Wake me when we fix this mess

I was listening to WRUF back in the 90's and some dumbass student intern was reading an intro. She apparently had no idea who Mick Hubert was. She struggled with the name, eventually introducing him as "Mark Herbert"
Anyway.
I'm not a Mick Hubert fan.
I said what I said.
We had Otis Boggs who was before my time but folks loved listening to him. He was replaced by David Steele who ditched us to join the Orlando Magic which led to us Hubert.
He's better than the Voice of the 'Canes Joe Zagacki (who is the absolute worst) but even the Voice of the Knights Marc Daniels (a UF alum) is much better than Hubert and as much as it pains me to say it, even that assnole Gene Deckerhoff (a traitorous UF alum) is better.
I don't have a problem with Mick's voice (though I'd prefer a little more southern in it), it's the content that's sorely wanting.
Hubert is mediocre; pedestrian at best. He's had two good calls that stand out in my memory, Green is behind the defense and Doering's got a touchdown. Everything else is forgettable clichés. His "oh my" is stolen, his "book it" is tiresome, and his "touchdown, tailor made" has been recycled enough times (Fred Taylor, Taylor Jacobs, Travis Taylor, Kelvin Taylor) to make you sick. You gotta know ole Mick was praying Jeawon Taylor would get a pick 6 or maybe Jawaan Taylor would catch a TD on a tackle eligible play so he could add a couple more "tailor mades" to his collection.
I'd fire Hubert and either hire Marc Daniels or bring in James Bates to see what he can do on the big stage. Bates is funny, has a good voice, and he's a Gator. Marc Daniels is smart and has a good voice, but boy does he have a face made for radio.

You must be a lot of fun at parties.
Oh my!I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, Mrs. Hubert.

As a former WRUF-FM employee in the early to mid-eighties, I concur. I grew up listening to Otis, he was a fantastic announcer; and I wandered over to the AM side on many occasions to chat with Otis and Jim Finch (“Heeeeeere come the Gators!). It was weird to see him in person after listening to him for so long.
Steele had a great voice and it was disappointing to see him take off.
Vettel was kind of a tool, but not too bad with the analysis.
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, Mrs. Hubert.
I seem to recall that, according to the donkey, sucking dong is one of the nobler aspects of being a member of the bar. Although I am not in a position to speak authoritatively on either endeavor (despite being a designated a total cucksocker by the the town drunk), I strongly suspect that the jackass can be trusted to render an expert opinion in such matters. Just sayin.'
Simmer down Dougie. I'd never listen to him call an FSU game. I have heard his calls of Tampa Bay Bucs games (but only when Jameis wasn't on the team). I understand he used to call the Bandits games (and I was a Bandits fan, SOS as head coach, Reaves as QB, great offense) but I don't have any specific recollection of the announcer.

All of you should be canceled.
