🏈 Wow! Tim Brando leaving CBS!

[JoshB]

If I have to watch this guy on the SEC Network everytime I turn it on I may puke. Add in Tim Tebow? Good lord whats next? Chizik? :shock:

 

[alabama mike]

Not a fan of Brando but I wish him well.

 

[rammerjammer]

If I ever get to meet Pat Sajak, I'm kicking him square in the junk!!!! He beat out Brando to host Wheel of Fortune, and college football has never been the same since.

 

[bamaraider]

Thank god.

 

[tidentrue]

Thank god.

that he is leaving CBS or possibly being on the SEC Network??

Leaving CBS. I had no idea he would be joining the SEC Network.

You've not missed a thing. A few here are speculating he might. He might.

He's moving onto something else...no one knows what, where, when,...

 

[CtrlAltDel]

There isn't a network out there that wouldn't snatch up Gary Danielson if given the opportunity.

You'd be hard pressed to find a color commentator who puts in more time on his homework before games. I hope he sticks around as long as he's able to do so...

You are right, Terry. Lurne Vernquist is also a hot commodity, Beam swilling and all.

Jamarcus Russel.

Rumor is that he is, or was, headed to the LHN (Longhorn Network) as owned by ESPN.

For all that is holy I hope that's correct. We don't want him on the SEC Network and I can find nothing better for that worthless channel LHN than getting that annoying bastard Brando.

You ou guys seem to have this thing with hating certain media personalities. Why? It's pointless. Turn the channel to someone else. Brando isn't that bad. I kinda like him.

OU guys? You forget where you are for a second?

I happen to agree with you...I'm not one that gets caught up in what an announcer or color commentator has to say. They're just voicing an opinion.

Yes, I meant Aabama fans. I see a lot of "this media guy is good. This one is terrible" fact statements from Alabama fans.

I don't have a problem with commentators per se there's just some that I would rather not commentate the game I'm watching. Brando would be one that I would rather not listen to announce Alabama games.

As for your "I see a lot of this media guy is good. This one is terrible" statement it's that way with EVERY fan base of EVERY team. Yes, including including the fans of that mediocre team in Austin

 

[cartag]

But Verne can't even remember players' names. Or what just happened. BTW, I think Finebaum is an equal opportunity agitator, always supporting the winner.

Brando made himself hated by Bama fans and by southerners in general with some of his comments in the past. To like Brando would require more of an explanation than to dislike him.

Back in '91 (yes, Old Timer. I'm a Bama fan living in the past...), Brando shot his mouth off during the football season about Bama. When he came to Tuscaloosa to cover a basketball game, we (the crowd in Coleman) wouldn't let him do his pre-game commentary (into the camera). He had to stop because we were all so loudly booing and heckling him. Old Timer, elephants don't forget. We still don't like the SOB.

That's because we have time to talk about other things unlike Texas fans who need to be worried about becoming a factor again nationally which you are most certainly not. Saban's got our program under control which allows us to talk about Tim Brando and who is going to win the curling Gold in this year's Olympic games. :jackoff2:

It's not something unique to Bama fans. I hear the same from fans all over the nation.

Brando happens to be the target in this thread because the Alabama program is discussed so often. A lot comes from his inability to separate opinion from reporting, commentary from attempts to agitate.
