

[TN-POSSUM]

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.

Mike Keith grew up a VOLS fan, from a family of VOLS fans, Bob Kesling grew up a buckeyes fan, from a family of buckeyes. There will be a significant difference on the VOL Network this season.




*It's interesting to me that John Ward's last call was TN winning the 1998 national championship and Kesling's last call was a beatdown against his "childhood dream school". I hate to keep bringing it up but Mike Keith should have been John Ward's successor. But like Mike said "everything happens for a reason".

Either way, all is right on The Hill, and TENNESSEE will win another SEC and National Championship again soon and Mike Keith will be the one telling you about it on the radio.

I turn down the tv and listen to the radio now, with Bob. First, I don't hate Bob like many on here do. Second, I would prefer my mother-in law doing the play-by-play to Vern and Gary and it is even worse now with Herbstreit and Fowler. Those two make me want to harm myself.

 

[Type Orange+]

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

Mike is a Tennessee Vols fan, for sure.
I never disliked Bob Kesling.
I was a fan when he was the sports anchor and later their sports director at WBIR Channel 10 (remember the Bowl Brothers?).
But I couldn't listen to him announce Tennessee football games.
Mike's hiring as the Voice of the Vols makes me anticipate the 2025 football season even more.

Let's go!

Thoughts

Should be priority #1 right here.
Pay him. Get him.

 

[TheRain]

Buck is surprised.

To me.. there's nothing surprising about this. Most of us thought he would get the job when John retired. He really wanted it.

 

[GiggerVol]

I would love for Dave Maginnes to join Mike in the booth as his color guy. I know he isn't a UT alum but he knows his stuff and gets super excited at plays every game. He already does a Saturday morning show with Doug Mathews talking and analyzing the Vols. And whether you're a Titans fan or not, Mike and Dave do a super job together

 

[Type Orange+]

Thoughts

 

[Batman1948]

I'm curious if Mike will do basketball too.

Yes
He will start right now and just shadow Bob and the crew thru the rest of the BB season
Said he wanted to get an early start and not wait for 25/26 season to get his feet wet

[rikberry31]

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

Titans really have nothing now. They are really starting to make the Brown look good.
