Hey, Check this.....C-Mottram found the video of Thom Brennaman calling Georgia the Gators from last night......



Good times.

"The defensive secondary has got to play well" - Barry Switzer (Via Mookie)

"West 'By Gosh' Virginia"- Matt Vasgersian

Ha...I think there's an F-word missing in there.

"Not only was he held, and got the sack, but he got held as well"- Terry Donahue

"Well Terry because of your filibuster let me get into the keys of the game for Oklahoma."- Pat Haden

Uh oh....the analysts are fighting now.

"I can tell you from being in a lot of bowl games that the speed and tempo of West Virginia is controlling this game."- Terry Donahue

I didn't know it took bowl game experience to state the obvious. (Via Fairplay)

"One of those "stupid" penalties"- Terry Donahue (Via JJ)

As JJ pointed out....There are smart penalties?

"Owen Schmitt, like a big runaway beer truck" - Matt Vasgersian (Via Mookie and Smitty)

WINNER!

"You know, I think it's time for Sam Bradford to respond."- Pat Haden

It's 20-6....you think?

"You were a Rhodes Scholar right? You spell that R-O-A-D-S right?"- Terry Donahue

"They're going to put him in for a couple of plays."- Laura Okmin on Steve Slaton

Umm, they just showed him with his pads off....don't think he's coming back honey.

"Pat White has gotten in and out of trouble with those beautiful legs of his." Terry Donahue (Via Fairplay)

"Sam Bradford and he's come out and been hot this half."- Terry Donahue

It's 3 minutes in Terry....settle down.

"And this is what happens in Football. Guys are going down on you."- Pat Haden (Via zeb)

"Boy they shouldn't let those two guys sit together. At least keep them in that order. You'd get the bloggers going all day on that one."- Matt Vasgersian

"there's not two ounces of nonsense in Bob Stoops".- Matt Vasgersian (Via Mal)

"I need to take that Jet."- Pat Haden
"There's a school bus out back that has Donahue, Haden, Vasgersian on it. That's how we're getting out of here."- Matt Vasgersian

"That's Oklahoma-type speed?"- Terry Donahue (Via JJ and lib4) on the Noel Devine Touchdown

Let me get this straight. Oklahoma can't keep up with a team that has "Oklahoma-type speed?" (Via JJ)

"If you put your nose up in the air just right you can smell the sofa cushions all the way from Morgantown."- Matt Vasgersian

Now THAT'S how you end a broadcast.

If I was betting on this game, I would have taken an over... expect A LOT of points to be scored.

OU is missing some key guys in their secondary, and it wasn't strong to begin with. Not to mention Granger's stupidity. Their offense is great as well

I dont think I need to mention WV's offense

I get to watch the WVA versus OU game on FOX sports with a certain amount of trepidation. There are 2 issues at hand here.

1. The announcers (where did you find these yahoo's) haven't quick jabberring for the entire 1st half of football, and what they are saying has little to do with the game or the players. They have talked their way through many plays, flags, and replays without any comments on the plays???

2. I realize that we are watching WVA and OU, but I have to believe that the cheerleaders HAVE TO LOOK BETTER THAN THE BAND MEMEBRS???? If thats the best they can do, maybe they should be covering the game!!!

In conclusion, the TV is now on mute, and will stay that way for the rest of the evening. I hope that the Orange Bowl and BCS championship games will have some announcers that have a clue about their presence on live TV!!!

Don't know if this was covered yesterday, but does anyone else have a problem with Howie Long's son being one of four finalists for Fox's college player award? Dude's a beast, but he's not Glenn Dorsey or Sedrick Ellis.

After all the games this week, I'm beginning to wonder if we even need announcers. Of course, then this blog would have to find something else.

If Vaginarian keeps saying "WVU" a beer can might meet my TV.

Three plays ago, Donahue said "I would go for the knockout blow here."

WVU scores in three plays.

Then, Donahue says "I don't know if that's the knockout blow. I've seen teams come back"

Someone please shut the Oklahoma band the fuck up! Every damn play they start up.

Jan 2, 2008, 11:12:00 PM  

Almost every major D-1 band plays something after every play. But they don't have to show it and cue up the iso mic every time they start up.

Oklahoma has too much history, too much tradition, too much pride not to give up. And the West Virginia sideline probably just said "oh shit. Here comes Oklahoma's tradition!"

Ten bucks says that half of WVU doesn't even remember Josh Heupel. Hell, maybe Jason White.

With apologies to Brent, the only difference between Joe McKnight and Noel Devine (besides the ESPN hype) is that you ACTUALLY can't catch Noel Devine.

West Virginia has scored, what, FIVE easy touchdowns against Oklahoma in the second half.

Could you even imagine what ESPN would be saying if USC did that to them?

And I'm guessing that OU's defense is at least as good as Illinois' defense.
