Anyone else notice the football highlights from the Kesling era rarely feature Bob's call? It's almost always the TV broadcasters.
Rant incoming:
Kesling's got to be around 70 yrs old (not that there's anything wrong with that) and he's on his 24th season calling TN games. I know there's never going to be another John Ward and I've tried through the years to like Bob. My problem with him, he continues to fail to capture the mood of the football team and historical moments. He can't help it, he's suited to be a TV sports anchor. (To me, Mike Keith should have got the job in 1999. I'm not a huge Mike Keith fan but I think he would have been a great follow up to Ward.) I'm hoping Kesling will retire soon. His broadcasting style no longer matches the product on the field. Everything surrounding the program feels alive and exciting and the "Voice of the Vols" should match.
