Imagine each name being said by Uncle Verne, will ya?
One of the ways I know it’s finally time for SEC football in the fall is Verne Lundquist’s soothing voice. You may not like him, and that’s fine. He sometimes doesn’t get the teams he’s covering right 25 percent of the time, everyone’s name exactly correct and he sometimes, I think, forgets he’s calling a game.
But when I hear his voice, I know its time for the SEC on CBS Game of the Week, dadgummit.
Can you really tell me, though, you’re not going to miss moments like this when he’s gone?
