Kesling is the dude who wont allow wind to catch the sail on the way to the Galapagos on Russel Crowes boat. Everybody on the boat could do their job but it doesnt matter if an albobtross is on board. Need Bob to take a symbolic cannonball and jump to retirement. Then and only then, will we get our wind.
The thing is, I kind of like Bob generally speaking. He's not really a good radio guy for football, but he comes off as a likeable enough fellow. I've not disliked his basketball games as much.
Bob is awful. Imo, he was doomed because he doesnt see the field or court well, doesnt anticipate, gets confused and messes up players names just about every game. Hes the jg of play by play and paints a horrible picture
Was listening to Memphis vs UT with my dad years ago on the road. Had no idea of the score for several possessions and 2 players who had been out of the program for years, somehow scored. He wasnt a UT fan but the man new sports and listened to Jack Eaton his whole life. He couldnt believe how bad it was. No idea who was winning, which way they were going, who was in or what the score was for too long, too often.
Bob is Bob at this point and it’s basically his job until he doesn’t want it anymore. He is neither memorable or forgettable. We could do worse, we could do better. Ultimately, he saved us from Mike Keith and really that’s the most important thing.
Wow, Jack Eaton. That’s a blast from the past. I remember listening to his basketball calls in the 70’s at my grandfather’s. He was a Memphis St fan. Thanks for the memory
Eaton was awesome. I grew up there listening to Eaton, with my nerf goal up on my bed acting like i was Otis Jackson
Y’all have seen our last 3 head football coaches. We could get rid of the Bob, but his replacement will suck just as bad.
