Shane Matthews to provide football color commentary

Gator Great Shane Matthews Joins Gators Sports Network as Football Analyst - Florida Gators

I thought he deserved his own thread. So what do you think about this choice?

Mathews accomplished a lot a Florida, yet all I remember is the out.

Looking forward to this season of changes.

i went to verify before i made a convicted felon commentating on potentially future convicted felons joke and discovered he pled to a misdemeanor. also didn't realize he was in the nfl for 14 years. i see him from time to time in dave's deli in tioga sitting quietly by himself, looking slightly depressed.

He has the most boring persona on the radio. His podcast is trash. Not sure how he’s going to be the color commentator.

You spend years with food being given to you at no charge and suddenly that $8.95 sandwich isn’t looking so attractive. Especially if you’d just tried to trade a Kool for a bag of chips and the cashier said no. He’ll come around.

The pick 6 will forever define him in my mind.

I have seen him around town a few times and I came away with the same impression. He comes across like a miserable guy that’s close to losing the will to live.
I hope he cheers up in time for the football season.

I can't wait for him to start lecturing us fans during games. At least his personality will mesh with the new play-by-play guy

I could be misremembering, but I thought Shane was the one who was pissed that Muschamp got fired. He's been combative towards us dumb fans who don't know football for awhile.

 

[AuggieDosta]

I look forward to his knowledge but question his ability to be the color commentator as he is clearly white. I just hope he takes Zyrtec to help clear that perpetual snot bubble in the back of his throat that makes him sound like he's gurgling while talking.

Meh

Birmingham, the first SECCG. I was there and lost a bet, had to put on a elephant hat at the "Tide and Tiger". The next year I watched the roles reverse as my friend put on an gator hat!

 

[deuce]

I echo what Slug said!

 

[oxrageous]

This guy turned on the Gator Nation years ago. I don't know anyone who can stand him. Hideous choice.

 

[TN G8tr]

I will reserve any bad comments in the meantime until he gets going and I've had a chance to hear how he does. With that said.....he's said some shyt in the recent past that has me wondering if there is a drug screen check during the hiring process.

He definitely was not my first choice or even on the radar. Was hoping for Batesy or Doering.

Is gray a color?

Maybe it's reverse psychology. We'll spend so much energy hating on Shane, we won't have much energy left for the guy that isn't Mick. Brilliant!
