Title: Verne is headed out....... Post by: droner on April 27, 2016, 05:07:31 EDT http://www.nola.com/lsu/index.ssf/2016/04/verne_lundquist_to_be_replaced.html (http://www.nola.com/lsu/index.ssf/2016/04/verne_lundquist_to_be_replaced.html)
Other reports make it sound like this is Verne's last year. Title: It's past time...he's blind as a bat. Post by: VOLMAN on April 27, 2016, 05:28:34 EDT :patriot:

Title: Re: Verne is headed out....... Post by: 73Volgrad on April 27, 2016, 08:57:05 EDT Verne is past his prime. Although sad to see him go if he is gone, every broadcaster either has to go out on his own or be replaced. I hope he has one more year at least to make the "Koby farewell" goodbye tour. For the past couple of years, I thought he reported a game in one tired cliche after another.

For the past couple of years, I thought he reported a game in one tired cliche after another. The way I understand it he will have this last college football season then be done. I've enjoyed him over the years but it's time for him to step down. IMO, football is just too fast pace for him to keep up at his age. He makes a lot of mistakes. I'm sure the network knows this and one reason they are bringing Nessler in. He'll continue doing the Masters as long as he's able to sit upright. Title: Re: Verne is headed out.......

Title: Re: Verne is headed out....... Post by: murfvol on April 28, 2016, 04:20:37 EDT I like Verne, but he should have retired years ago. That having been said, it's good he gets a victory lap.

Title: Re: Verne is headed out....... Post by: LouisVOL on April 28, 2016, 11:23:18 EDT It is time. But, along with "Do you believe in miracles", his "In your life" call will be one of the iconic calls in broadcast history, so he has that going for him.
