Welcome Home, Mike Keith

[tricky13]

Mike is the best. I’ll be muting the games and listening to his broadcast like I have the Titans for 25 years.

It's an anonymous message board, some people use that to be an *******. Bob was good, not great. I was never one to bash him. I love Mike Keith, I think he can be great. I'm sure there will be some people that can't stand him. Like they say, you can't please everyone.

Right, but Keith was the choice that would please the most. I agree about Bob, good but not great, but not being great isn’t a crime. Keith annoys me sometimes but I think it’s a slam dunk hire. There will never be another John Ward, and I think fans need to stop making that comparison and hating on guys just because they aren’t him. Bama has a clown making up things about other schools and doubling down, so there are much worse play by play guys out there.

I'm excited to see what Mike comes up with, I hope he retires his "saaaaaccckkkk" or at least reserves it for crucial parts of the game. After every sack is a bit much, but even then, I ain't complaining.

Some people like chocolate. Some butter pecan. It’s OK to have different tastes and opinions. I like different takes. I’m not a big Kieth fan but I’ll learn to like him. I just hope he’ll leave saaaaaaack in Nashville.

I like announcers that show excitement. That’s why Bob was so bad. Keith is great. His enthusiasm oozes through the radio.

I think the contrast between JW and him would have been hard to deal with back in the day. Now may be a great time to pull this off. No doubt this guy is a VFL and deserves a solid honeymoon period. I am betting he gets it done.

Let’s freaking go!!!!!!

Yes, I wonder who will work with him for football games? Mike does a great job describing what is going on with the main details.

Mike Keith is MUCH better than Kesling

A ham sandwich is MUCH better than Kesling.

Huge news. So excited for this.

Also heard there will be a 5% retainer fee added to each ticket for every sport to ensure we keep him here.

As I grew up Mike was a great radio personality. We need him!! Guy is a UT homer, exciting and smart about the game. We need that!! instead of a fumbling, dull, boring, marble mouth.

WELCOME HOME MIKE.

Ugh…..wanted Wilkerson

So happy Mike is back home!...If We had hired anyone else I would've been disappointed..Radio is going to be fun to listen to again!

I agree about that, I think he will bring new stuff. I think he sees this is s totally new thing so I expect a fresh approach. I remember when he did Farragut games I didn’t like the way he called touchdowns for Farragut, but I also hated Farragut, so maybe that’s what it was.

Ugh…..wanted Wilkerson

you'll have him in baseball games

No blue font?

I don't believe in blue font. The best sarcasm is always tinged with some element of doubt.

It's a bittersweet day. It's sad day as a Titans fan and a great day as a Vols fan. Ultimately I'm happy that Mike will get to be known as the Voice of both the Vols and Titans. The timeline certainly makes sense. He's had a great quarter century run with the Titans but it's more likely that a signature moment will happen with the Vols in the near future. I know the Titans catch a lot of unnecessary hate on this site but the Titans had a great message about Mike's legacy with the team.
