Brent Musberger Retiring at the End of the Month

[Chomper]

Wouldn't you just love to put Brent and Verne together in the booth?

Could we get Nat Moore to do the color?

 

[aka]

We're gonna miss all these old dudes. Can Brent take Jesse Palmer with him?

 

[Double Gator Dad]

Better than some broadcasters, wish him well in retirement. Who'da thunk Verne and Mushberger in the same year. Now if we can just get recruiting to pay off.

And yet, the worst of the very worst, Dick Vitale continues to ruin college basketball for most avid fans of the game.
Can we get somebody to sit down with him and convince him it is time? Please?

They probably won't because I think he's a FOX or CBS guy, but they should replace Musberger with Gus Johnson. He's hands down the most exciting commentator in the business. The guy absolutely loses his **** every time there's a touchdown. It's fantastic

Wtf? Where have you been?

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

Gus Johnson is a legend, but unfortunately he's with Fox right now. A small part of me died when he left CBS, he was the best part of March Madness.

Actually, I believe he berated Miami for being a bunch of coke snorting, 'roid pumping, whore humping, girl thumping, chest bumping, english language mauling miscreants.


No offense.

Divits, no offense taken, 'cause you have to admit, regardless, we were pretty good on the football field. I am looking forward to getting back to the glory days, but with our current choir boys with Rev. Richt leading the choir. We are currently 13th in recruiting and it is anticipated that we will end up in the top 10. What would top it off would be for us to get a couple of FSU flips.

saw he is helping to start up a Network devoted to Sports Betting. Which is perfect for him. He always slipped in scores that messed with the spread or the over/under.

I hope it works out for you but remember, Richt always pulled in good talent at Ga. He always had a hard time winning.

So if I understand your post, you are saying that it is more difficult to win games when you play by the rules to some extent and sign players with some morals?
FSU disagrees, they say you just don't have that same cache you used to have.

As a head coach he's 154-55. Not too shabby. He just lacked the big wins at the end of the season (i.e. SEC Championship).
He lead the Dwags to 5 SEC East titles (two were a tie) in 15 years, so about 33% success rate. Again, not too shabby. But UGA let him go for a reason - couldn't take them any further (kind of like Andy Reid in the NFL).
Mac's currently 100% successful at winning the SEC East and we can't get rid of him fast enough. Sad, but unfortunately true.

Thanks gatormandan. Sometimes a coach can get re-energized in a new setting. Our defensive coordinator, Diaz, for instance worked miracles with the defense this past year.

Well, if you look @ FSU guess you could say that. However, that is not at all what I meant. I want to have a winning team who play by the book, are respectful, of good character, good students, etc. and still winners. A lot of 'Cane fans, particularly us older ones, did not enjoy our well-deserved reputation. But, if anyone can repair it, I put my faith in Richt. IMHO, he is the best thing to happen to our program regardless of wins or losses. I briefly met him years ago in a hotel elevator with his Mom when he was a back-up QB to Jim Kelly and was impressed how mature and respectful he was.

Is he still alive?

Well, I used to respect him until he allowed his whole team to charge our endzone and act like a bunch of blithering idiots. It was pre planned.

Yes, if we could lock the door and turn off the mikes from the outside.

 

[Wuerffel4Pres]

Posting this here too. (This is in regards to the Florida-Oklahoma basketball game today)

In all my years of watching sports, I have never heard the announcers talk less about the game they are supposed to be commentating on than this game. Good riddance Brent and please follow him, Dick.

 

[GatorInGeorgia]

Good riddance. I haven't liked him since the 80's when he soundly berated Miami for months and months for running up the score on Notre Dame (58 - 7) Of all universities, Notre Dame who consistently put up scores in excess of 50's to 70's on lesser teams. They had just never experienced the shoe on the other foot so-to-speak.

Wasn't Musburger the guy in the Catholic vs. Convicts 30 for 30 who was adamant that it was a fumble by Cleveland Gary rather than a touchdown. Regardless of what one thinks about Miami as a program, that was clearly a TD (TERRIBLE CALL BY THE REFS) and whichever joker announcer claimed otherwise, after watching replays of that play for upwards of 30 years, is biased, blind or both.

But you do know Richt's gay don't you?
