âJeff Dantzler, Jon Stinchcomb and D.J. Shockley share a tremendous passion for the University of Georgia,â Georgia athletic director Josh Brooks said in a statement put out by the school. âWe look forward to many more iconic calls as they bring to life exceptional moments in Georgia Bulldogs history.

Seriously?! I mean, seriously? Scott Howard is an incredible supporter of the University of Georgia and is a graduate of the University of Georgia. His calls are legendary and I am unhappy with this change.
I loved Munson and would have kept him forever however, his passing made that impossible. Scott was his analyst and slid into the role perfectly. If you couldn’t recognize his passion in his calls, you were on the wrong station. I wondered why Zeier was replaced. Seems something may have already been brewing.
Munson passed away. Scott Howard was fired. And that sucks.
Danzler should have gotten the job 16 years ago. He had Munson’s endorsement at the time. Howard is pure vanilla. Danzler will bring a depth of knowledge and passion that Howard just doesn’t have. I think people’s support for Howard is based merely on their familiarity with him; after 16 years of hearing his voice he brings a certain unconscious level of comfort to Dawgs fans; they make automatic associations with him and all the good times the past decade.
Take the new tv Braves broadcast team for example. Nothing exactly wrong with them, they are just extremely boring. But if they stay in the booth for a 15 years Braves fans will grow accustomed to them and miss them when they are gone despite being average at their jobs.

we “miss the voice” because we associate it with everything that’s happened in the Kirby era, the same way we associate the autumn weather with college football in general and attending games in Sanford Stadium in particular. Howard was merely ok. Danzler is an upgrade
Lots of questions here I love Jeff on the pre and post game show with Kevin Butler , however I have to wonder what was the decision making process here? Scott Howard has been very good to great for a long time and the chemistry with Eric and that entire crew was excellent. Just very odd I haven't heard anyone seriously upset with the job Scott was doing….selfishly I would hope Jeff and Kevin continued their show but seems that is not happening …and what happens to Lindsey and Hondo ?? I'm still getting over Munson so this is a lot to swallow.
