Bert Bertelkamp, the color analyst for VolNetwork is quite possibly the single worst commentator since the “Austin Incident” where Brent Musburger, in a drunken haze, still reeling from the roofies put in his pre-game cocktail by Bob Davie in an attempt to “seize the power of the footbaw mic.”
Seriously though, Mr. Bertelkamp, please retire. You suck. I could do a better job at commentating than you, simply based on the fact that I have a vocabulary larger than my dog’s. In fact, my dog has a larger vocabulary than Bert Bertelkamp. Nevermind that I don’t have a dog, but if I did, I’d train him to know at least 2 words (see what I did there?).
As it turns out, Bert, wanting to get in on any audio clip possible, decides with stunning voracity and frequency, that it would be a good idea to yell random things after Bob Kesling announces that a Tennessee player has made a basket. Apparently, at some point, a determination was made that thinking up new and interesting things to say after made baskets was becoming tiresome, instead, replacing it with an easy to remember, two syllable word: MONEY!
Bertelkamp: “This Picture is MONEY!”
Perhaps I’m being a bit harsh here, but seriously, you suck worse than my ex-wife. Nevermind that I don’t have an ex-wife either, but I would imagine that if she was indeed my ex, it would be because she sucked… or maybe didn’t. Hmm, I kinda rode the train right off the rails on that one.
Anyway, next time you’re so inclined, tune in to the VolNetwork, but stay away from pointy objects lest you might want to pierce your eardrums. Thanks Bert. Thanks.

I’ll admit “money” has gotten on my nerves before but I think the real blame should be on Lofton. If he didn’t make so many three’s he would have to say something else. So if you must blame anyone blame our teams ability to drain three’s like MONEY!
BigBeefe (is the last “e” really necessary?) that was perhaps the single awesomest comment… EVAR
Bert may not have a big vocabulary OR be a great color commentator but honestly, I freakin’ love him because of these things. He’s hysterical to listen to and is completely in the game. I didn’t get to listen to the radio broadcast of the FL game but I would have laid money during it that his head exploded before halftime. Bert, keep up the good work! You do have alot of fans out there.
whereas I do stick by my statement that Bert^2elkamp isn’t as good a commentator as say, my hamster, I will agree with you that he does get into the game. And yes, I do believe his head indeed exploded at the end of the first half of the Florida game.
i think bert noes the game better than bob kesling or any of you so i would put a sock in it and listin to bert!!! MONEY!
Bert is the absolute worst color commentator in the history of radio. Nobody comes close. If he worked for Lowe’s or Home Depot, he not be allowed to speak on the store PA. Customers would leave in droves. Being into “The Game” is not a credential. He is a bad reflection on not only Professional Broadcasting but the level of education available for a degree at UT. Bertlekamp is an idiot. Being a former player does not qualify one to sit behind a mic anymore than putting on a uniform qualifies one to be on the Volunteer Basketball team. The UT Network should be ashamed.
Yes but giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to the University every year does. I believe listening to Bert is worth………….hate to do this but, worth the MONEY!
[...] on Bert’s style. Some think it gets old and he should be a bit more inventive– see this Fulmer’s Belly post for a scathing [...]
sry but bert is great , M _ O _ N _ E _ Y
Just so you know he still does it
I am a Kentucky Fan , but I work in Tennessee, which means I have a lot of opportunities to listen to the Vols on WIVK. Bob Kessling is a fine announcer. Bert is terrible. Other than the lame “Money” YUCCHHH!!! He also wants to call all of the Vols by there First name. Hey Bert, did it ever occur to you that someone who is not that familiar with the team may occasionally listen? This is not a slight to the Vols! Getting Bertelkamp to give a last name would transform HIS game from the playground to the SEC, which I’m sure we would all agree would be…..$*$*$*$*$ (MONEY)
I am unable to believe the quantity of quality content which exist on this particular site. The site is very appealing and draws your reader directly in, the articles or blog posts are usually superb quality and are extremely professionally written. I’ve witnessed too many of these sites where it seems as if they pay an 8 year old to do the writing – Not this place. Your web blog is easily the best which i have witnessed in a long while.
