Loran Smith to the booth
Georgia ISP announced, in a sort of by-the-way fashion, that longtime sideline announcer Loran Smith is being replaced this season by Chuck Dowdle.
Smith will remain with the gameday crew, hosting the three-hour pregame show with Neil Williamson.
But Dowdle will now handle sideline duties and the halftime radio interview with Bulldogs head coach Mark Richt.
Dowdle recently retired after a quarter-century as sports director and anchor at WSB TV in Atlanta. He has already been hosting the Locker Room Show with Richt, and will continue in that role.

I can't freaking stand Dowdle's voice - any way we could hire a call girl to take him out, get him drunk and put her panties between his legs???
Top 3 Loran-isms:
(1) "Looks like some-a our boys caught a cramp, Larry";
(2) "berled peanuts";
(3) "on the sidelines with a blister, soaking his hand in some pickle juice".
All in that beautiful Southern tenor lilt.
Loran, we hardly knew ye.
DGD.
