Saturday’s game will be broadcast on ESPN. Mike Patrick and Tommy Tuberville will have the call.
Between Patrick wondering what Brittney Spears is doing with her life and the potential for Tubs to give Kirby coaching advice on how to succeed in the SEC, this has all the earmarks of an instant classic.
Tuberville has some Spurrier-like moments. It does like a must record on the DVR.

He’s like Spurrier, but without all the wit and accomplishments.

I can’t believe I’m about to type this, but I’d prefer Mowins to Mike Patrick. The guy is clueless.

Worth listening to, at least until we learn if it’s worth listening to.

The turtle and Tubbs working together. Well Tubbs won’t be getting any help in meaningful dialogue but on the flip side, he will have the most x’s and o’s knowledge.

As long as they don’t talk nonstop like most guys do it’s alright with me. The droning on and on drives me crazy.

Last time Patrick talked about Britney Todd Blackledge let him hang in silence for a while.

Agree. There’s analysis, and there’s blabbermouths. Most announcers tend toward the latter.

I’m sure I’m in the minority on this, but I never understood the grief Patrick gets on this call. I thought it was a pretty rhetorical question asking about Britney to make the point about how exciting the game was. I get it, there were better ways to make the point, but I think too many people take the comment literally and I’m guessing that he didn’t genuinely wonder what Britney was doing.

Exactly this. He was purposely making an absurd comment in the middle of overtime in a tense game to add some levity, but it went straight over Blackledge’s head and fell flat.

You got the “fell flat” part right. It was an historic low in the world of sports commentary. A complete boner. He would have gotten a better reaction by saying “Hey Todd, guess how many abortions happen every day.” An absolute dud. He should have been fined.

I cringe every time Patrick or Uncle Verne called a game. Just wish there wasn’t a delay between radio and TV.

Tubs will definitely tell Kirby, “You need to run the ball to make it in this league.”
