    If ESPN has A, B, C (etc) teams, i kept telling everyone in the house that this was the L team.

    And it isnt just announcers. The lack of replays was stunning. And to show highlights of '97 and not Include the last drive was just insane.

    Beth Mowins would have been an upgrade.

    ugh....she was what they had in mind when they invented the mute button!..She's knowledgeable but her voice is like nails on a chalkboard, or a bag of cats against a wall..take your pick.

    No one south of I-4 cared much about this game. No reason for ESPN to spend much money

    I would not call them completely homer, but there were uninterested in the game much of the time, and uninteresting when they paid attention to the game.

    Yep the two announcers tonight were the pits. I mean they were awful with the usual cliche's and game a game perspective that showed a complete lack of awareness of the Gators, their history, their legacy, and most of all one that would relate to the Gator Nation fan base. Just drive by announcers who only have notes prepared by some staffer to get them along in the game. I'm listing to the replay here and they ARE god awful. As a listener to Sean Kelly and Shane Matthews I want to add Sean Kelly is no catch. Shane Matthews makes it bearable as he is really knowlegable and has good insight as a player and a Gator. Kelly is the pits. But hey, it who we have and even then they are better than the national guys.
