Title: Some folks on TOS are saying
Post by: Black Diamond Vol on January 06, 2025, 04:52:50 EST
That Mike Keith as new VOTV is a done deal. How would we feel about this? I personally like him, though I think he sometimes overdoes it a bit.

I haven't seen that
Lot of speculation
Mike has stayed involved with VOL athletics so it's not like he has been a stranger

I'd support that pick
I think he would bring some excitement back to broadcasts and his is damn good at it

However, if that happens, for the first time in a long time I bet we would have seperate FB and BB announcers

Him being from Franklin and living in that area now I'd be shocked if he moved....Unless he's sick of the Titan cluster like most fans are.

I've said it before....I listen to as much or more Titans radio than most. I'm just not a fan of his broadcasts or style.

Agree about hoops. I wonder how much it would take to pry jimmy Dykes away from SECN?

I like Mike, but he starts at 11. When something exciting happens there's no further level to reach.

Better to establish a low baseline and crescendo as needed.

Should definitely inquire with him as a color guy whenever Bert retires.

I like the selection.  Keep it in the Vol family that understands and appreciates the role, fan passion, and history of the program.

100%.  I think he could be the commentator, but probably best as a color guy.  Would be fantastic in fact.

I could go with that
I will hate it when Bert retires, he is an institution and love hearing his knowledge and quirks :thumbup:
