Lol yeah this was one of Kesling's real low lights. I mean this was our biggest win in 20 years...John Ward would have killed it...Kesling is good but he definitely underwhelmed with this one.
@@Vol2169 Remember John Ward . He wasn’t just the best Tennessee ever had . He was universally acknowledged as the best in the country for school broadcasters and yes he would have been a lot more emphatic than this guy . Is he a Vulcan ?
Compare this Rod Bramblett’s call of the kick six. It’s just not even worth discussing. UT’s biggest win in probably 2 decades and Blob Kesling can’t even give us a memorable call worth listening to even once more. I’m all Vol, not an Auburn fan, and even I have listened to the kick six over and over because it captures the visceral sense of excitement and sheer joy, the overwhelming emotion of the moment. It’s truly one of the greatest calls in the history of world sport. This moment wasn’t on par with the stakes of that moment, so it’s a bit of apples to oranges, but this moment deserves so much better than this. Laying out and just having Grown men shrieking and uttering unintelligible exhortations would have been better than this, as it would have more accurately captured the emotions and the scene of wild delirium inside Neyland at that moment.
This is just a painful reminder to me that John Ward is no longer with us. Gone are the days of watching the game with the sound muted and listening to the radio call. I get Bob tries not to "overdo" it and tries to separate his commentating style from John, but had it not been for the crowd noise in the background and I was just listening to the game on radio, it would have GREATLY taken away from the moment for me.
They could have pick Mike Keith. He wanted the job is much better than Kesling. Keith even still pays a small subtle tribute to Ward each week during his call of the Titans games.
I remember watching this game live, and when CBS aired this call, I was like “that’s it?”. I’ve called D3 football games with 100x more excitement than that
I don't get the vols broadcast so I can be wrong but is there a guy that screams and gets excited a lot on it or is he on something else? If so feel like him screaming Yes or It's Good! When it went through would've made it better
Bob is a true professional. Some people don't like it and would prefer to have the commentator lose control every once in a while, but the man is just doing his job.
I don’t get the hate either, he does fine. I don’t have to have the commentator lose his mind every game, he just calls the game and I know what’s going on
He sucks as a radio play by play announcer. That's why people don't like him. It's not complicated. John Ward never "lost control" he was just really good. Way to misrepresent people's dislike of Bob suckling.
@@us-bw6hg How? I can follow what's happening on the field just fine listening to him. Isn't that the job? Lemme guess you'd rather hear Gary Danielson throat the whole bama team?
Yes, Bob Kesling does his job and nothing more. He does about the same thing that the public address announcer does in the stadium...... down, distance, run/pass by (fill in the blank), tackled by (fill in the blank)...... I could sit outside the stadium and listen to the PA guy and crowd and get more from it than Keslings broadcast. He basically is a monotone machine. I agree that we do not need someone that yells and screams all the time, but a little excitement to match the atmosphere of the game would be nice. After John Ward retired they could have gotten Mike Keith. Most Vol fans would agree that he would have been a much better pick than Kesling.
I mean Tennessee had to win a game against Alabama eventually. Some players on Tennessee's team were probably 2 or 3 years old the last time Tennessee won.
You know Bryce put up heisman stats this game, right? Over 450 yards and his best QBR all season. Go root for poverty Ohio State until they lose to Michigan 2x in a row, or manage to make the playoffs again to get embarrassed once more. Alabama is the program Ohio State tries so hard to pretend to be... Bryce Young will be competing for a national championship this season, Ohio State will busy be pretending they won one when they beat garbage ass bottom feeders.
This radio call was a DISGRACE to the program. The first win over Alabama since 2006 and Kesling is like "yay! Tennessee won! oh yay!". Like the Vols had just beaten Louisiana Tech or something
@@greggladson8127 you’re high as hell. I just listened to some of his “greatest calls” and he’s nowhere near as energetic as Larry. “That… is… a… touchdown big orange.” Fuckin trash 😂
I like Bob Kessling but man this is depressing. Theres no excitement at all, its like he didn't even care or something. John Ward would turn over in his grave. SMH Please consider someone else that has excitement when we win.
Wheres John Ward when you need him
Exactly. Very disappointed in Kesling with this one....
You can never depend on buckeye bob to give Tennessee the respect they deserve.
Lord NO kidding, I've been mad at his hiring since day one.
Resting in his forever midness
2 yard gain or game winning Fg? same response from Kesling
@Joe Wright I think that's my problem I like Gus Johnson and his Big 10 broadcasts his enthusiasm really encapsulates the moment
A John Ward call for that FG would have been epic
I thought it was kinda weak as well. He’s not getting any younger, maybe his voice doesn’t do well when yelling.
He get just as excited for the other team, no John Ward that's for sure
@@brandoncoxwell9181 He's got some tough shoes to fill following the greatest of all time John Ward
That sure was a radio call of a game-winning play
Agreed. Of all the game winning radio calls, this was one of them.
Lol yeah this was one of Kesling's real low lights. I mean this was our biggest win in 20 years...John Ward would have killed it...Kesling is good but he definitely underwhelmed with this one.
It sounds like he's reporting on mile 4 of a marathon.
This is going to be talked about for so many years!! We needed this so bad!! Such an awesome feeling!!😃😃 GO VOLS!!!!
surprised there wasn’t more of a reaction. usually a very exciting broadcast
I heard it
Kesling is terrible
@@Vol2169 Remember John Ward . He wasn’t just the best Tennessee ever had . He was universally acknowledged as the best in the country for school broadcasters and yes he would have been a lot more emphatic than this guy . Is he a Vulcan ?
@Ryan Wallace Man, that was one of the worst calls ever. “What a turn of events!”
You can hear the others in the back cheering Bob is and always will be calm cool and collected
How can you be that calm? Good night! That’s almost an insult to the game.
This dude seems stoked…
I miss John ward
Agreed. Kesling is awful.
They should have picked Mike Kieth to replace John Ward
Don't we all.
Joe Buck would be proud
😂😂😂😂😂😂
For real!!! I was hoping for some Kick 6 energy or app state blocking Michigan energy…very disappointed 😂
“Mitchell. Mitchell. Mitchell”
Can we upgrade this position next, please?
This! It’s way past due!
That will be remembered as one of the best radio calls
I was expecting this to be more like the kick 6 radio call. I'm disappointed
Vol fans have been disappointed since John Ward retired.

Nothing compared to Auburn's kick six call
The calmest reaction ever heard.
JOHN WARD WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD!!!!!!!
Proud of the Vols..... not of Kesling

Keith even still pays a small subtle tribute to Ward each week during his call of the Titans games.
@@vincenzodemora9274 troll much??
Only thing with listening to Ward while watching it on TV was the delay on a long touchdown run.
That was Bob Kesling of the Vol Network
I miss John Ward. 😔
I remember watching this game live, and when CBS aired this call, I was like “that’s it?”. I’ve called D3 football games with 100x more excitement than that
Game for the ages
Look how excited they are…you know when Alabama beats you they just go home and prepare for next game
I don't get the vols broadcast so I can be wrong but is there a guy that screams and gets excited a lot on it or is he on something else? If so feel like him screaming Yes or It's Good! When it went through would've made it better
Maybe Mike Keith for the Titans. He's one of the best in the NFL.
Context-tone-deaf-Bob-Kesling
Bob is a true professional. Some people don't like it and would prefer to have the commentator lose control every once in a while, but the man is just doing his job.
Yeah I don't get the hate. He's got a great voice. Yeah he's not John Ward but that's a tough act to follow.
I don’t get the hate either, he does fine. I don’t have to have the commentator lose his mind every game, he just calls the game and I know what’s going on

Bob, John would be proud.
I had the same thought
It's a shame we went from John Ward to Bob Kesling. Smh
That was a very underwhelming reaction?
The absolute WORST play caller in radio. I haven't listened to a game in 20+ years because of Kesling.
meh
😴💤
Well that was lame....
lazy call
Terrible call lol
The most important takeaway from this game is that Ohio State continues to live in infamy, with the only double Heisman winner. So long, Bryce.
You know Bryce put up heisman stats this game, right? Over 450 yards and his best QBR all season. Go root for poverty Ohio State until they lose to Michigan 2x in a row, or manage to make the playoffs again to get embarrassed once more. Alabama is the program Ohio State tries so hard to pretend to be...
Bryce Young will be competing for a national championship this season, Ohio State will busy be pretending they won one when they beat garbage ass bottom feeders.
Tennessee not out of the woods yet. Still have to go to Georgia
Don't forget Kentucky.They have a top 20 defense!
Dont be a buzz kill!
Who said they were out of the woods? I think Vols fans are well aware of the schedule.
Kesling is terrible. Should have e picked Mike Keith to replace John Ward.
Kesling get's more excited when he calls basketball but that being said he isn't John Ward but who is!! I miss John Ward !!!!
I agree but the Titans came calling.
Well… that was boring…
This radio call was a DISGRACE to the program. The first win over Alabama since 2006 and Kesling is like "yay! Tennessee won! oh yay!". Like the Vols had just beaten Louisiana Tech or something
No offense, but that call SUCKED. Where's John Ward when you need him?
Wow. This is.........underwhelming.
They aren't used to winning against Bama.
Worst call ever lol
Bob is so bad. Go vols
What a horrible announcer for the home team. That’s why Larry Munson is the GOAT. Go Dawgs!!
Larry Munson is dead, and before he was dead , John Ward was his better in every respect
@@greggladson8127 you’re high as hell. I just listened to some of his “greatest calls” and he’s nowhere near as energetic as Larry. “That… is… a… touchdown big orange.” Fuckin trash 😂
Need a new radio broadcaster he is so boring to listen to
He's terrible
Garbage radio call
I like Bob Kessling but man this is depressing. Theres no excitement at all, its like he didn't even care or something. John Ward would turn over in his grave. SMH
Please consider someone else that has excitement when we win.
