Gary Danielson's Week 1 broadcast of Ohio State leaves Big Ten fans fuming
Gary Danielson is broadcasting Ohio State’s Week 1 game against Akron with CBS officially beginning its first full season handling the Big Ten under the new media rights deal. Needless to say, some fans are not thrilled with the assignment.
Week 1 is never going to be the best for teams on the field as they are trying to get into a groove. Not only is that the case for players and coaches, but also referees and even broadcasters can fall into that category of trying to get back into a rhythm.
Danielson and Brad Nessler are the two announcers broadcasting the Akron and Ohio State game, and viewers aren’t enjoying Danielson to start the game. Some are even wondering if he can return to calling the SEC while a handful of SEC fans admit they are thankful he’s no longer handling the conference.
No matter where you fall on the spectrum, it’s a rough Week 1 reaction for Danielson’s call:
Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson calling this #OhioState game. Brutal announcing. Almost as brutal as this Buckeyes O-line pic.twitter.com/7wwKj3zZK7

I’m three hours away in Morgantown and I can still hear Gary Danielson’s whining from here.

Gary Danielson is rough man. Not sure how many times we are going to be on CBS but he’s pretty washed at this point imo

I get the sense Gary Danielson still wishes he was doing SEC games.

Gary Danielson wants to cry that he’s in a grey Columbus, Ohio. Danielson definitely thinking about the cold October upcoming. https://t.co/Hf7O80WvVQ

Ohio State currently leads Akron 17-3 at the half.
You can have him Big10, we don’t want him back
SEC fans don’t agree on a whole lot. But I doubt any of us miss Gary.
How do media boys keep missing the count of how many fans see Danielson show up and just decide to go to the next room and play penny a point poker. He is like fingernails on a chalkboard.
