Ah damn. That sucks. Glad to see Ian Eagle will be calling games through the Elite 8 though.

Sad news. He was a big part of the tourney.

Sucks, but I'm much more concerned about him missing the Masters. He's been a staple on the 16th hole forever! Any word on if he'll still be able to do that?

Most fans really liked him until he became a biased SEC shill every Saturday football game.
It was pathetic watching him and Gary Danielson suck Alabama rooster everytime they played.

Great announcer. Didn't really cater to frat party drinker types. But that was his neighborhood. Master's is most over-rated event on the plant ever. Period.

Phew. Thought it was gonna be followed by dead. Verne has been off his game the past couple years. Good time to step away.
