I had to listen to the first 5 minutes of game time on XM on my drive home. XM always uses the home team's radio crew. A&M's duo was terrible. The play-by-play was completely half-assed. Spent the whole time discussing certain players, win and losses, and the crowd. Made no effort to help the listener visualize the movement of the ball. Between Cristil, Ellis, and Price, I didn't realize how good we have it.

I’m a big fan of Neil. I actually miss him on the baseball broadcast (though Jim is good too).

He called baseball for Kentucky. When Jim decides to hang it up for good, Neil will do an awesome job in baseball for us too.

It’s the voice. I’m a jack guy and i have a hard time with anyone not jack. Or kim for that matter. I’m sure he will grow on me. But he does a great job making me visualize what is happening. I guess until he tells someone, while the mic is on, to get him a GD hotdog, the jury will be out

Can’t please everybody I guess. I think Price is an absolute pro at his trade. Jim is a pro at baseball.

I think he does an outstanding job of calling the game but there was something about his voice I couldn't place, until last night. Sometimes he sounds like Jim Hawthorn. Not the homerism, but the way he says some words. I'm sure as Hawthorn fades from memory Neil will grow on me.

For once we have a play by play guy who actually sounds professional and not a good ol boy brought up through the ranks. Jack was awesome, but Jack was the last of a dying breed of announcer. I guess people miss the negativity of Jack as long time Bulldog faithful. But Neil is the future. Unless he was banging the chick too.

He could add some comments like "gesticulating". He's great play by play. Add a little style.

He got a pretty solid style of his own already. I NEVER listen to TV announcers anymore. I sync up the TuneIn radio app with the TV broadcast and listen to Richard and Neil.

Try it, it will change your life. Last night my wife even reminded me to set up the TuneIn app for the game. We watched/listened that way all football season too. I'm telling you, that guy is one of the best in his business.

Neil is great at his craft, but doesn't have the character Jack had. But who did? We are spoiled.
