R.I.P. Ron Franklin.

[DesotoCountyDawg]

One of the best college football announcers ever.

Phi Alpha Brother Ron!!!

 

[SpeckTaker]

His voice was football to me in college. RIP

 

[Jack Klompus.sixpack]

Totally agree. One of the all time best.

 

[Cooterpoot]

Didn't he get in trouble for "sexist" comments and lose his ESPN job?

he was good. Did not know he was a Rebel.

Called Jeanine Edwards “Sweet Baby” and Holly Rowe “Sweet Heart” … they were not amused and now we have Herbstreit.

He was the best. Who was his partner (who by the end of the game sounded like he as drunk) in the early 2000s? The golden era of ESPN Saturday night football.

Wasn’t in Mike Gottfried?

yuup, he was good too! What a great broadcast team.

And down to the sidelines with Adrian Karsten

Yet Biden calls a reporter "sweetheart" and he's a liberal/LGBTQ hero and had them all working to get him elected instead of fired like Franklin

Yep, it was ********. How Holly Rowe has kept a job, I'll never know. I guess the cancer got her sympathy, because she's horrible and unattractive. Bound to have some swing.

 

[FlotownDawg]

He called her sweet baby in a production meeting and when she objected to that he said something like “Ok, how about *******?”

Einhorn/Finkle has a face for radio.

Holly Rowe - " I have an idea for our broadcast."

Ron Franklin - "Sweet cakes, men are talking here."

******

[patdog]

I think Holly overreacted to being called sweetheart. Don't really blame Jeanine for objecting to being called sweet baby. In either case though, when Ron was told they didn't like it, he should have apologized and stopped instead of calling one of them "*******."

 

[Maroonandwhite]

Interesting. I never knew he was an Ole Miss alum until I looked him up today. Despite that flaw, he was a good commentator.

 

[dawgman42]

Mutt, Mutt, Mutt, Mutt, Mutt!!

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

He was the best. Met him on a plane ride back into Austin and was cordial and friendly when we spoke for a moment when we got on. I just told him I really liked his work. He thanked me and smiled. He was gracious to some other folks as well. I really miss his work when I hear the hyperbole laden crap from a lot of the current stars.

Anybody remember his Saturday morning ESPN fishing show?
