Could Brent Musburger just go ahead and retire?
One of the worst things (I mean, besides losing) about the UT vs Cal game last night was that we were stuck with Brent Musburger calling the game.

I'm still not over the fact that a few years ago, he couldn't consistently mis-pronounce Casey Clausen's last name.

Then, last night we were stuck with him again. He may be the worst announcer in all of college football (OK, outside of Todd Blackledge). If I'd heard Brent tell us one more time he couldn't wait to talk to Les Miles next week about the PAC-10, I was going to get in my car, drive to Berkley, go up into the booth and go, "For the love of Pete, Brent! We get the point! You've made it six times already in this drive!"

Thinking back, I've had to endure Brent calling games since the 80's when he called NFL games for CBS. That's twenty plus years....

Time to put Brent out to pasture, I think!

I agree, Musberger was terrible. I'm an LSU alum, so his fixation on Les Miles was annoying as hell personally. Now we get him for Gameday this week- crap. At least we can heckle him on pregame...
I was pulling for the Vols in that game, it was a shame to see it turn that way. But it wasn't as bad as the media made it out to be- Cal basically played the game of their lives and you guys still had 31, and a shot to pull even late in the game. Not what I'd be bragging about.
I also have to wonder what VT thought of all that; remember LSU played on Thursday, were home Saturday night, and Miles was probably sitting on his couch watching the game. I'm guessing that probably made him come up with a few extra plays, being called out like that.
