As exciting as Auburn's own radio call of the Kick Six was, I've always liked Verne's call because of its simplicity. "Touchdown, Auburn; an answered prayer!" is about as perfect a description as I can imagine.

Verne always did it like the pro that he was. When he first started, there were a lot of very good play-by-play guys. As he bows out, he stands as one of the greatest ever.
No he doesnt. Sec football fans remember him as THE WORST EVER
@@fuckcensorship69 He stayed with football play-by-play for about 3 years too long. He was hard to listen to, in those last 3 years. Gary Danielson has even talked about Verne not being sharp in those years. Before that, for over 50 years, he was fantastic.
@@darrinlindsey I'd say 15 years too long. In the Tebow days he was already annoying AF..... it's funny Gary said that, bc he's the second worst of all time, but verne was his biggest fan
@@fuckcensorship69 Gary Danielson is one of the best college analysts in the business. Again, not as good as he once was, but still good.
@@darrinlindsey he's not. At all
What's weirder than football on TNT? Heath Shuler throwing a touchdown.
Montana Rice 1988 has to be up there.
4:05 2000 the first turning point in Ravens history
How did you get such clear footage of some of those early 2000s games?? Fantastic work
A great list/compilation, but could have been made greater by his Happy Gilmore calls. ;)
I was hoping that you would do Al Michaels' Top 50 greatest calls of all time or one with Ian Eagle & Kevin Harlan
Jackie Smith has to be #1…it’s iconic over 50 years later from one of the greatest Super Bowls
Missed the Bounty Bowl II when he announced on-air that getting a root canal was not as unpleasant as broadcasting an Evils game.
10:21 my favorite clip 😂
Yeah….that was #1
What a fuckin career
I thought the Jackie Smith drop would be number2. The Latener call is number one.
It's funny, some of Verne's calls sounded like he had money on the game.
Kick Six has to be #1.
I was there for #14.
Jack Nicklaus Putt should be number one.
#44 ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
Can you do Kevin Harlan next?
Tennessee beating UGA was enzymes amazing
Kevin Butler’s bounce off the upright Cardinals over Cowboys 1997
Should have had at least one Darren Mcfadden touchdown run for a highlight
The Top 4 could've been in any order.
6:11 Kevin Butler
I T S A F O O T R A C E
Can we get a Kevin Harlan top 50 next?
No Fog Bowl clips in the top 50?
What is this? The Verne’s best calls that are anti Alabama? Damn.
If Shooter McGavin doesn’t get out of this funk he’s in, he’ll miss out on the green jacket again!
I still think Verne says… “In your wake…” ,, not “In your life… “ … which on the surface, doesn’t make sense … but actually fits Tiger’s monumental chip in moment
Glad you didn't include Scottie F'ing Reynolds vs. Pitt.
6:24 BANK!
How about gus johnson next he is great 👍 👌 😀
12:56 Jackie Smith
We'll see dee tomorrow night. Kirby Puckett home run 91 world series game six.
Well- Jack’s putt on 16 has to be #2
I would've thought Laettner would be 1
Maybe do Brad Nessler next?
Oh Wow! Guess what's No. 1!
can you do kevin harlan next?
Not all of these are his calls VL himself said Nicklaus 86 masters and Tiger chip in were his 1A and 1B
#1 is Happy Gilmore!
Better then most, was that except Jack
Verne Lundquist R.I.P. He will not be forgotten, R.I.P.
Is he dead? I haven't heard anything yet...
@@JonesDylan874 This is a tribute to Verne, so he must have died. They only do tributes when people die. He can only be dead.
@@adambaum9732 He is still alive
He just called his last Masters, so that's probably the reason for the tribute while he is still of this Earth. @@adambaum9732
@@jtp2007 You don't know that, no one can know anything about anything anymore.
