[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 112530, member: 231"] I strongly disagree on Wes. I think he loved and still loves Tech and his heart was in it and he was a homer. It really becomes clear to me when I have heard him call football or bball games of Tech after he left. In these games he is pretty terrible. He is so incredibly dispassionate that I have to think he keeps intentionally over-compensating with having been at Tech for so long. They also avoid ever mentioning his past with Tech when he does our games. I really think that means he is paranoid about not coming across as objective. It makes his telecasts of Tech games just awful though since every announcer gets excited and passionate about a [I]great play [/I]they call! That doesn't determine their objectivity at all but their overall treatment of the two teams does that. His very flat calls of Tech now make me see just how much he was a homer and must still love the program if he thinks he has to hide it to such an extent. Brandon is growing into the football broadcasts as he gets accustomed to "big boy" football now. I was very amused at the extent to which he kept pointing out that he was standing in the radio booth during the Tech-UGA game because he couldn't contain his excitement over what he was watching. I was standing as well most of the game for similar reasons but have done so for years of watching Tech. Jones is a complete natural though. He has been a revelation. His knowledge of the offense is a big component of how well he has done from the start. However, even beyond that insider knowledge he has a really sharp mind and quick wit for handling live color analysis. I really hope Tech can keep him for years to come because he frankly may have a very lucrative future in sports broadcasting if he chooses to pursue it. [/QUOTE]
