Ron Franklin is still the voice of college football on television to me. He and Gottfried together on ESPN Saturday nights were pure gold, even better than the Blackledge-Lundquist team on CBS. Though Gottfried has declined (to the point of ESPNU), Franklin still seems to be a quality man in the booth.

Now Franklin, already moved down the pecking order to ESPN2 games, has been reassigned to ABC regional coverage. That makes his chances of calling a Georgia game in the near future virtually nil.

In all of the Munson talk last week, someone (I will try to find a link) mentioned Franklin as a possible addition to the Georgia broadcast booth after Larry finally hangs it up. I thought that a bit of a stretch given his national TV gig, but as he gets pushed further and further down the list at ABC/ESPN, I have to admit that the idea sounds pretty interesting.

Read on about other changes to the ESPN/ABC lineup.

Erin Andrews…really…Saturday afternoon on ESPN? And Sean McDonough, still complaining about a Bryan McClendon touchdown at Vandy in 2005…hope you enjoy Friday nights.
