A longtime friend of mine, he lives in Hoover, is a hugh Bama fan. After the game last weekend, he thought the PBP guys (Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson) were homers for the Aggies. Here in Texas, a number of FReepers on our local board thought the commentary was decisively in favor of the Tide.
Any opinions one way or the other? I thought they played it fair -- praising Sumlin and Manziel as well as Saban and McCarron pretty much equally.
I’m a life long Tide Fan. Announcers almost without fail pull for the underdog. When it aTm was up 14-0 they talked up Bama. When there were 35 unanswered points by the Tide that shifted. I used to turn the sound down if I watched on TV. But it is too amusing not to listen. Verne needs to retire. He called each QB by the other’s name countless times. It was a great game. Like all football games any team can win on any given day. aTm is a great fit for the SEC. Missouri? Not so much. I don’t like Manziel’s personality, but he is talented and will probably go pro early. SEC rules!
Oh! I forgot to say, Hoover Alabama sux! Have a great evening and the Aggies will be a force in the SEC. I would assume that recruiting is up just due to the move to SEC.
You did mean “huge” and not “hugh” fan didn’t you?
