NCAA Football 2016 Week #7

Dartmouth blocks a FG as time expired, and hangs on for a 20-17 win. Woot!!
Thank you Bama. Florida is now #1 in the SEC East.
Smooth sailing for the Vols from here on out. It's going to be hard for Florida to hang on.
I sure like listening to Danielson and Lundquist on the CBS SEC game of the week.
Nice win by the Cougs.
I jumped on the Wisconsin bandwagon. Bummer they lost, but what a fun game to watch.

I was going to like your post, Mike, as I agree with just about everything in it--but then you mentioned Verne and Gary. Personally, I'm looking forward to Verne's retirement--the man can't see a thing on the field! Between that and Gary's eagerness to insert some observation, I've lost count of how many penalties and controversial calls they've talked over/ignored until the ref got on the mic.

I didn't actually see OSU/Wisconsin, but it looked like a heck of a game. That and a few other matchups caused me to record College Gameday Final, I'm looking forward to watching that later.

Notre Dame is now 2-5. I bet they'll still be ranked in the preseason next year.

That's fair and accurate.
For me, I like listening to them go back and forth telling stories.
I've gotten good at tracking the technical aspects of the game, so I don't typically rely on the announcers to tell me those things. I don't mean to imply you do, but having a couple guys being spot on with that kind of analysis isn't a big deal to me.
It just feels to me like we're listening in on a couple guys watching the game together. I like that. But I get it that others may find it annoying/distracting.
