Your 2009 ESPN College Football Announcers

It's July 9 and thus seems a little early, but alas, ESPN has announced their pairings for the 2009 NFL college football season and I must say, there are some surprise changes that I was not expecting, such as the demotion of Mike Patrick from the prime time games and Sean McDonough's new announce partner, Matt Millen!

WOW! Brad Nessler to the 2nd best game of the week and look at what happened to Mike Patrick, the secondary ABC afternoon primetime game. HOLY COW! Meanwhile I can't help to feel bad for Dave Pasch. First he is with Andre Ware, and now he is in a trio with Bob Griese and Chris Spielman. Actually scratch that, I think I feel worse for Griese. A decent analyst and he ends up with clowns like Paul Maguire and now Chris Spielman.
