Chris Fowler is leaving Gameday
- Thread starter Jens1893
- Start date
Klatt has had an amazing rise to national media prominence. In roughly 8 years, he went from CO high school football sideline reporter to one of Fox's top college football analysts and he even does NFL in-game updates. Best part is his Wikipedia picture, though... :lol:

We can. We'll be disappointed, though.

...at which he sucks ass.
:wtf: Mooseboogers is about 80 years old, he doesn't connect with the younger generation. Oh, you're saying Fowler's trying to suck more than 'boogers. Now I get it.

you must have an eaten a **** sandwich for dinner last night. Hope you feel better today.
Musbuerger, Corso, and that spitting, slobbering fool, Holtz, all need to go away.

Commenting is a tough job and almost no one is good at it. Fowler is decidedly on the disappointing side. He is supposed to be the PxP guy, but says a lot of stupid stuff that didn't actually happen. Obvious stuff. His forté is sitting comfortably in a studio, playing reasonable guy to Corso's wild man.
As much as I like Fowler I tend to agree with you. He isn't bad at PxP but he also isn't anything special at it. Doesn't bring a lot of insight or color to the action. On the other hand he is very good at studio analysis, very good at providing a rational voice that doesn't go overboard to the positive or the negative.
At the same time when Gameday started it was about the game, about the days action, about setting up and promoting a big day of college football. Over the years it has become more and more about trying to be clever, promoting the show itself and those things that ESPN wants to emphasize (SEC,SEC,SEC,SEC, Longhorns, SEC, SEC,SEC) The further the show gets from sports journalism and into trying to be its own form of entertainment the less well he is suited for his role in it.

completely agree....unfortunately, not sure their replacements would be worth a **** either....
Musbuerger has a big name, Corso makes a living of playing the fool, and Holtz gets more attention for being hated than most guys ever get for being good.
All three will be around (and well paid for it) as long as the programming department thinks they bring more viewers than their replacements would.
Is it possible that Fowler is just tired of spending 80% of his gameday time talking about the $EC.

don't understand, you mean because he supported women's sports at the end? he hates treehuggers? don't get the love based on this.
He's a college football fan. He called out a bunch of degenerates who were trying to slow the progress of the sport he loves. And hey, Three for One is a pretty good deal if you're a tree hugger!
Mostly, I just don't ever remember a play-by-play guy getting that animated on the air over something that had nothing whatsoever to do with the game on the field. That, plus he's totally right.
It must be you. I didn't think it was all that great either.
