GAAubie 517 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Since we are firing everyone, can we get a new radio announcer? Andy is a good guy, but leaves a lot to desire when calling football games. Can we get someone more accurate and dynamic? We need Jim Fyffe 2.0 for our new coaching staff! 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His calling of the games are as comical as the games themselves Edited September 25, 2022 by jluvah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autiger88 3,874 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Is he still bad? I haven't listened since like the 4th game of his 1st year. Was hoping he would grow into it like Rod did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue with that is that any new "voice" will have next to no play-by-play experience for football. And as with any sport for broadcasting, you need reps to get better. I have called more football games than pretty much anyone at the Network and that's a really bad thing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au302 2,669 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Needs to happen badly. Andy is as great of a guy as it gets, and he was thrust into an unimaginable situation. Immense respect for him. However, he is simply not good at his job. I was told he referred to Missouri as "Stanford" pretty much the whole game. That's extremely embarrassing, and happens often. If we're going for a fresh start, lets' make the switch now. Andy can still call Basketball and Baseball. He's probably overworked anyways.

Voice quality aside, his recurring mistakes on the names of players, teams and team records is embarrassing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle-1 3,821 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I thought Larry Munson was the worst play by play guy in the history of the sport until Andy took over at Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps there’s far fewer players to keep up with and he’s much closer to the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jptiger 485 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 What a relief. Thought I was in the minority w Andy. He’s a great man but very boring. Haven’t listen to anything but pregame since Rod and even he had to grow on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passthebiscuits 7,021 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I almost give him a pass in football. If you’ve ever been up there where they are calling the games…it’s a terrible viewpoint. It’s almost impossible. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlueWDE 1,136 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I wonder how Cole Cubelic would do? Seems like more of an analyst. Has he called a smaller game for ESPN yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meh130 1,057 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Andy is technically proficient. No, he does not have the charisma or the passion of Jim Fyffe or Rob Bramblett. But you are going to find few who who combine the two. Andy calls a good game. Granted he is literally calling it off of a TV screen because the idiots at AU decided to push the radio announcers into the traditional press box.

And Rob got to call the games from a 50 yard line press box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
