Michigan @ Purdue Game Announcers on Fox: Joe Davis & Brady Quinn
Courtesy of Awful Announcing: http://awfulannouncing.com/schedules/2017-week-4-college-football-announcing-schedule.html
4 PM- Michigan at Purdue (FOX): Joe Davis, Brady Quinn, Bruce Feldman
Davis and Quinn are young guys, but they seem to be fairly competent. Davis seems to do a good job in announcing baseball. He did announce Army @ Ohio State last week and did a fairly good job in my view.
Look, I'm just saying that I don't think the Michigan football game announcting can be as bad as the announcing duos over the last three weekends, namely:
vs Florida - Tessitore+Blackledge
vs Cincy - Bob Wischusen+Brock Huard
vs Air Force - Kevin Kugler+ Matt Millen
So let's try to enjoy this. Or shut the volume off altogether, as I often do.
For what it's worth, it's Ohio State fans' turn to enjoy Matt Millen's kernels of wisdom this week vs. UNLV.

I've come around on Millen. If you think of him like your goofy druncle and try not to take him too seriously, he's not bad. He offsets the stupid shit he says with usually solid play diagnosis, especially defensively. Blackledge and Tessitore are pretty unremarkable either way.
Brock Huard is a giant douche-canoe though. Can't stand him, Danny Kinnel, and Joey Galloway.

More like my ex-uncle by marriage that lost his license and everyone barely tolerated until he stopped coming to our holiday gatherings.
September 23rd, 2017 at 12:31 AM ^
I thought they were okay. Then again, I had multiple games going on at the same time, so I wasn't too clued in to the audio.
I think Huard is okay. He really liked the Big House, so I'm willing to give him some love.
September 23rd, 2017 at 5:54 AM ^
...used to be decent, but was very bad in the Florida game. He missed a lot of obvious things on the girld before going on and on about "big boy pants."
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:12 AM ^
Wait! You had multiple games on at the same time Michigan was on? Da hell, man??!!??
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:37 AM ^
damn that team was fast
September 23rd, 2017 at 12:38 AM ^
He spoke highly of the defense and said that Purdue needs to play a near perfect game.

He is the most annoying announcer in the history of football.
September 23rd, 2017 at 5:13 AM ^
Uhh, I think he has been, and they were quick to give him back.
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:31 AM ^
are getting picky now.
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:51 AM ^
to the couch while I was watching the game. I could tell she was trying to nap, so I muted the TV for the entire second quarter. It was amazing to me how much better the experience was as opposed to with the sound on. I understand that it's a common joke, but holy hell, I felt liberated finally realizing I truly never have to listen to Matt Millen ever again.
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:54 AM ^
WCF and the Lions franchise for his tenure with them. Clown.
September 23rd, 2017 at 2:47 PM ^
Pam ward would like a word with you...
September 23rd, 2017 at 12:41 AM ^
Not sure why OP thinks they are bad.
September 23rd, 2017 at 12:42 AM ^
I believe they are one of the best crews for CFB
September 23rd, 2017 at 12:57 AM ^
I really like Blackledge but cannot stand Tess.
September 23rd, 2017 at 2:30 AM ^
Texas is back folks
That's why
September 23rd, 2017 at 12:44 AM ^
Millen might be a worse announcer than GM.
September 23rd, 2017 at 12:55 AM ^
He basically killed an entire region's passion for pro football.
EDIT: And the idiot didn't trade Barry's rights to Miami when we could've received some draft picks to rebuild the organization.
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:40 AM ^
I would have to disagree only because however terrible Matt Millen may be at other things, it is not possible - in my opinion - for him to be worse at any of those than he was in the front office of the Detroit Lions. If there was ever doubt that the Fords were enabling mediocrity, it was erased - as the behavior was confirmed - the day Millen was hired.
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:59 AM ^
or the day his contract was extended
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:26 AM ^
The first contract extension was total bullshit. Face it, every Lions fan in existance thought hiring Millen was a slam dunk move. Every single one of you bastards thought that! And if you say you didn't, you're lying through your teeth. Lions nation was so happy to get rid of Chuck Schmidt, we would have taken one of the anonymous CBS game producers with open arms.
September 23rd, 2017 at 12:46 AM ^
I prefer to do my own play by play and color. Same with sideline reporting
September 23rd, 2017 at 12:49 AM ^
Musberger was severely overrated
September 23rd, 2017 at 12:56 AM ^
or a fan of FUMMMMMBBLLLLLLLL.
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:58 AM ^
Brent was spot on. I would soooo kiss that girl right on the mouth!!!!
September 23rd, 2017 at 1:04 AM ^
John Gruden in the booth and I'll be a happy camper.
September 23rd, 2017 at 1:51 AM ^
As I continue to get older, I suddenly realize there's a generation of football fans that doesn't remember the awesomeness that is Keith Jackson.
September 23rd, 2017 at 2:06 AM ^
They did get to hear Uncle Verne and Brent Musberger
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:04 AM ^
Always enjoyed Verne. One of the best ever imo. Hate that he is no longer in the booth. Verne and Keith are two icons that will never be replaced.
September 23rd, 2017 at 2:04 AM ^
im pretty tolerant of announcers, they dont get me worked up. however, Brock Huard is god awful. id rather listen to Pam Ward than him.
September 23rd, 2017 at 2:53 AM ^
Hell no.
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:29 AM ^
No. Please put the knife down and step away from the butcher block. Pam Ward is the worst announcer I think I've ever heard!
September 23rd, 2017 at 2:49 PM ^
cut your tongue off
September 23rd, 2017 at 3:02 AM ^
I think Joe Tess is one of the best in the business.
September 23rd, 2017 at 3:03 AM ^
He comes from Potterville Michigan. The home of Gizzard city restaurant.
September 23rd, 2017 at 3:40 AM ^
I'd like to kidnap Matt Millens's kid and hold him or her for ransom because his "particular set of skills" sucks
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:30 AM ^
You're gonna kidnap Chewy?
September 23rd, 2017 at 3:42 AM ^
Go blue
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:18 AM ^
I didn't mind either of the three previous broadcast teams. Huard's robotic monotone voice gets annoying though. I don't mind what he says, but just how he says it. I always liked Millen as an analyst when he was doing NFL games many years ago. He is now tainted to many because of the ineptness he brought to the Lions as a GM. I can tolerate him though. Blackledge has always seemed like a bit of a tool, but I can tolerate him.
Is Rod Gilmore still doing games? He was hands down the worst.
September 23rd, 2017 at 6:51 AM ^
Rod Gilmore Is Still "Doing Games"
According to the Awful Announcing list of announcing teams for games on September 23, the UCLA-Stanford game on ESPN at 10:30 will have Mark Jones, Rod Gilmore and former Johns Hopkins lacrosse All-American goalie Quint Kessenich as the announcers.
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:21 AM ^
Well, that's pretty shitty. What else would you expect from FOX.
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:28 AM ^
I miss Keith Jackson.https://youtu.be/WQicippGDJQ
September 23rd, 2017 at 7:57 AM ^
Tessitore and Blacklegde are terrible. Brock Huard is a douche. Matt Millen is thoroughly entertaining.
Mark it zero, next frame.
September 23rd, 2017 at 8:24 AM ^
I wonder if Brady Quinn will take the time to compare this Michigan defense to the one that one that he so fondly remembers when he took a beating in South Bend!!! There were some great pictures from that day, especially with Brady picking grass out of his helmet!! That was "heavenly"!! GO BLUE!!
