Least-favorite announcer of college football games

McDonough's been phoning it in for five years, ever since ESPN (in his opinion) screwed him over by taking him off BCS games.

If he's anything like his dad, he's a resentful bastard. And, yes, he is buried on the Friday night games.

Never read that here. Glad that it's a "legit" reason, not because the guy was a drunkard (as some here speculated at first).

That being said, Ward/Gottfried a couple years ago was brutal -- it was the year they ended up doing most of Penn State's games, so I got to listen practically every. single. week. Mike still was early in his recovery.

Pre-stroke, Franklin/Gottfried on the prime-time game was awesome.

Bob Griese made reference to Brad Nessler's pink tie. Nessler says "Thank you, it's for breast awareness month.

 

Anyone who's ever been treated to the joy train-wreck that is Jefferson-Pilot Lincoln Financial's SEC game of the week knows this discussion begins and ends with Dave Neal. My God. A three-yard gain is a ninth-inning World Series grand slam.

Actual quote from a broadcast earlier this year:

A group of Auburn fans were holding a sign that read "Lou Holtz for Congress."
NEAL: "Lou Holtz for Congress... why not the Senate?"

The best? Ron Franklin, hands down.

 

I thought Pam Ward was the home announcer for Northwestern?

 

Mike Gottfried has always been an apologist for the coaches. Raves about the coaching staff even when teams are disorganized messes on the way to losing seasons.

 

Got to agree with Hammerpants. Ron Franklin is top shelf and Brent Musberger is the pits. I'm lucky since I got to hear Ron Franklin while he was on the air in Big H before leaving to go net. Musberger, I'm unlucky antime I hear him. Bring back the Keith Jackson type.

 

Holly Rowe doing Penn State game today - God is she hideous.

 

Petros Papa-something-really-greek and his partner in crime for today's crApple Cup. God, FSN-NW needs help.

 

Talking about looks or the actual commentating?

 

Commenting - clueless

Looks - not fair to say but..........given the choice I would prefer Stacy Dales or Erin Andrews

 

LOL?

 

And they're the top pairing for FSN on the west coast.

Be glad you weren't subjected to Lincoln Kennedy, who joins Juan Roque in the FSN unlistenable Hall of Fame.
