I think Joel Klatt is often right, at least with respect to college football.  For example, he's one of the only ones that points out all of the gaming of the system the SEC does and how it bolsters the SEC mythos amongst the mediots and fans.  Obviously this is a Fox agenda item but it's also correct and I applaud him for braving the SECSECSEC mediot dipshittery and standing firm in his convictions.

Joel Klatt thinks ESPN is wrong in that only the SEC is infallible.  When in fact the narrative should be that all helmets are infallible.  His slurping of UM and OSU makes Dick Vitale look like a Duke hater

I dub that Super Bowl the Wet Fart Bowl. Refs shouldn't end great games on grabass calls. That is my story and I'm sticking to it.

Best call in history. Also, it didn't end the game. It made the game even better. A+ reffing.

I don't recall him ever talking about UM or tOSU so I'll take your word for it.

I still think he's better than about 78% of sports mediots out there.  It's a low bar, to be sure.  YMMV.

He's better than the studio talking heads.  But among the booth guys, I think him and Gus are the worst.  I actually like the FOX B team a whole lot more. 

Gus Johnson has gone full Dick Vitale, Unused to really like him, until he became a caricature of himself.

I'm indifferent to his performance in the booth, but that's very subjective and personal so I get it when folks don't like a particular person.  I too used to like Gus Johnson better than I do lately.

As a studio analyst/talk show guy, I consider Klatt to be well above most of his peers.

agreed - Klatt is a good studio analysist ,him and Gus go over the top slurping participants however. Almost like they stopped at a tailgate on their way to the booth still singing fight songs

Maybe he slobs on UT as well so I don't notice?  I honestly don't recall him talking much about us, there's not much reason to when we've sucked for a decade and a half.

I notice you didn't use the phrase, "breaking of the rules."

Well he has expanded on the fabulous tail gate scene and the still vacant husk of their EE program since it's inception

Just dropped in to say that although he didn't play, CEH was activated off IR for the Chiefs in the Superbowl, extending our streak to 23 years of having a former player active in the SB, tied with UGA. 

The Eagles are the only NFL team with no Tigers. 

I said it in late October and I said it again to my wife before the game, although I did not know how the Chiefs would win 'cuz I thought Philly was the better team.....God will not let a team with no Tigers win a SB.
