Least-favorite announcer of college football games

[Dan Rydell]

Welcome to my nightmares:

Sean McDonough: Bland and boring, no passion behind the mic. Even in a big game.

Mike Gottfried: Babbling old fart. Loses track of what he's talking about. Painful to endure.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

Begins and ends with Tim Brant.

 

[Claws for Concern]

Musberger

 

[Point of Order]

Chris Spielman - most annoying
Friday night ESPN Broadcast (Spielman and McDunough) - worst overall major network broadcast
Bill Curry - most pretentious
Mike Gottfried - lost his fastball long ago
Gary Danielson - talks the most/knows the least

Todd Blackledge - easily best in the business/carries the broadcast
Eric Collins - most underrated/underutilized PxP man

She "announces" at "College football games"
Didn't specify PBP or color only...

Try Trev Alberts. Now that he's gone in Bristol, he's found CSTV.

Absolutely murdered the game for which he was assigned for color. Didn't know the region ... that's fine, but if you don't, STFU when those reference arise. He has knowledge, but there's a smarminess to him that still makes one want to smack the taste out of his mouth.

Seems like everytime I see Eric Collins, he's butchering something obvious in observing the play-by-play. I don't tape all games like Dr. Z, and I can't give you a specific example, but I'm never surprised when he botches something on a broadcast.

I'd rather take a boot to the nuts than listen to Bill Curry.

The guy did have a stroke. That's why he's only on the ESPNU games now.

ahem ... slappy, I'm still "waiting" for a "decision"

 

[forever_town]

I can't think of too many broadcasters I HAVE to listen to. Usually when I watch a game, I mute it and do my own play-by-play.

One time when I watched a college football game, I noted the time (just under two minute in left the first half) and said "that's an eternity in college football." As soon as I finished that, the announcer (whoever he was) said pretty much the exact same thing. Gave my cousin a laugh.

Has that ever been confirmed?

Seen it as speculation here, that's it.

 

[Johnny Dangerously]

Ron Franklin might be my favorite. He's solid.

I don't spend a lot of thought on who my least-favorite announcer might be.

It is accurate. I seem to remember someone from the B'ham News getting the confirmation on that.

 

[BigSleeper]

I stopped watching games with the sound on about five years ago. Nothing the announcers say matters that much. I do miss Keith Jackson, though.

 

[Hammer Pants]

Ron Franklin is my favorite.

Musberger annoys me more than anyone.

 

[Pilot]

Does Lou Holtz still call games?

I seem to remember him from a game this year, but I have to assume I was mistaken because he hasn't been mentioned yet and this thread has no credibility if he actually does still call games and didn't get mentioned yet.

Hell, even if he doesn't he's still an embarrassment to the airwaves. When people lose the ability to talk, they lose the ability to host a fricken' television show. It's like if we lost the ability to type.

How long do you think you'd last if your Friday night gamer showed up like this:
