I was definitely watching as a fan, while he was watching from the perspective of an ex-NFL QB. Just a very different outlook than what I had while watching that game. What were some notable things Jeff Blake was saying? I hope this wasn't in 2012 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this wasn't in 2012 lol I think it was the 2011 Clemson game if I recall correctly. He was predicting both teams plays largely based on formations. Kept mentioning how Clemson was daring us to throw it 10 yards over the middle and how we weren't even attempting to take advantage of it. I think he also said something about receivers not being physical enough at the line that day to get off of coverage, but hard to remember since it was 8 years ago now. It was really cool to sit with him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abw0004 10,125 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I just want an Auburn grad to be the next announcer. Outside of that I trust whoever they hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought she was just an overdubbed voice they put on ESPNU and ESPN2 to get everyone to switch to the game on ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK. Can you loosely tell us where you’re getting this from? After all, the rules of the site are if you can’t post a link at least give a bibliography of the connection involved with the info.

Win4AU 4,054 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Andy Burcham seems like a logical choice since he’s been doing other sports at Auburn for awhile. Paul Ellen has a great radio voice but I’m not familiar with any play by play he’s done before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's between the 2 I prefer Paul for football TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep! And that brings me to my other thought. I like Andy better on TV then on radio. Loved watching the old CSS games with him and Cole Cubelic on the call in the early 2000s.
