Pasch and McElroy calling Illinois game on ABC
I usually just mute anyways but thought I’d share especially with the Dierdorf/Brandy thread earlier.
Who do you prefer: these guys or Levy/Griese who are doing the 3:30 FSU@Clemson game?

I think I'd rather have beers with Pasch over McIlroy.
October 8th, 2019 at 5:28 PM ^
Would love to see Tony Romo call a Michigan game
October 8th, 2019 at 5:34 PM ^
I’d love to watch a Michigan game in general on CBS.
October 8th, 2019 at 10:10 PM ^
That means a game in SEC country (or at home against an AFC opponent). No thanks. Not with this offense.
October 8th, 2019 at 6:10 PM ^
Tony: "Get a load of this formation Jim...Patterson in the pistol, I think we're going see a zone read here and I can see what Patterson is looking at with this 4 man front and the Mike filling this bubble here and he's..."
Jim Nantz: "TONY we GET IT but we already know he's going to hand it off for a 2 yard gain...you're boring the hell out of us today"

You hate rainbows and ice cream cones too don't you!
October 8th, 2019 at 5:30 PM ^
Don’t care who calls the game as long as I don’t have to see urban Meyer the whole game and postgame.
October 8th, 2019 at 5:36 PM ^
He is pretty good in ny opinion I like his analysis
October 8th, 2019 at 10:51 PM ^
October 9th, 2019 at 12:54 AM ^
He’s not a bad analyst at all. I just don’t like his face.
October 8th, 2019 at 5:36 PM ^
Honestly, as long as Joey Galloway isn't calling the game, I'm good. He is seriously THE.WORST.
October 8th, 2019 at 5:50 PM ^
Have you considered Matt Millen or Bugar McFarland for worst?
October 8th, 2019 at 6:03 PM ^
Can we add Troy Aikman, David Pollack, and Joe Buck to that list?
October 8th, 2019 at 10:19 PM ^
Joe Buck calling dumps in the men's bathroom at a Buffalo Wild Wings would be an insult to the experience of explosive diarrhea. That's how bad Joe Buck is, IMHO.
October 8th, 2019 at 6:14 PM ^
MNF is totally unwatchable. The second I heard McFarland, I need to find something else on.
October 8th, 2019 at 6:22 PM ^
As a Browns fan, MNF has been unwatchable, but it has nothing to do with McFarland....
October 8th, 2019 at 8:10 PM ^
This Monday Lions fans will have the same feeling.

I like booger from revenge of the nerds
October 8th, 2019 at 5:43 PM ^
I would love it if they just picked a guy, say from a message board like this one, where just about every media figure is too dumb for the posters here.
October 8th, 2019 at 5:54 PM ^
Griese. Glad not on Fox so no Meyer and don't have to hear "partner". Those guys that have done our games remind me of Rod and Mario
October 8th, 2019 at 6:08 PM ^
I see ya big fella.
October 8th, 2019 at 5:54 PM ^
Anybody but Sean McDonough.
Greg McElroy is actually sneaky good. I like him a lot. Great analysis.
I love Levi/Griese - obviously. I like Joel Klatt too - but is Gus Johnson human? What is with that guy? Seems like a robot at times.
October 8th, 2019 at 5:59 PM ^
McDonough is the best PBP guy in college football. Only argument is maybe Nessler.
Gus is a robot and he occasionally glitches when extreme excitement is triggered on a one yard run
October 8th, 2019 at 6:07 PM ^
That's why I always try to watch Gus if he's on, he's nothing special 90% of the time but those one yard runs or dramatic readings of commercials make it all worth it.
Basketball seems to bring out the best version of Gus though.
October 8th, 2019 at 6:08 PM ^
Not sure why - I just can't stand McDonough calling Michigan games.
October 8th, 2019 at 6:04 PM ^
Sean McDonough is awesome. I am sad he hasn't called a Michigan game since he came back to college from MNF.
October 8th, 2019 at 6:24 PM ^
I agree with you on McElroy. He's probably the most underrated color commentator among ESPN's 20-some college football crews.
In terms of the games they get, Pasch and McElroy seem to be ABC/ESPN's 4th Saturday crew. Fowler/Herbstreit 1, McDonough/Blackledge 2, Levy/Griese 3.
Pasch also calls the Arizona Cardinals games (lucky him!), so sometimes they have to move him around because of logistics.
October 8th, 2019 at 7:26 PM ^
Agree on McElroy. He's good on XM Radio as well. Klatt seems to have a thing for Michigan and Harbaugh...seems genuinely frustrated that they aren't better.
October 8th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
McElroy is absolutely horrible on xm radio.
best show on xm is mark parcker by far.
October 8th, 2019 at 6:28 PM ^
Those guys are ok.
October 8th, 2019 at 6:45 PM ^
Brandy and Dan d
October 8th, 2019 at 7:02 PM ^
TBH, I’m thankful that it’s not Klatt and Gus again. For all his hype, Gus gets a lot flat-out wrong (I don’t know how he got Cam ”McGrewn” out of McGrone) and Klatt is just plain annoying with “look, everyone’s covered on this coverage sack” as everyone is open.
The entire CFB on Fox experience sucks
October 8th, 2019 at 7:20 PM ^
Levy / Griese are pretty good.
To be honest, anyone but Pam Ward.
Not a big fan of Brock Huard either.
McDonaugh / Blackledge are my new favorites this season.
October 8th, 2019 at 7:20 PM ^
I hear McElroy on Sirius every morning and for the past several years he says we suck on offense because we have no talent at wide receiver.
I can't wait to listen to him bitch the entire game saturday
October 8th, 2019 at 8:26 PM ^
Bad take on McElroy. He has generally been positive on Harbaugh and Michigan this year and years past but fairly has been disappointed so far this year. He is definitely not a Harbaugh or Michigan hate pr like so many on SiriusXM84

Dave Pasch deserves an award every night that he sits down next to Bill Walton to call a game and doesn't choke him out within the first five minutes. On top of that he's a very good PBP guy. McElroy is also underrated on color.
I find Levy annoying and Griese is overly negative toward Michigan in a "See I'm not a homer" type of way.
October 8th, 2019 at 9:26 PM ^
I enjoy Mute Button and myself as color commentator.
October 8th, 2019 at 10:43 PM ^
McElroy has a long way to go
October 9th, 2019 at 7:43 AM ^
I just want to hear more ‘Spleen Talk’ with Bobby Carpenter
October 9th, 2019 at 12:53 PM ^
Griese or Ufer...
If it's not one of those two, I really don't give a damn!
In all seriousness, I usually turn off TV sound, and listen to the M radio show, since they call the plays and keep it real.
October 9th, 2019 at 3:55 PM ^
Really don't like Levy's announcing. Is that just me?
