Fran to ESPN

[blueag09]

He will be a color analyst for ESPN Radio this season. He signed a 16-game contract. His first will be the Bama vs. Clemson game on August 30th.

Who are they going to pair him with? Ben Stein???

 

[TexasStarHorn]

Wow, that's gonna be horrible.

 

[ProdigalHorn]

I'd say that's playing fast and loose with the word "color."

 

[LocoGringos]

Wow, radio is really the perfect medium for his nasal whine!

The Bama folks are going to love his working their game.

 

[hornpharmd]

Wow, HC Alabama, then HC A&M, now ESPN radio.

This is quite sucktastic!!! Lucky for me I never listen to ESPN Radio for anything, ever. I wonder if his smacking Little Debbie snackcakes will come through on the radio.

I never thought I would type this but I would rather hear that guy, Pam Ward, over his voice anyday.

 

[ophorn23]

Lateral move.

 

[TexasGolf]

 

[Beau Vine]

I could deal with his voice.

But he is the most boring football coach I've ever heard. His press conferences were absolute snoozers. He would say nothing interesting, and never seemed to understand what the press wanted him to talk about.

This is horrible, this idea.

 

[Lat22]

If that game is in Tuscaloosa, we might not have to worry about him doing a second game.

 

[non_sequitur]

At first I thought you were going to say that they were pairing him up with Bob Davie. I was searching for something to gouge out both my eyes.

 

[BornOrange]

Whew!

I was worried that he was going to be on the Game Day road or studio crew. That would really mess up my Saturdays this fall. Since I never listen to ESPN radio this is like a Little Debbie being ripped open in the forest.

 

[J.R.69]

I'd rather take a beating with a piss-elm club than listen to him whine.

 

[HousHorn09]

This has to be one of the more baffling decisions ever made. I mean... why?

 

[TexasTower]

His contract must include snack cakes.

 

[Horn69]

Team him with Dave South. He can wheez during the 40 second no-sound segments.

Hook'em!!!

 

[Bayou BengalHorn]

Here's my question. What would his voice sound like if he inhaled helium? I guess only dogs could hear it.

 

[cochamps]

Nasal whine is an apt description.
