New announcer update...

It's late, I'm PO'ed at work and I wasn't sure a thread devoted to the soon to be ex Southern PBP guy would generate much heat, even if he had been a candidate (how serious, IDK, but dear lord I hope not very serious) to succeed Wes.

Let's just say it's also a good reminder that we have a good one in the booth now.

Roddy is very good with the commentary. That's the strength of the broadcast and I'll just leave it at that.
 
Course, this only applies to away games because it has been many years since I could hear our games inside GF.

Sadly.

Maybe I'm misreading the tone of this but Brandon is absolutely outstanding in my opinion

I listen to almost all the SEC and ACC teams announcers on and off each season - certainly the majority over a few seasons - and comparatively - none of our peers are even close in radio broadcasting

Wes is better when he got excited - he seemed to take it more personally - but Brandon will eventually also. I think Brandon already is better at simple play by play

Joe Ham was our best color guy with information & analysis but his delivery was nothing short of a train wreck. Roddy has the polish but doesn't explain as well. I bet he will be excellent with a little time. Needs to get more comfortable.
 
Roddy will get better. As someone who does PBP and Color myself I think Brandon is great, just cant stand the whining tone in his voice sometimes.

Brandon isn't a football guy.
 
Was re-watching the Kick and Pick game.

At the end, after the pick, really sure that one can hear Brandon in the next booth over. Somewhat difficult to pick out as the TV guy is talking over, but it can be heard.

Good stuff!
