"We can never get enough Gary Danielson," said no one ever.

That game can't get here fast enough. I hope Covid doesn't fuck this one up too. It's bad enough that we won't be avenging last season's loss to LSU but it would be unbearable if the barners get the bragging rights for another 365...by fucking default. They honestly think they are going to beat us in T Town because of a win over a HORRIBLE, I repeat HORRIBLE LSU team

never ever ever.....Broyles wasnt a good analyst...but not bad......only got barely enough football...didnt bitch about anything....
I remember the officiating was awful and very bias...often... but couldn’t do anything about it.... lots of calls changed games.....
I remember when Keith was on the #2 crew...
Bud Wilkerson crew was top crew....

I wish Gary would retire and they would have Nessler and Blackledge back together.

Only a few more years and this contract will be up. Then we can bitch about all the ESPN announcers. Beth Mowens included.

Ara P. wasn't bad! And we all knew where he came from!

In my opinion, Keith Jackson greatly raised the bar when it came to calling a game

Times were much different. People actually thought before they spoke and showed a some respect for people. So with that context, I really never heard anyone complain about Keith Jackson. Jackson was a legend and there was lots of excitement when you knew he was going to call the game because it meant it was a big game. With Broyles I just do not recall but again based on the times I doubt they did.

Danielson has actually gotten worse since Verne retired. I am honestly waiting on Nessler to tell him to stfu on a hot mike

And no I never ridiculed Mr Jackson and Broyles benefited greatly being paired with Mr Jackson

Boy, my Dad would've disagreed! He HATED when Ara was the color commentator. Probably the only announcer I can remember as a kid that my Dad had an opinion on.

Having Keith Jackson call your game was a testament to its importance, and a pleasure to watch.

A few of my favorite Keith Jackson quotes/advice. If only a few current announcers would take heed:

Never even thought about saying anything bad about Keith Jackson. I had a distinct feeling he really appreciated Alabama football and really respected Coach Bryant as well.
