I love Brent. It's his voice (along Keith Jackson's) that embodies college football for me.
Another thing I've noticed when talking about announcers: Everyone always "hates" all the announcers, who does anyone actually like?

I used to hate him (used to call hum Mushbooger), but after having him call so many of our games in our 2002 NC season, and with the immortal "Holy Buckeye!" call, I now want him over everyone else to call our games.

Exactly, exactly. His enthusiasm is amazingly genuine, you can tell he loves to call a game. Unlike a lot of guys like Keith Jackson who sound like they just wanna get outta the booth asap. |

Obviously talking about a different level here (I don't know if he's ever called a game of any significance), and maybe I'm a homer for picking this one out, but I actually think Spielman calls a pretty good game. |

For my $, it just doesn't get much better than Pam Ward.

My theory stems from announcers trying to be as unbiased as they can be (it's tough for them sometimes). Analysts and color guys (girls?) try to make unbiased observations about a game, and then when a fan of another team hears someone say something less than positive (negative?) about their team and all of the sudden that guy's anti-Team X.
Side note: When I bought the first OSU game on GamePlan (stupid Indiana didn't broadcast the game), I got to hear Coop do a game. Sounded like he was truly excited when OSU did well. Good to hear him. |

I thought that he was always gunning for us to lose in 2002 so he could get his dream match up of Choklahoma and Miami. He always talked about how well these two teams matched up. I also think he has a thing for meatchicken. |

I find Musberger both annoying and entertaining. Daniel Son annoys me mostly, but he does know the game.
These guys always sound like they're wasted by the end of the game. I always think Griese is juiced and today's game being 3:30, he should be in fine form.
Look for Swann to talk about Ted Ginn since he was at the Big 33 game and watched Ginn fly by everybody in that one.
