It's bad enough that Bradshaw played at Tennessee, a transgression that I had almost forgiven him for because he has been very complimentary of our team all season. But when I saw his son wearing that boog t-shirt that did it for me. That's a double whammy. How in the heck could a father allow his child to stray from the dark side to an even darker side?
The only issue I've had with Bradshaw is he is way too vocal in carrying the water for Pearl. I don't think I've ever heard him broadcast a game where he doesn't throw in "well, coach pearl ...". I suspect that's where the kid having the barn t-shirt came from. He's a Pearl fan before he is a Vol fan.
They went 4 possessions without talking about the game and talking about their kids. Family is great, but a college basketball game isn't the place for that mickey mouse crap. Talk about the game.
Well after last night we did learn that Awgbarn has the youngest team in the NCAA. We also learned that half the game had the worst camera angles one can imagine.
Its not just him. ESPN has turned to absolute trash broadcasting live sports, which is all they are good for in the 1st place. No reason they need their announcers broadcasting from home. We get all these rabbit-hole bits where they show their damn house, family, dogs, etc., and talk about their playing days and coaches, all while the game plays out and they ignore it. Then last night we had to watch a huge chunk of the game through a Ring camera. It was the....worst....broadcast I have ever suffered through.
We used to suffer through the Jefferson-Pilot and Raycom broadcasts, so that's saying a lot!
I use to really enjoy Tom Hammond and Larry Conley call the Lincoln Financial SEC Game of the Week. I think it went to Raycom before Jefferson Pilot took the sponsorship and Tom Hammond worked with Joe Dean Sr. I loved hearing Dean say “A little string music from Tuscaloosa Alabama Tom”
ROLL TIDE!!!!
Those announcing crews for SEC basketball from before the SECN were actually good to great when compared to anyone we have calling a game today. They all had personality and some even had favorites but could call the game and focus on the game instead of wasting 1/4 of the time spewing nonsense no one in the audience gives a single #$#% about. Brando in spite all of his faults and cajun homerism was a great play by play guy for basketball.
However, the cameras and graphics on those old broadcasts were 15 years or more behind the times but it was still better than what we've had lately for overall entertainment.
In the old days you would get one or two SEC teams televised so the on air talent was top of the chain. Despite a pandemic we are getting to watch all SEC games even if the production is not of the highest standard. I agree that broadcasting from home leads to a lot of unrelated BS but we are still seeing the games. I’ll take it. I love watching basketball.
Will agree with the announcing crews for those games. My main complaint was the quality of the picture/graphics. Not sure what cause folks now a days to venture from actually calling the game to talking about whatever, but it has gotten old.
CBS still does a great job with college basketball.
Still long for Joe "they call him Mule at Alabama, John", Dean and a little "string music".
They kept having camera trouble there for a bit and were using the behind the goal camera for a bit. Gave me a damn headache.
Now, that would suck. Granted I was sitting up 5 rows from the top, and the one Auburn fan in the building was sitting behind us. It was a terrible seat. We moved down and we only could find a seat in the corner right behind Wimp. It was better, but not a great seat. I am ready for Coleman to be redone.
Predicted Alabama to lose today. Now hes on the air making excuses for state as if playing one game makes them too tired to compete.
Also he completely missed diagnosed watch it happened on A131 zone about 10 minutes ago. Guy is useless and needs to be fired

Not a big Bradshaw fan really but give me Bradshaw over Dickie V or Jimmy Dykes any time. DV is a joke and doesn’t need to be calling games anymore and Dykes tends to get a little too dramatic for me a lot of the time.
Now Tom Hart on the other hand, is my dude. Guy does a good job and he’s pretty damn funny if you get his sense of humor
