Dave Flemming and Brock Osweiler work well together, I always look forward to watching games that they call.
They have an excellent assignment calling rematch of “Brawl of the Wild”.
give me 7 mediocre bowl games rather than this farce of a playoff….one rematch last night, a rematch today with 2 coaches who quit, an fcs team vs oregon and two teams who cant win it at noon….stop ruining this sport please Greg and Tony. the real games today are in the FCS thats how bad they botched this
Whos In? You’re the one that ruining this sport not Greg & Tony they are doing what is best for CFB pardon me for criticizing you & I am not hurting you at all.
Merry Christmas God’s blessing for an excellent Holiday season buddy.
Settle down, fans are not ruining anything. It’s just online banter.
no i just want the tradition of the sport to continue bc thats all this sport really has. if you want to watch nfl then go do it, hows this miami-a&m game?? #riveting
Money runs, tradition walk
