I'm watching a replay of the 2018 $EC Championship game and I'm being told that Georgia is awesome. They are up 28-14 midway through the 3rd RN

I believe that was the last game of thier season. Not sure they even played in a bowl game.

Someone mentioned Sean McDonough and I owe that guy an apology.  I used to rail against him but then, one day, ESPN stopped putting him with Matt Millen.  Once that happened, I liked him  a lot better.  A lot of those guys are handicapped by working with a retard.

I gotta admit I miss Jack Dale calling our games, RIP.

You just felt like you were with family when his voice filled the airwaves.

Not a Tech fan but raised in west Texas.  Jack Dale was the best at describing the situation and setting.  I thought he was best at basketball...”He maaaade it”

I thought the team that called our last two games were quite fair, impartial and head and shoulders above most from the regular season.

Craig Way.  

Bill Schoenig (sp?)

Old School: Frank Fallon

Always enjoyed Joe Morgan and Harold Reynolds during CWS.  Like Big Ben McDonald as well.

Keith Jackson and Chris Schenkel are the Kings.

Nessler is college football for me.  Klatt is fantastic as well.  McDonough was terrible at NFL but he works very nicely in the college game.  

No one has mentioned him yet but Brock Huard is one of the best guys working CFB for ABC/ESPN. 

McDonough and Millen were a beating. But McDonough and Speils were gold. Their personalities match so well, and neither of them talk too much (cough) Herbie (cough).

 

Like here:

 

After the play they give us 10 seconds to just process it.

 

BTN has used a guy who does KC Royals games. I think his name is Ryan Lefebver? He is GOOD. Calls it almost like a radio broadcast. We need more of him.

 

Joel Klatt is a brilliant man, and he explains stuff so well. His partner Gus Johnson...grows on you.

Klatt and Spielman are the two best ex-players at explaining small nuances that non-players wouldn't necessarily know.

Martin Tyler.  The man has been in the commentary box for many of my favorite Manchester United moments.

Ian Darke if we're going futbol with it.

Anybody remember L. G. Dupree? Tips always said the L. G. stood for "Long Gone."

Historically

I really enjoyed the Sunday Night Baseball crew of Jon Miller and Harry Morgan as they were on every Sunday from when I was 1 until I was 21. On the college football side give me the 11AM Big XII match-up between Colorado and Texas Tech with Joel Meyers giving the play by play. I'll also take an Astros booth of Bill Brown and Alan Ashby.

 

Current:

First on the color side is Razor and right behind him is Geoff Blum. Play by play I'll take Sean McDonough or Brad Nessler. I like Fran Fraschilla in college basketball. Pro football has to be the Sunday night crew of Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth but that's mainly for nostalgia reasons.

 

This is such a terrible post.  Harry Morgan?  And Geoff Blum might be the only guy dumber than Joe Morgan who has ever been on TV.

Fucking hell, just go ahead and throw in Lowell Galindo while you're at it.

Geez...I realize Morgan and Reynolds aren't everyone's cup of tea but Galindo bad?

I know I’m in the minority here but I hardly ever even notice who’s announcing until surly starts to complain.

"Southwest Conference Highlights," presented by the Humble Oil & Refining Company. . .

Daryl "Razor" Reaugh. The Dallas Stars all-time color commentator is my favorite.

You'll need a thesaurus to listen. He enjoys employing difficult words, but knows how to turn a phrase.

I feel like I'm reading one of those best/worst threads on the Music board, where I have no idea who's trolling and who's serious.

Good:  Gus Johnson, Joel Klatt, Todd Blackledge, Brad Nessler, 

Bad: Gary Danielson, Herbstreit.

I don't remember his name but the old guy who the big head who worked games with Brady Quinn was awful.

Paging @Goo Punch.  Wish I could also remember who posted that imitation of Galindo announcing the kid who lost his ice cream going after a foul ball.

As much as he seems like a nice guy, I cannot stand Blum on Astros broadcasts.

Whwn I stream the games, I’ll pick the opponents’ broadcasts almost every time.

Love it when Bagwell is on and enjoyed the Big Puma on Blum’s recent vacation.( Twinkie story is gold!)

BAD ANNOUNCER:  Petros Papadakis 

 

 

 

Edited by LTtxfan

I miss Ron Franklin

I like Ian Eagle and Jim Spanarkel

most of the NCAA tourney pairings are good as well

I like Jeff van Gundy

I like Jessica Mendoza in the role she has

Jim Nantz is still pretty great at golf and the tourney 

the soccer name's mentioned above, Darke, Arlo White, Tyler

 

as far as awful announcers go, Lowell Galindo is worse than Dave Lapham, who makes Ric Renner look like Keith Jackson

This should go on Lowell's tombstone.

Check Kern Tips out on one of the greatest outpourings of aggy tears of all time:

(BTW: I played against that idiot Brotherton. It didn't surprise me when, after the interception, he tried to lateral when all he had to do was just fall on the ball. He kicked my ass, all right, but I got the last laugh a couple of years later when this happened:)

The fan frantically waving “incompletion” on the aggy interception in the end zone is Bill Little .. if I recall correctly the oral tribal history of that game. 

Good call on Joel Myers from earlier. 

Spero Dedes needs more National play. 

Marv and Czar(Fratello) needs to be paired up again. 

Dan Shulman is good. 

Josh Lewin and Tom Grieve were a good tandem for the Rangers

Yup. I especially liked it when he called the whole city of Austin a cesspool.

Jack Dale.

I think Gus Johnson is a dumbass with a fake deep voice and tough guy "footbaw" persona.

Dave Lapham is really bad as the Bengals radio color commentator. Always steps all over the play by play call.
