We had both, JP and Raycom, at one time or another here in the mid-south.

They did crappy SEC games better than ESPN.

I guess because they were happy to have it, and happy to be there.  They at least injected some life into an 11:00 South Carolina vs Miss St. tilt.
Probably a sell-out in either stadium - Stark-vegas is tiny and Carolina has a rabid fanbase.

How long until we get an AI Keith Jackson calling games live?  I'd like an AI Franklin and Patrick night game, personally.  

Or an old Frank Broyles AI color commentary, always citing the "safety man."  lol

as long as we're imagining how about King Arthur and taunting French Knight from MPs Holy Grail. Along with Scotsman Tim the Enchanter (warned of the killer Rabbit) as a sideline analyst

Now I'm picturing Al Franken and Danica Patrick calling a college football game.  THAT would be interesting, as a car wreck is.  

Am I the only one who really REALLY misses Franklin and Gottfried night games?

You are not alone. This Vol is in lockstep on the topic.  They were gold together, especially calling the SEC.

I remember catching a few of the games and he(Franklin) was solid but he got shit canned after calling different female sideline reporters a couple of X some weird remarks. One of the games he called(for Houston Oilers radio) I do remember is the '79 Steelers/Oilers AFC CCG on NBC where Dick Enberg (a classic also)for the right to go to the Super Bowl. The Oilers got jobbed but there was no instant replay back then. But NFL Films rehashing that classic, chimed in with his Franklin's radio remarks
