I personally like Gruden.  He's enthusiastic, he's positive, and I think he makes interesting comments and insights.  And, even when he says something negative about a guy he seems to do so in a productive/encouraging way.  He never seems to bash anyone.  So, either way he will have some good things to say about Michigan I think.

Strength equipment is expensive and guarantees you nothing.  A strong will is free and can give you everything you want.

I was hoping for Brad Nessler. On such a busy day, however, we could have done a lot worse. I agree Tirico doesn't have the voice for it. Gruden is annoying, but sometimes his over the top analysis is hilarious. This game is basically going to be a Gruden droolfest about Lewan, Clowney & Denard.

Gruden is good friends with Coach Spurrier, and has visited our practices several times in the past. He also has a home in the Tampa area.  I know that doesn't really matter much, but I'm sure he's happy to be able drive to the ballpark and sleep in his own bed.

Love Gruden's passion and Tirico's sensibility.

On TV, Gruden is not funny and adds little insight into the game.  I don't need nor care what a color guy's opinion on anything is (including gun control).  I'd like you to explain why something worked or didn't work and suggest things I should look out for.  He is relatively poor at that within a group of people who are very disappointing.

I'd dump this group for another random pull from the bag of announcing teams.

 A great team of announcers that don't dumb it down and call it like it is. Tirico may make a Zingerman's reference but that doesn't make him a bad guy. Can't wait to see if Borges learned anything and becomes more "creative".
