Happy to have Mike K. back on board. I also would have been happy with Wilkerson

One thing that needs to happen is to finally ditch the John Ward system in the booth. Due the good offices of the late CharterVol I got to sit in the John Ward Broadcast Booth and watch/listen to a game with the live feed in headphones.

It was clear the Kesling had simply adopted Ward's system. Literally there are game notes on "post-it" notes stuck to the window. It worked for Ward and, to his credit, Buckeye Bob made it work but it seemed clunky as hell in a age of tablets and info at your finger tips. I should imagine Mike used a much different system in the Titans booth.

One problem Bob K. was never able to overcome was that he was a TV guy who assumed you were watching the same thing he was seeing on the monitor.

Mike is a radio guy.

That being said I stand by what I said after that session in the booth (which are, bye-the-bye, THE BEST seats in Neyland Stadium):

“Buckeye” Bob actually played at Tennessee, fwiw

Mike Keith had a wonder gig with the Titans. There is probably not a better honor than to be the voice of an NFL franchise. However, let's face it, it is probably very difficult year after year being the voice of the Titans.

Like John Ward and Bob Kesling before him, he probably sees this as a dream retirement job.

We're getting a gudan.

I lost my grandfather Monday, he was 94 and as orange blooded as they come . His first game he and his brothers rode a bus from Sparta to Knoxville to see the Vols slaughter Vanderbilt 45-0 in 1945. He had the same seats in Q34 seats 20&21where he sat along with my grandmother for almost 40 years and then me and my wife for 20 years after .Beginning against UTEP in 1986 I was with him at countless games in those seats as well as Dallas & New Orleans in the early90’s , Legion field in 95, Atlanta in 98 etc… on the road . This video announcing Mike Keith’s return does a great job of conveying the family bond that we as Tennessee fans are fortunate enough to share with our loved ones and keep passing down to the next generations of Vol fans .

Unfortunately, Charles Davis is too big to be the UT Color guy. Charles has a lot going on, and is making big bucks.

In my humble opinion Charles Davis is one of if not the best announcers out there and that’s nothing against Mike Keith . I like the guy and think he will do great but Charles Davis is in another class altogether.
