Favorite TV Announcers for ISU FB (with Poll)

- Start date
Joel Klatt and Joel Meyers called the 2011 game against Iowa, i.e. the Steele Jantz game.
Joe tessitore he called the game on ESPN when the clones shocked the college football world against the cowpokes!!
Most of the play by play guys are pretty decent. It is something they have worked on as a career. It seems harder to find a quality analyst. Most are retired players who appear to do very minimal prep for the game. Due to the large number of TV games, I think the overall quality of the analyst is down.
Though they tend to have the douche factor turned up to 11, I think Klatt, Jesse Palmer and Dan Orlovsky are good analysts that do their homework. McElroy is good too, but I'd say he's considerably more vanilla.
McDonough and Blackledge are pros
Brando and Tillman are solid as well.
For some reason I tend not to notice play by play guys much because I'm so focused on the play. They have to suck hard for me to notice. I found that Barrie (?) guy on ESPN that did the Texas game this year quite annoying. Pairing him with the younger Golic was painful.

OK, so I didn'see "TV" announcer specified (Oops, now I see it in the thread title, but I will still keep my answer!) . Thus, I have to say Pete Taylor and his immortal call of Seneca Wallace and "The Run"! https://www.pinterest.cl/pin/421297740111897629/
Almost as good was his call on Marv Seiler's run against NE. Here is a video where Eric Heft and John Walters remember Pete and you hear that NE call.

I voted Brando and Tillman because they usually always really compliment that gameday atmosphere at the Jack and talk about how great an environment Ames is (and you can tell it's not pandering and they mean it)
