A classic example of NOT waiting for one's blockers.

I have to give Mike Tirico his due. He nailed every player's name on that play.

well yeah, because unlike certain other ABC and ESPN broadcasters, he actually watches the game instead of the TV screen in front of him.

A lot of them just have the color commentators watch the game while they do other things. Tirico is good enough to take care of all of it, which is why he got bumped upstairs.

Deservedly so. I'll be interested to see who Fox picks up to do their bowl games.

Bobby Bowden and his team looked like they were just mailing it in almost all of last season. If that doesn't change, FSU's got a long season ahead.

I could've sworn that it was already decided, but I can't remember the name right at the moment.

I think that had a lot to do with the fact of WHO they were playing.

Being that they were a relatively young team last year, they played to the level of their competition.

It's a problem that Miami has too.

I don't know if they've picked up a partner for him yet.

They might be waiting for someone at ABC/ESPN's contract to run out.

yeah but who?

Herbie and Spielman are both locked up until the next decade or so we've been led to believe....

I can't imagine Mark May or any of the others getting out there.

Maybe they will pick up Trevvie-pooh off of the scrap heap?

Oh God not him. I still couldn't believe he was on CNN/SI's NFL pregame show.

LOL

just watch....

That's what he quit a cushy job at ESPN over. He couldn't handle it that Herbie was getting all the run and Trevvie was known as Mark May's punching bag.

UT definately lost a lot of their big guns, but I am of the mind that they should be #1 until someone beats them. But then I don't understand the rankings system in the least.

Every time he told May he disagreed with him I couldn't help but think to myself "And you're qualified to disagree with him because???".
