2012 Wish List: If the VT/GT Labor Day night game is true....

Please, ESPN, keep Kirk Herbstreit away from it.

Never mind the fact that I just don't like him calling VT games.  He hasn't yet called one that Tech wins (at least not in the last three or four years).

  1. Looking back at the last three Labor Day games, it appears ESPN has rotated their broadcasters:

    2011: Sean McDonough & Matt Millen (MD-Miami)
    2010: Brent & Kirk (VT-Boise), Mike Patrick & Craig James (MD-Navy)
    2009: Brad Nessler & Todd Blackledge (Miami-Florida State)

    My guess is good as any for 2012. Joe Tessitore & Rod Gilmore, perhaps? They did a few games beyond Fridays last year, including the UVA-VT game. If they do the Friday night Michigan State - Boise State game, that would give them plenty of time to fly from East Lansing to Blacksburg. Plus, they tend to call some pretty enjoyable games (Boise-Nevada 2010, Baylor-TCU 2011, OK State-Iowa State 2011...plus that 38-0 Hokie beatdown of the Hoos).
