The thing about verne is he does an Archie Bunker on names. Sometimes it is funny and sometimes frustrating, as in Orlando McCain after Ro had been a top linebacker in the league since he was a freshman.

For many years, I really detested Gary Danielson because he does come across as arrogant and condescending. It must be a northern thing to look at everything from the negative point of view. It took some folks on Tidefans, personal friends and radio heads on Jox to make me take the time to listen to what he says and not how he says it. Now I am fully on the side that Danielson is one of best, if not the best in the business. He doesn't just use cliches. He can see the strength and weaknesses in a team and show them to you. And he breaks down a play better than anyone else in the business.

As commentators, it is Gary and Verne's job to keep the game interesting even when it isn't. Coming out of half time, Danielson was trying to find some way for the Gators to get back into the game. He said basically that Fla should just start chunking it on every play...basically an act of desperation.

But he was deflated by CJ Mosley's interception and saw it coming before it happened. As the play unfolds, he says, "Oh no." quietly and then adds, "yeah." As CJ runs it for a touchdown, as if that put the cap on it for him. Not much else to say. Verne is your goofy uncle, but Danielson knows his trade.

I've always liked GD. He seems to know what's going to happen before it happens, just by what he sees as the play starts to unfold. As for Verne, if he would just stop with the "HOW DO YOU DO!" comments, I could live with the mispronounced names. Plus he needs to stay away from unneeded facts, like MI's father, that doesn't need to be mentioned.

The only reason you guys hated him before was because of his constant praise of Tebow and your hatred of UF during that period. Guys, they do that for the #1 team every year. GD has always provided the most insightful commentary of any college football analyst on TV. He's not changed his analysis at all, but it's UA that's on top now. That's why you think Danielson's great now. Is it that hard to see?
You are right on. I have seen so many post in the past against these two. I wondered what everyone was thinking. Now all they get is praise . GD knows his football. Anytime someone picks against us then they are no good. The only bad ones I remember were the Jefferson Pilot days.
