Bummer.  I wonder if Eli will participate in the broadcast from home, even in a minor way.  Probably not.

So sad. I hope they both return to normal. Prayers for the Gold family and those around them. RTR!

Who is going to take his place? I assume it will be Chris Stewart but he would normally be in Atlanta calling the basketball game.

My brother mentioned it was Chris, but I'm not sure he'd officially heard that or just assumed.   I didn't think about the BB game at the time.

Chris calls the basketball & baseball games for the Tide. IMO he is very good. Basketball and baseball often over lap in late March and Chris calls the basketball games. I assume football will take priority over basketball. I assume Bryan Passink will call the BB game if Chris calls the FB game.
