12. Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson

Wait…what? Lundquist and Danielson? Yes…be thankful.

On the opposite end of the spectrum from Lee Corso, the CBS broadcasting team of Lundquist and Danielson draw the ire of practically every college football fan there is. But they are a necessary evil to give balance to the force.

They give everyone something to complain about…a “jinx” even. They hate everyone’s team more than the other team, regardless of what team you pull for. The are the antithesis of what networks intend to have as a reaction for their broadcast duos, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t working.

Lundquist is a legend. Danielson is his foil. They are ridiculed and knocked on a weekly basis, yet they are an important part of the game for us all.
