Now that's funny.
"You know the best advice I've heard all season is to avoid Hospital dumpsters."- Chris Spielman
Too funny without context....I'll have the video up shortly but apparently Silva from BC is a dumpster diver. So random.
I'm pretty sure I just heard Mark Jones say the following, as UVA was going into the locker room with a 31-0 lead: "The Cavaliers come in here, and they're like, you know, your uncle that shows up to a party and has too much, and ends up putting the lampshade on his head." (Via Charles)

38 Comments:
"Michigan can get exotic with its offense here." - Andre Ware
Someone's got some naughty thoughts on the brain.
Ware..."That spells NFL on Sunday" as opposed to NFL on Wednesday? Thanks for clearing that up.
"That's their largest bulge in the game" - Eric Collins in NW/Indiana
Someone's got to send in video of Pasch & Ware gettin jiggy wit it.
the color guy at IU-NU said after IU missed a fair catch signal for a penalty:"He either didn't see it or it was a brain fart."
"If one Wells runs dry, try another one." - Nessler
"They say he's money, but he almost left some change on the table with that kick." - Gary Danielson, as the Auburn kicker sneaks in a field goal.
"If I'm Georgia, I'm gonna ride my hot guy right now." Gary Danielson
"And he is going to be dragged down by Will Smith, I mean Will Davis"...Good catch Brad
oh come on, people make slips and correct themselves during the setence all the time. that's extremely petty.
"He would have had to pull a Louganis to avoid diving into Cox." - Verne Lundquist, as a UGA player gets called for roughing the passer.
Not an announcing-based comment, but an observation.
If Vandy becomes bowl eligible, the SEC will have more bowl-eligible teams than the Pac 10 has teams.
Don't tell me the SEC isn't the best conference in the country.
"That's not the first time I've seen him lit up" - Bob Griese in reference to Paul Maguire's mug being lit up above Ohio St. scoreboard
"It's tied 24-20 right now" - Matt Winer reporting on the ASU/UCLA game. All things math have gone straight to the toilet.
Mook, that was in reference to the Georgia game. He was good.
Anon- I know...that's crazy. I think you'd be hard pressed for people to say the SEC isn't the best conference.
"If Ohio State wants to win, the defense has to start playing good defense" - Bob Griese
As opposed to????
"Lingerie on the field!" - Verne Lundquist, after Knowshon Moreno scores for Georgia.
"Watch Isaiah Wilson er Williams" - Paul McGuire. I hate this trio with a passion.
"Juice has matured into a fine wine right before our eyes." - Nessler
"Just throw it up to the 6 foot 3 Johnson" - Dan Fouts in the UCLA/ASU game
"He forwarded it forward" - Tim Brant on the last lateral play in the UCLA/ASU game.
"The mental errrror leads to a BC Touchdown."--Lamont
A follow up to Spielman's "analysis" of BC's choice to hand the ball to the fullback on 1st and Goal from the 6, and then again on 2nd and Goal from the 1. Spielman's analysis was simply, "Grrr, Grrr, Grrr."
I don't know who gets the points, they're both definitely trying very hard.
I was under the impression Louganis loved diving into cox
[Looking at a pregame video of Tim Tebow in a tight shirt.]
"That's a big kid." - Mike Patrick
"Yeah." - Todd Blackledge
"That's a Todd Blackledge kind of body." - Mike Patrick
"That is not. No. Sherry Blackledge probably wishes that was a Todd Blackledge body."
UVA color analyst Frank Quayle, after pbp man Mac McDonald inadvertently called UM the Dolphins: "That's an insult to the Hurricanes, Mac."
They also just had Quint give a report from a dumpster. Oh how I've missed BC getting the 17th string announcing crew.
Too funny....that video will be up shortly Phil.
Hell has frozen over; the 101st ranked offense in the country, UVA, leads Miami 38-0 in the 3rd quarter.
"I understand [the tree people], I've got a bit of tree hugger in me." - David Norrie, talking about the tree-sitter issue during USC-Cal
Jesus tapdancing Christ I hate him and Terry Gannon so much.
Just before the last play of the UCLA-ASU game, as they were anticipating laterals from UCLA, Tim Brant remarked that they worked for Millsaps.
Um, Tim, Millsaps LOST that game.
Doof.
Mark Jones sounded like he just lost a family member during most of the second half...
The Perfect Eulogy for the Orange Bowl . . .
"The Orange Bowl certainly had its day. But I'm glad they're moving out of that dump because their day was a long time ago." - Mike Patrick
"Well the day of its press box was a long time ago." - Todd Blackledge
"If you liked a place that leaked from every part of its roof, that was your building." - Mike Patrick
The Rams are 0-6 - Mike Patrick forgetting that they're 0-8.
I'm looking at the list, but I can't find, and never caught, the names of the guys doing the UNC-NC State game. But during an Official Review of a pass to the endzone that was dropped as the reciever hit the ground, this is what I hear:
"Thats a football play. Based on football, thats a fumble."
Amazing.
"Did John Glenn have the greatest comebacks in the history of comebacks? I mean, when you think about it, right, you know, it's not like a boxer coming back or an athlete, John Glenn got back in the saddle and headed for the moon."-Charles Davis
Probably not the stupidest thing ever said in the Pam Ward Chronicles, but uh, could Charles Davis try to make more sense next time?
Pam Ward repeatedly calling "The Esso Club" (Brent Musburger plugs it when he is in Clemson at least once) "The Esso Bar"...I'm in full agreement with various magazines that it is one of THE places to be on autumn Saturdays. C'mon, Pam, know where you are!! Go there and get a PBR like Brent...
...."and you end up running your quarterback into the hole, it's almost like having ten blockers out there". Andy Gresh on NESN explaining a QB draw during Amherst-Williams game. Now if the QB keeps the ball dont you have 10 blockers?
