I haven't seen him since the Florida game, and he didn't look good then. His eating habits are poor.

On second thought, in fairness none of us looked good at the Florida game.

He is looking rather rough, hopefully everything is alright. In the unfortunate event that Bob has to step away due to health issues, I wonder if we'd be able to pull Mike Keith back to Knoxville.

Ever notice that Keith sounds like the Bullwinkle narrator on a half case of Red Bull?

Although there are folks out there that have "easier to listen to voices", I think Keith's diction and work that he puts in before the games really separates him from most announcers.
Also speaking of health issues, Bobby Denton has been sounding pretty rough on the P.A. at Neyland.

Nobody out-preps Keith for sure. He's a pro's pro.
Bobby Denton, bless his heart . . .

He knows his stuff- just yells too much!

Sorry, but MK screams like he's calling the music city miracle when they get a routine first down. No amount of diction, intellect, & show prep can fix that.

The yelling gets on your nerves! About like Verne Lundquist when he says WOW all the time.

Ever think that he does things that the Titans Admin might want? Mike can recite stats and loves the Vols. Doing radio is not trivia by any means, but his heart is Orange and White.

That would be one of the main reasons I'd like to have him back. Truth be told, I would like to have him and Wilkerson.

There were a number of people who were surprised that Bobby was able to do PA this year. Someday I'll post a really funny story about Bobby when he was being honored at the Knoxville Addy's a few years back.

I saw Kesling after the Arkansas-UT basketball game back in February. In that video, it looks like he's aged ten years and gained 50 pounds in ten months, but it's hard to day for sure without seeing him in person.

I don't see anything shocking. Heck he's getting older. He also probably eats like he's still playing ball. Age happens, I should know.

Looks about the same to me. I loved Ward, I really like Kesling and I think Keith does a great job. JMO
