I try not to pile on because Bob is a really nice guy. And he inherited an impossible task. He is not John Ward, he was never going to be John Ward, but he was always going to be held to Ward's standards...and even after 24 years he still is.
But y'all... We have one of the nation's biggest fanbases, world-class facilities, a team that appears to be on its way back to prominence, and THIS is the best "voice" we have? Could he have been any less enthused on that kick? I don't want a guy that squalls and screams and you can't understand what he's saying on big plays. I constantly see those game-winning calls plastered on social media like they're something special and they make me cringe. But surely we can reach a balance between professionalism and enthusiasm. We just beat Alabama for the first time in 16 years, on the final play of the game, and that's all the excitement he could muster? Do we need to add a Vol Network staffer who can hit the button on an adrenaline drip every time Bob needs to inflect some enthusiasm into his calls?
