  144. 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."

    ReplyDelete
