Man.. it's bad enough that we are subjected to Mark May and the Lisping Leprechaun on Saturday afternoons on ESPN... but to have to listen to them call a football game? :scared
Thank God for the MUTE button

Yeah, I've heard a lot worse. I don't like Mark May at all. I love Lou, but can see where he can be annoying. "Maybe he's just not a very good announcer"...in my best self-depricating Lou Holtz voice...
Rece is really good though, so overall I don't mind these guys that much.

Reece is good...Ron Franklin is great. I dont really have any big issues with Holtz. May can suck a fat one though, he really chaps my hide. There really aren't many I like, but May, Corso, and the Robin lady are the ones i hate the most.......and pretty much anyone on Jefferson Pilot
I caught the game Saturday night and although I am a fan of Ron Franklin, he missed call after call. I was wondering if it was just an age problem or if he was nipping some jack between plays.
jdp1152, jefferson pilot is awful. Steve Martin isn't that bad, but Doc Walker is downright awful. He is stupid as shit. Has no idea about any kind of football strategy at all. All he wants is a "playmaker." He will use the word "playmaker" about 15 times a game...literally.
I realize you need people to make plays and you need heart and desire, etc...
But, you also need to punt on 4th and 2, you also need to play zone, etc.
All this moron wants is this guy to beat that guy b/c he wanted it more.
I despise "Doc" Walker.

I like Ron Franklin. I miss seeing him doing games with Bob Davies. Davies can never get that chair before Ron gets there, but Davies will out-drink him every time.
Then again, I do like seeing Bob Davies with Musburger and Herbstreit.
Davies is taking shots like mad, Musburger is worried about the spread, and all Herbstreit cares about is the final horn so he can attend to his next piece of 19-year old ass.
God, I love college football!!!

nothing is worse than Bill Curry.....I heard that assclown say that a QB could "throw a greasy pork chop past a pack of hungry wolves" once and its only gotten worse since. I am biased in liking Ron Franklin I suppose.....he played golf with my dad and I when I was just a kid back in Houston.
Who talks s l o w e r.....Mike Gottfried or Bill Curry. Either way, its pretty painful. Luckily when Gottfried finally spits it out, Pam Ward is right there to put her 2 cents in. Actually Pam isn't too bad compared to a lot of others.
Chris Spielman blows. He seems to always have the noon big 10 game on ESPN. I don't think he has ever agreed with 1 pass interference or late hit on the QB. His bias for defense is just as bad a being biased for one team over the other
It is amazing to see how many of these guys have no clue what is going on in the game... Maybe it is because they are way up in the booth, but if I am catching stuff on TV, you would think they would be able to catch it.
I catch myself saying the same thing about the announcers as I do about coaches. I just watch anbd wonder how these morons got a job.
I think Mark may bets on these games, just listen to some of his reactions.

I think that he sucks the most out of all the ESPN guys. He always makes RAP MUSIC references during the game.
DREAM CAST
1) Mark May
2) Rod Gilmore
3) Joe Theismann

I don't know what happened but 3-4 years ago I loved the Saturday night ESPN pairing of Ron Franklin and Mike Gottfried. Then they hosed it up by getting the ND reject Davie in the booth for a few years.

Ron Franklin & Keith Jackson are the best announcers of my generation without a doubt.
Lincoln Financial's (formerly Jefferson Pilot) SEC team of Dave, Dave, and Dave are horrid. Lou & May are pathetic too.
Nessler is my favorite. He's good in hoops too. Not a big fan of Musberger, tends to over dramatize a lot of things.
