What's with the announcers?

[Carl Pickens]

Dumb and dumber comes to mind

Ray Bentley, the one in purple has a Mississippi waterfall.

Mississippi mud flap IMO.

The half time show dudes name is Peter Burns. What were his parents thinking?

They called Worley Jason at one point too. And von north. They don't even look alike.

 

[OrangeLynx]

I emailed the SEC network just to complain about the announcers. Thats how bad they were

 

[Evol]

It is pretty remarkable that two people could manage to get jobs on television on the SEC Network and not know the mascots names. There's only 14 teams you're responsible for.

 

[OrangeIsLife]

Marvin Lane??....and they just both called Smokey, Smoke, had a debate and decided it was indeed SMOKE!!

Tony Stewart is our mascot?

 

[Vols_14]

They clearly did not care about Tennessee, nor were they even a little knowledgeable about Tennessee football. Despicable.

 

[VolStrom]

I can't believe that those idiots that called the game today called Smokey, our mascot, Smoke. What kind of prep is required to be a play by play announcer on the SEC network?

Apparently not any.

I was wondering the same thing ticked me off

Never heard of MARVIN Lane or EDDY Wolf. Who was the other wrong first name that the play-by-play announcer called? Can't remember but I believe it was somebody on defense. hmy:

Second string SEC Network vs quality ESPN regulars...they groom guys in games like this...don't be so picky...at least we got to see the game.

I'm going to call the SEC Network & ask them if they'll hire Jon Ward for our next game on TV. He could do better than these guys even at his older age! I'm sorry but this was just poor announcing.

They shouldn't even say the players first names if they don't actually know them. Just call all players by their last name. I don't even know if they could have done that. Geez!

Unless you had DTV. Then you only got to see part of it.

[Coug]

Did anyone else hear the one announcer say 104,000 in attendance?

I was smdh.

 

[The Sheriff]

That's pretty bad, they must be trollin'.
