ESPN 2011 College Football Announcing Teams

You'll always be in our hearts Ray & Pam.
ESPN announced their announcer pairings for the upcoming college football season. There's thankfully been some changes with the pairings for instance:

- Davie Joneses Locker has been splitten up. Mark Jones will call games with Ed Cunningham.
- Urban Meyer will call the ESPN Noon game with Dave Pasch and Chris Spielman.
- Dan "Go Play Inter murals Brother" Hawkins will join Pammy for the ESPNU afternoon telecast.
- Brian Griese will now call the ESPNU night game with Clay Matvick.
- Beth Mowins will call the ESPN2 noon game with former Oregon coach Mike Bellotti
- Bob Davie will call the ABC afternoon game with Bob Wischausen.
- Danny Kanell will join Rob Stone to call the ESPNU noon game.

Everything else stays the same. Yes Matt Millen will continue to work with Sean McDonough on the ABC afternoon game. Musberger and Herbstreit will continue to do the ABC night game. And Craig James is still around to ruin everyone's lives.

What wasn't in this press release was word on Gameday. I'm curious to see if Lee Corso is returning for another year. I thought after ESPN gave Corso that tribute last December that he might retire. Corso, not surprisingly so, hasn't been the same since having that stroke. It's going to be interesting if anything is announced from now until the first Saturday of the year.
