Update: Jim Rose now slightly more tolerable than your average VD

I've fought it for long enough, and I don't think I can anymore. Yes, Jim Rose has finally worn me down.

I am losing the intensity to complain about this Dorothy Lynch pimp. I don't even sigh anymore when he describes team colors and jerseys in the middle of a play. His out-of-scale descriptions and exclamations no longer seem like exaggerations.

What is it? Maybe it's the fact that he isn't going anywhere. Maybe its the realization that if is replaced, it would be by none other than Pavelka.

I do know one thing, he hasn't gotten any better over the years. I wish we had an exciting pbp announcer. One that didn't talk for 80% of the broadcast. One that could just give the yardage marker where the play ends before the next play starts. I don't think I'm asking for a lot. I want down and distance, formation, play and yardage. I don't need him to paint a picture of the teams jerseys or commentary on how great the opponent's stadium is.

I don't think there's another BCS school that would put up with this guy. Why do we?
