I thought the commentary crew was all around, really solid and brought up good points throughout. Here's to hoping TO's role in the networks grows and we see/hear him more. Go Tigers!

His analysis was eye opening for me.

Very, very happy- very, very proud.

TO is a great color guy. I also follow him on X as he provides great insight for CFB.

It is bias that causes negative comments about announcers. The fact is, networks would not hire people that did not know know what they are talking about despite how bad they sound or what school they attended.

I can't begin to count the number of times where talking heads covering an event had zero clue about what they were talking about. Bias can make it worse, but just flat out being demonstrably wrong so often raises real questions as to whether they "know what they're talking about".

Don’t agree Valley. You never listened to some of these biased commentators and ask yourself “how in the world did they land this gig?” Some just sound clueless to myself.

Bias is the right word

Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the broadcast, but there were times he seemed to be openly rooting for his tigers. If that had been Kenny Anderson, and he treated tech the way TO talked about us, Tnet woulda lost its mind.

I like his technical analysis and discussion.

It is unlike the generic color commentators that do the national high profile broadcasts.

He knows the teams so he says meaningful things and doesn't just make #### up to fill air gaps like many of the lower level commentators do.

T.O. Is VERY solid

Knows what he’s talking about and presents well. Bet he gets picked up by ESPN.

He's the best. He should be used more but he's not Mr. hot take guy so the idiots running those networks shy away from him.

Should've stayed at Clemson, but great to have him back (in the booth).

He is family. Thanks Terrence!
