"...and you end up running your quarterback into the hole, it's almost like having ten blockers out there"- Andy Gresh (Via Steve)

Almost Andy....almost.

"If I'm Georgia, I'm gonna ride my hot guy right now." Gary Danielson (Via Gangsta D)

Now we're cooking!

Uh Brad....he's on the Saints.

Umm what?

"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 State scoreboard (Via jonef)

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)

Wow...that's just crazy. If someone can confirm this I'd love it. Okay...it's confirmed....what in the world.

...."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?

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.

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.

I don't know who gets the points, they're both definitely trying very hard.

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.

"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...
