Just sitting there listening to Pat Hayden call the game really irks me. When we are on offense and someone on USC or BC makes a good tackle it is always โ€œSaves 10 yards with that tackleโ€ or some other comment that would come from the perspective of the opposing team.

ย 

Mark May is a trip, but I donโ€™t mind because he is sitting next to Lou who balances him out.

ย 

My list of least favorite announcers is:

ย 

1. Pat Hayden:llama:

2. Mark May

3. Brent Musburger (always calling players youngsters)

4. I know Bob Davie annoys a lot of people.

ย 

Who am I missing?

1. Tom Hammond (way worse then Pat Haden because half the time, Hammond does not make any sense and always down plays ND. I dont think Haden is even that bad at all)

2.Keith Jackson (made the right decision getting out of it)

3.Bob Greise (needs to give it up)

4.Desmond Howard

5.Lee Corso

I'm not saying we should have total homers for announcers but we should have people that know our roster (Hammond especially either calls people the wrong name or you can tell he's searching for the name). Also, Hammond is inchoherent half the time. I think during the MSU game I counted 5 mistakes by hammond during just one of our possesions.

Blasphemy...

1. Pat Hayden/Tom Hammond

2. Don Crique/Allen Pinkett (partially because I think Tony Roberts should be doing the radio)

3. Matt Millen was horrible for the Michigan game (calling Tate Forcier "Joe Montana")

4. Brent Musburger (most pro-Ohio St. commentator I have ever heard)

5. Phil Simms

6. Billy Packer (not football but it was painful to listen to him during the NCAA tournament)

ย 

It sucks that ND has 2 bad combinations for announcing their games between the tv & radio crews, especially when there are people like Tony Roberts out there that are much better & want to be announcing the ND games.

Blasphemy...

i speak the truth haha. sorry rocket but that guy annoys the heck out of me.

Musberger...HORRIBLE

ย 

The worst NFL guys are Phil Simms and Boomer Esiason... Simms is a total d-bag.

+1 on Hammond is worse than Hayden. Hammond makes ND games almost unbearable to listen to. Not sure how a guy can openly root for an opposing team like he does and still collect his paycheck.

Dude, that guy IS college football... :)

Although, like Madden and Summerall...and Bob Cole and Harry Neale up here for Hockey Night in Canada...sometimes the games passes us by...sadly.

FWIW, I've always appreciated their non-homerism...

Tom Hammond! Hands down the worst

maybe they just need to loosen up his facelift a little...

WORST

1. John Saunders (Due to his racism)

2. Brent Musberger (Because he BLATANTLY picks favorites)

3. Petros Papadakis (USC Grad with worst voice ever)

4. Verne Lundquist (Is this guy mentally competent?)

5. Bill Curry (He unreasonably invokes God)

6. Bob Davie (Obvious)

7. Chris Spielman (Too many steroids & estrogen?)

ย 

BEST

1. Kirk Herbstreit (Most objective & knowledgeable)

2. Chris Fowler (Good tone & interesting)

3. Lou Holtz (Can you hate the guy?)

4. Lee Corso (Keeps things lively)

5. Keith Jackson (Though crotchety & a PAC-10 Homer, Greatest Voice ever)

6. Jesse Palmer (The guy is a bit too "surfer dude" but knowledgeable)

7. Pat Hayden (The guy is intelligent and objective. I like him.)

I'll say it. I want HOMERS. Man I loved when Tony Roberts would basically come out of his seat when ND had a sack or TD and INT.

I agree. Every other team has homer announcers, especially if Musberger is calling our game. He calls AGAINST us. Why can't we do it?
