I still miss Keith Jackson. :p_sad:
Yeah man. I used to love the way he would say Alabama. That being said. I think that Nessler is really one of the best in the college game right now. I also like Todd, or Kirk H, either are good as a color guy. CBS really should think about what they are doing to their SEC broadcasts, in fact, we should write to the SEC and tell them to complain about the CBS team. They can't come up with anyone that knows his name is ROLANDO!?!

I'm sorry, but did anyone else notice in the Ark-Florida game, what Vern said after Childs caught the pass and ran 75 yds for the TD...then during the officials review of the play Danielson says," it is very close to being knocked out before he crossed the goal line"...and Vern says, "well then would they rule it an incomplete pass".....does he not have any knowledge of the game he is being paid to call.
It's getting harder and harder to listen to Vern. I was also getting tired of hearing Danielson talk about how Arkansas didn't "Show up" when they played Alabama. Like if we played them tomorrow they'd beat the hell out of us...

Danielson will use ANY excuse to make his man-crush Tebow look good, and clearly is not happy unless Timmay is singlehandedly dominating all of college athletics, and saving the entire world from al-Quaeda, the swine flu and Iranian fissionable material, all at the same time. Even so, at least the usual Vern/Gary-Tebow love-fest, while still nauseating, was toned down - a little bit.

Vern missed several calls - badly - during that game. One he yelled "INTERCEPTION!" when the ball went *boing* off the DB's helmet and out of bounds. Another on a long Arky running play, when he called a play dead when the RB "stepped out of bounds". Yes, the RB was running down the sideline, but he was not even CLOSE to the boundary. The guy needs to retire.

It was much better, but it still drives me nuts when they don't show things they should.

If there was a flag, show the ref until we know what the call is. Also, show a replay so we can decide if we think the call was good. It kills me when we know there was a flag, we don't know what it was for, and they are showing random shots of the crowd or the coaches, and there's no inication of what the result of the call is.

How hard can it be?
This was my gripe for the game too. We had a million penalties, but I barely recall ANY of them being replayed. I wanted to see whether they were legit calls or ticky-tack, but it seemed like ESPN never showed the replays.

Particularly all those block in the back calls. Not saying they DIDN'T happen, but unless I actually SEE them all, I have a hard time believing we were committing illegal blocks on practically EVERY return while USC was not...

I saw most of them during the play. I missed one or two, but if what I saw is any indication, they were all legit.

I just don't have that good of a "live-eye" for penalties, really.

I was just getting really annoyed because 66 on their O-line (the leg kicker) was blatantly holding ALL NIGHT and I think only got one call (besides the leg kick). And if I can catch it, it was pretty obvious. He just seemed to play dirty to me...

My rip-apart-referee doll is on the way. I SURE could have used one for my frustrations on Saturday night!
