For the first time since 2009, Eli Gold will be calling Alabama football games with a new color analyst by his side.
Gold, the voice of the Crimson Tide, joined me and Lee Shirvanian on "The Opening Kickoff" on WNSP-FM 105.5 to talk about the addition of John Parker Wilson to the Crimson Tide Sports Network.
"He was a great choice," Gold said. "There's no question he knows his X's and O's. That goes without saying. It's going to be a lot of fun."
Wilson, the Alabama quarterback from 2005-08, replaces Phil Savage, who announced in July he was leaving the post after recently taking the GM job for the Phoenix franchise of the new AAF professional league.
