Verne....Verne....All Things Verne

Since Verne seems to think that the Tennessee Waltz is our Alma Mater....feel free to throw out other Verneisms.


Like our new kicker....Alvin Medley

 

"Oh Wow!!!"











2 yard run off tackle.

 

Tim Tebow.

Verne: "NO - FLAG - ON - THE - FIELD....TOUCHDOWN!!"

Gary: "yeah, there is...there's a flag on the field down at the 40 yard line...it's coming back"

Verne: "Ah, yes, you are correct"

 

Incomplete pass... (Danielson : I believe that was intercepted) really.........I believe your right.

 

He makes a lot of errors but I absolutely can not stand Danielson.

 

I think Verne gets told kindly that he is done after this year. He can't even see what's going on anymore.

 

Very likely. Him and Corso need to call it.

 

My personal favorite: Jalen Meeves-Raybin

 

This.

 

I love Verne. It's like watching football with an 80 year old man. After 15 years, I've learned to tolerate it.

 

2004 TN-Florida Game

Gary: Tennessee is going to get an Unsportmanlike for being on the field.

Verne: Yes they are!

 

Was Danielson the one making all the excuses for Butch yesterday?

 

Verne has an old man grunt he breaks out 3 or 4 times a game that cracks me up. I'm thinking he falls asleep

 

Not at all. He said Tennessee was way conservative in the losses. I took that as jab at the coaching and its play calling.

 

It does not matter what Verne ever did beyond the Duke-Kentucky game. He was part of a lore that ranks up there with Al Michaels call in 1980 or Don Criqui in the 83 Orange Bowl that has defined their career by a single game.

"There's the pass to Laettner...puts it up. YES!!! "

 

His insatiable need to fellate Saban and Bama over the years has been tiring.

 

His errors are increasing. He's a legend, though.

 

who replaces him?

 

You have to admit, listening to a game he calls and listening for gaffs is fun. Plus you get to sit around and use your best Verne voice.
