Hawaii game team: Mike Patrick, Ed Cunningham, Dr. Jerry Punch
We are about the 20th most interesting game that weekend given how many strong non-conference matchups are taking place, but still a good crew IMO.

I'll be in the stadium. That said, I kind of miss the old dudes that used to sit behind my dad's seats. They were annoying, but also kinda funny. I've never heard somebody say "jesus christ" so many times. They would also say the same things every time I was the one to go to games with my dad. "Oh you brought the tall one this week."

Herbsrteet is still the A-team. Tessitore and Blackledge will be the B-team. I assumed this to be the C-team, but I don't think so now. This team may have got a slight demotion even with the turnover. The Citrus Bowl debacle likely did not help their cause. I suspect Davis and Palmer may be moving from Thursday night for some games.

August 12th, 2016 at 11:59 AM ^
that Palmer is with Brent on the SEC network now.
August 12th, 2016 at 12:13 PM ^
Jesse Palmer is a clown

Being the main play-by-play guy. He's a perfect fit for studio, tennis, other big sporting events. But the nitty of the gritty? Give me the bums from the BTN before him.
August 12th, 2016 at 1:16 PM ^
I must have forgotten; what was the Citrus Bowl debacle?
August 12th, 2016 at 1:41 PM ^
Probably mis-pronounced or confused player names 25-30 times, easily.
August 12th, 2016 at 4:23 PM ^
I always assumed he was heavily drinking during the game.
It made it more fun somehow.
August 12th, 2016 at 11:30 AM ^
August 12th, 2016 at 11:34 AM ^
I'd say Clemson vs. Auburn should be a pretty interesting game---Clemson wins, but will be worth watching.
August 12th, 2016 at 11:38 AM ^
A bunch actually Non-conference games are getting better.
LSU-Wisconsin, GT-BC, WVU-Mizzou, UCLA-aTm, UGA-UNC, Clemson-Auburn
Our non conference is pretty weak this year but going forward we have a lot of marquee games scheduled that should be exciting.
August 12th, 2016 at 11:41 AM ^
Also, Florida State and Ole Miss on Labor Day.
I hope Hugh Freeze goes 0-12 this year.
August 12th, 2016 at 11:46 AM ^
Totally agree.I find him to be infinitely more delusional than Saban.
August 12th, 2016 at 12:35 PM ^
Either. Couple of bleh coaches.
August 12th, 2016 at 11:37 AM ^
LSU vs Wisconsin
Oklahoma vs Houston
GT vs BC
Georgia vs USC
Clemson vs Auburn
Really, really good opening weekend of CFB!
August 12th, 2016 at 11:56 AM ^
I love that there is a great game both Sunday and Monday as well

Oklahoma vs Houston should be a great game. Sooner fans are terrified of the potential outcome of this game.
August 12th, 2016 at 1:34 PM ^
The Big 12 should automatically admit Houston if they beat OU.
August 12th, 2016 at 11:37 AM ^
I'm looking at UCLA @ Texas A&M, LSU @ Wisconsin, Clemson @ Auburn, and Notre Dame @ Texas as possibilities for good games. I don't care for any of those teams, but those could produce good games, probably some clunkers too.

I just might use this game to finally try to get the radio stream synced with the video feed. Would much rather listen to Brandstatter and Dierdorf than any of these guys.

can't believe it has been allowed to go on for this long. It would not be the greatest but at this point just shuffle Matt Shephard in there until you can find the long term solution because Brandy is not it. At least he can sound like a play by play guy even if he is not a particularly good one.
August 12th, 2016 at 12:39 PM ^
In terms of just purely covering a game? Blaha is equally awful in describing what is happening on the field. I was listening to the MSU vs Wisconsin game a few years back in the championship when Wisconsin converted that 40 yard bomb on 4th down or whatever it was to esssentially win the game. "Wilson drops back. Caught, first down." Swear to you, that's how he said it.
August 12th, 2016 at 11:35 AM ^
Mike Patrick. Ugh
August 12th, 2016 at 11:38 AM ^
Not the most exciting crew, but like you said we're not a marquee matchup in week 1. On the other hand, I'll take them over the likes of Beth Mowins any day of the week.
August 12th, 2016 at 11:38 AM ^
I read Hawaii and Cunnigham and automatically assumed someone was talking about the legendary waterman Mark Cunnigham.
Did Ed Cunningham call any Michigan games last year?
August 12th, 2016 at 11:41 AM ^
The Citrus Bowl.

She's horrible! She's as bad as Robin Roberts was, which is pretty bad... Please don't let Mowins call any UM games this year.
August 12th, 2016 at 11:45 AM ^
August 12th, 2016 at 12:09 PM ^
Patrick was never great, was always easily distracted, and never gave a shit. HAAAAAAAAAATE
August 12th, 2016 at 12:40 PM ^
Remember that TD pass that Rudock through in a tight window? The Florida defender basically just reached out to swipe. If he would have done ANYTHING, it would have been barely knocked down. Instead, Patrick says almost pick 6.
The game has definitely left him behind.
August 12th, 2016 at 12:52 PM ^
LOL!
My 9yr old son made fun of him saying that while we were watching the game and it's now an inside joke whenever we've watched DVR replay.
He also says two tackles later in the game "saved a touchdown" when both plays were near midfield and there was no chance either play would be a wide open score.
August 12th, 2016 at 1:44 PM ^
You know me from another message board that I left.
Hint: One of the members on that board rarely posted but would come out and angrily respond to me when I did.

mike patrick is pretty solid but ed cunningham comes off as a bit of a douche nozzle
August 12th, 2016 at 11:52 AM ^
Mike Patrick calls Drake Johnson "Dwayne Johnson" again?
August 12th, 2016 at 12:10 PM ^
Drake's nickname should totally be "The Rock" because of that call and because you can't kill him.
August 12th, 2016 at 11:51 AM ^
to get a cooler full of beer and ice and plant my ass in front of the TV from 9am to midnight that weekend.
Only get up to open the door and piss in the back yard like a man. I could miss a play if I walked to the bathroom.

I've got commercial breaks down to a T. One minute gets me to the bathroom, pee, and back to the seat for the next play. But with the kid, I'm happy to have DVR...
August 12th, 2016 at 11:57 AM ^
I miss Van Patrick...
