"Javid Breast."-Spielman

Um Chris, it's Best.

What's up with Spielman and his balls and breasts? Is he getting some before the telecasts??

"He had to swallow the ball" (after a Kyle Parker sack)- Steve Martin.

Desmond Howard on College Gameday: "It's time to separate the platinum (bad teams) from the white (good teams) gold."

"At this point, if it were tag, nobody would be able to touch him (CJ Spiller)" Doc Walker

"You heard the progress on Julio Jones, a big maybe." Cara Capuano.

Mike Hogewood (ACC sideline reporter): "The players don't mind rain, they want a mud game. Sideline reporters: not so much."

"When you start out like they are starting out, it certainly does work." - Chris Spielman talking about Cal arriving in Minnesota a day early to be better adjusted to the time.

They just had a promo for ESPN Chicago.com on the ECU-UNC game. Or what Pam Ward says: "Da Bears!"

"When you have those balls on the ground, you gotta go get them." - Chris Spielman

"They could have had practice in there."-Greise

"At least walk throughs."-Spielman

Talking about Minnesota's new locker room.

The BTN is definitely not the Big Time Network. They had a graphic for the PSU-Temple game showing the coaches...and they got the names on the wrong coaches.

"Pressure causes leaks" - Doc Walker after Clemsons QB throws INT

Ray Bentley about the East Carolina offense going after UNC's defense: "You got to go right straight at them."

The hand signals allow him to call more things, they're like sign language - Bob Griese

"And that sets the play to doom." Steve Martin.

"Decker shaken up as he got hammered." - Dave Pasch

"Take that ball, run, eat it, take the loss, live to fight another down." Doug Chapman talking about Terrell Pryor on Ohio State-Toledo.

"Big players make big plays in big games."-Spielman

Thanks, Chris.

Kenny Jackson on the Penn State-Temple game is interviewing players wearing famous numbers, and the guy doesn't know who played who.

"A lot of things were going on after that ball went in the endzone, er, out of bounds, and Carolina, er, North Carolina is going to get penalized." - Ray Bentley

They were interviewing Kansas coach Bill Self on the Versus feed, with Ron Thulin.

"I haven't taken a snap in 30 years, but that snap was disaster." Doc Walker

"He's pulling out too soon." Rick Walker

Why is ESPN so obsessed with showing Jahvid Best's mother?

"It takes a posse to bring him down" - Doc Walker on trying to tackle Clemson RB CJ Spiller

"The team only seems to do well after the other team scores a touchdown." - Pam Ward

Doc Walker, again: "Coach Brooks, the DL coach for Clemson, put some pepper in the grits of that defensive line."

"they must have put some pepper in their grits theyre brining it"

"theyre going after it like a pack of wild animals" - Doc Walker on Clemsons DL play

"You sure it's only a couple of games you're watching, you got 30 televisions there." - Dave Pasch to Rece Davis

"He thinks he's in the Metrodome right now." - Dave Pasch on a Minnesota player who got completely whalloped while fielding a punt.

"clemson can get cute, but between the tackles theyre getting jiggy with it just bulldozing" - Doc Walker on Clemsons OL

"I think that Mike Riley has done a really good job." - Lou Holtz talking about Cal QB Kevin< Riley.

@JFein, did you hear Reece correct Dr. Lou real quickly after he said that?

Charles Davis: "Michigan might want to put a foot on Eastern Michigan's throat in the 2nd half."

@ 49er16: Yes. And then Lou quickly repeated the correction. Too funny.

"If anybody should throw a Hail Mary, it should be BC. Theyve had a little success with it" - Doc Walker at the end of first half, winner of dated reference award

About two hours to Grandpa Verne and Crazy Uncle Gary.

I wonder which QB's mom Danielson will make innappropriate comments about this year

"Kevin Riley just got off the phone with Spielman, who said 'hand it off to Best'." - Dave Pasch

"You're going to see a hole open up." - Chris Spielman

"That ball should not have been thrown. Everybody was coming." - Bob Griese

That's definitley a good reason to not throw the ball....

The not ready for Big Time Network announcer(Ari Wolfe) after Penn State kicks a field goal extending its lead to 24-6, "Temple extends the lead 24-6"

And we wonder why the BTN is not on most cable outlets...

They're in a lightning delay at the Clemson game. Strangely, living in the same state, 200 miles away, there's nothing going on. Barely a cloud in the sky.

Will Merritt (Clemson analyst): "The assistant coaches are coming out, and this delay is somewhat coming to an end."

"I was impressed by his thickness." - Chris Speilman, Cal-Minn

Hate to do this to you Kenny.

Kenny Jackson: "The game hasn't changed that much."

Not even 1 minute later: "The game has changed, the game has evolved."

"He got most of those yardage in the first half." - Bob Griese, not an English major.

Pete Yanity, Clemson PBP: "They got to run that clock and put the hay in that garage."

"Don't mistake these Ducks as decoys."-Ron Franklin

Oh boy. We're stuck watching that ugly Clemson game till the end, while Tennessee-Florida is relegated to online and radio here in Charleston.

" My Hair Looks good" Sean Farnham

Another lightning delay in the Clemson game.

Stupid lightning! I want to watch Florida!!!

In Charleston, they cut to the Florida game to show during the delay.

Gators took the opening drive of the game down the field for a FG. 3-0 Gators.

Okay sweet....it's on now.

"He bangs inside the 20." - Verne Lundquist, who put a very awkward emphasis on bangs.

And to those stuck watching lightning, the Vols are driving inside the redzone.

"So if you have to land that water plane on land how do you do it?" Terry Gannon
"It has wheels on it" David Norrie

"You think about when he was running the show with the Cougars" Terry Gannon

"The opened up huge holes" Terry Gannon

"they are going to have to rely on sloppy ball handling by USC" David Norrie

"Husky fans looking for a little purple haze" Terry Gannon

"Its like Van Halen opening up for the Jonas Brothers" David Norrie

Hahahaha what was that about BSPN?

"Back to Eugene Washington" - Ron Franklin


And the geniuses at the ABC Philadelphia station decided that USC-Wash was a better game than NEB-VT

"2nd down is the NFL play action down. We'll see if Oakland counts as the NFL." - Gary Danielson

(on a UT field goal)

"The extra point from 20 yards out...and Tennessee gets three." - Verne Lundquist

*note: he did correct himself...you know, eventually.

"If I was unsure as a replay official, I'd go with the call on the field." - Danielson, thank you Capt Obvious thats supposed to happen

They went back from the Florida game back to Clemson on our station here in Charleston.

They cut-in during the middle of a commercial (missed a Clemson FG), and haven't come back.

"Tebow was almost be headed."- Verne

I think the nation would like to see that.

"Here they come....and they will go." - Verne Lundquist

"You got a boat ready for us" Norrie
"Of course I do" Gannon

"This is not a good interchange...we go from Tracy Wolfson to Tim Brando. America is the loser." -Verne Lundquist

"You are something special Verne" - Brando in response

"Of the Matthews clan,just like everybody else he's gonna be good" - Ron Franklin on Oregon LB Casey Matthews

Craig James about Dancing with the Stars (AZ-IOWA): "I just crack up when I see former athletes on there. I love it."

Mike Patrick: "If you were on it would we laugh or go oh my golly, this guy can dance?"

Craig: "We would say that this dude has a little shake and bake to him. He can do it."

" I am going to follow Sam when I get home I am a big tweeter". Sean Farnham talking about FCS sideline reporter Samatha Steele.

From Thursday night: Chris Fowler on opening: "They (Miami) barbequed Florida State in the opener."

Citadel play-by-play guy, Darren Goldwater: "The Citadel players and coaches are getting half a suntan on this 65 degree day."

(ND in the I-Formation)--> "Notre Dame comes out in the Wildcat formation." -Tom Hammond

David Norrie was talking about Jimmy Hendrix opening up for The Monkeys, when their trivia question was asking about Jimmy Hendrix playing in Seattle not the UT-FL game.

I'm listening to the Princeton game, and the student section is chanting "Ole!" "Ole!" "Ole!" through the 4th quarter, as they're losing 24-7.

The first down option play was defensed beautifully by the Tennessee defense. - Gary Danielson

Holy crap I think Washington can win this game.


/Kiss of death

Isnt it a little early for USC to lose to a PAC-10 team they should handilt beat ?

Who am I kidding ? My Twerps barely beat James Madison, and have a one point lead on Middle Tennessee

"That's a frustration penalty."-Dave Lapham

"He split the wickets on that throw" David Norrie

Two quotes from Farnham
1 " Colorado Cowboys".
2. " Is that the concussion talking? Or Hawkins Talking?"

"Listen to this crowd." - Terry Gannon as music starts playing in the background.

"I dont see many receivers coming out of high school...the lunch line with the receiving ability of Johnson" David Norrie

Some classic head scratchers from Pam Ward during UNC vs. ECU:

"He hurt his ankle in the first week of the game."

"...completes a little pass."

"You take the 18 yard punt over the blocked punt...not much better."

"Meanwhile ECU is trying to score an offensive point for the 1st time this season." -late in the 4th. quarter after ECU had already scored 2 touchdowns on offense in the game.

"A 6-4-3 double play."- Terry Gannon, talking about a deflected pass.

"This isn't football, this is lawn ball." - David Norrie on Jake Locker recovering a snap that bounced off the turf in front of him.

" You meet girls on Myspace to Yogi Roth" Samantha Steele.

I'm pretty sure Danielson said Tennessee's running back runs with "great body LEAN", not "bodyling." makes a bit more sense that way.

"Corner backs hate it when receivers go down low on them" color commentator for MD/MTS game on ESPN360

Bob Picozzi (FIU-Rutgers)- "There have been Hollywood marriages that haven't lasted as long as the last few minutes of this half."

What a win for Washington, biggest upset of the year so far.

"It's the beginning of what is going to be a big night of partying" John Saunders

Tommy Suggs (South Carolina announcer): "2001 will be here right in a minute."

That was a bing, bang, bong play - Gary Danielson

(followed by Verne Lundquist saying)
That sounds more like a late night activity

Andy Demetra (PBP announcer for SC-FAU game): "The sun is soon to set under a satin sky."

@timothy

Verne said something like "that sounds like what'll happen on campus later"

How do you recruit a quarterback out of high school?
--Lou Holtz

Quick, someone post another comment referring to 'coming' or a possible penis reference. Those never get old!

"He (Kiffin) may not get to sing Rocky Top, how about R-E-S-P-E-C-T ? for his team ? " - Danielson at the end of UF / UT

"And I'll have less football to watch" - Glen Parker

After a promo for VS hockey coverage, during FSU / BYU

HAHAHAHA!!! Epic fail by the Maryland Terrapins!

Nate Newton's son plays for Texas? Well, we know who provides the weed for the Longhorns.

"His name might be Childs, but that was a man catch." - Brad Nessler

@SSR

Be nice I'm having a great start to the football season between the Twerps and the Deadskins.

Is it hockey season yet ? Oh wait the Capitals will just lose another rigged series to St Cindy of the Confluence (Crosby)

Time for DC sports to experience the pain we went through in Seattle.

@jgreul: How 'bout those Nats? Sorry to throw a little more gas on that fire.

Hahaha what pain you went through in Seattle? Having Steve Largent retire???

@Mal

Havent followed baseball in at least 10 yrs. And I was an Orioles fan when I did. No Nats, moved out of area before they came along

And if you're a true O's fan, you don't just "become" a Nats fan.

"Some(fans) decided to stay at their own risk. Those ones right there."

-Mark Jones

Tech players looking to "find grass"? Look in the opposing backfield for your supplier.

"We saw lighting strikes about an hour ago Bob, well lighting just struck again."-Mark Jones, after a West Virginia touchdown.

Holy Queer Eye, Bat Man. What is Herbstreit wearing!!!!!

Can Jordan Shipley free style like Herbie?

"Out of nowhere, he comes right up into the hole." - Todd Blackledge

"He was streaking along the sideline....and Cox threw it to the sideline." - Brad Nessler trying to explain an incomplete pass.

@ AA...how about all of 2008? Winless football team. 4-12 Seahawks. 101 loss Mariners. U-Dub missed the NCAA tournament.


2009? We rock.



BTW 49er16....McFedries got submitted in round 2 by Drwal via rear naked choke. He finally goes past round 1 and he absolutely gasses.


You can catch the other fight on Spike.

On a booth review

"If I was them, I would go with the call on the field, unless it was clear that the call was wrong."

"The Hogs were bringing everyone from the pasture all the way onto the field." - Brad Nessler after Arkansas brought the blitz and sacked Joe Cox.

Blackledge: "The tackle explodes when he comes to Joe Cox".

"They brought everyone from the pasture on that one."-Brad Nessler

"Here's a 4th down and 6 for the Merry Pirate"

--Brent, in reference to Mike Leach

Earlier today from Gannon...

"The season is on the line here for USC."

"I wish I could have taken the bone home for my dog."-Blackledge

He was talking about the steak he ate for his Taste of the Town segment.

Ye be walkin' the plank for that, Musburger...arrrrr...

Getting in the spirit of the Talk Like a Pirate Day.

And I got Soutrhern California-Washington instead of Nebraska-Virginia Tech. And Gannon-Norrie is ten times worse than The Randomness That Is Mike Patrick, even though my verification word is "BLISS" it was not

"Aspeaking of errant, let's go to Erin!" - Brad Nessler

"He's got an eye patch, I'm sorry, an ice pack, over his forehead." - Erin Andrews

Fitting that it's National Talk Like A Pirate Day.....

Zachary stepped out of bounds at the 81 yard line.

Captain Three Sheets To The Wind promoting ESPN's College Gameday Final: "Hard to believe Dr. Lou [Holtz] stays up after midnight..."

And he still hangs around with Jack Daniels and Captain Morgan.

And of course, M-m-m-m-m-mookie, there wasn't a Seattle Sounders FC on the pitch in 2008 in MLS...

"They say that revenge is a dish best served cold. Well this one has been served cold and wet." - Mark Jones, making an allusion to the weather and the 1-hour delay it had cause of the downpour of rain.

"Let him get behind his legs." - Petros Papadakis

Two comments from the game on CBS College Sports, which is actually a Mountain Network broadcast that they're simulcasting. It's my first time seeing that network and if it wasn't for the dodgy camerawork and the fact that their graphics never list the down and distance, it isn't half-bad for a lower-level broadcast.

Anyway, the first comment came from one of the announcers after a Hawaii player got flagged for taunting. He said, "I guess he's not following the 'ohana' spirit" then elaborated to say that 'ohana' is a Hawaiian term meaning "family".

Then, just a few minutes ago, after a UNLV running back absorbed a hit and stayed in bounds for a few extra yards to get a first down, one of them said, "... that's because he's got power... (he paused for a moment) below the waist."

From the Helmet Stickers segment of College Football Final:

Lou Holtz: "Mine goes to Jahvid Best, the running back from ... (1.5 seconds of silence). Tremendous job today, 131 yards, 5 touchdowns as Oregon beats Minnesota."
