Your Third Annual Pam Ward Chronicles
Thursday, September 03, 2009
Yes folks, it's that time of year. Pammy herself won the title last year, with Gary Danielson taking the crown in the first installment, so who will win this year? There's only one way to find out, and that's by spending a way too unhealthy amount of time sitting on your coach on a Saturday, and picking out the funniest/most inane comments from your college football announcers!
This year will run exactly the same as last year, with updates coming throughout the day, and a vote on Monday for the best comment. If anyone wants to put some odds together and/or submit their favorites, please do so in the comments. Here's a look at last year's winners, and some of your favorite quotes from past years.

"Alabama rolling over the Volunteers of Texas 22-3." - Wendi Nix
"These goalposts are unlike any others in all of college football because they have two uprights."- Bob Davie
"All of those orange fans up there. I would say to our players, they wear orange so they can cheer for their team. They'll wear the same orange outfit tomorrow to go hunting. And they'll wear the same orange outfit the last five days of the week in order to pick up trash."- Lou Holtz
"Ya know, Hitler was a great leader too."- Lou Holtz
"Greg Orton came over and they slapped each other... on the palms."- Pam Ward

"The agitated man" Sean McDonough.
Todd Ellis, SC play-by-play announcer: "It's the 2009 lid-lifter."
"This is the Dr. Lou Bowl, because Holtz coached both NC State and South Carolina." Sean McDonough
"To get this offense on track, somebody's got to make something happen, obviously theres no spark on this team and only a player making a play {long awkward pause} can provide it--Bob Davie
Bob Davie-- "Can blueturf cause insomnia, because Oregon is sure sleepwalking"
Ah Bob. insominia and sleepwaking are not the same but opposites.
I think I heard this right... so:
On the screen they had "this team deserves an a**-whoopin"
Mark Davis - "It's pretty easy to fill in the rest. Buy a couple of vowels and you can complete it." (or something very close to this)
Last I knew, s is not a vowel!
Joe Tessitore - "The speedy Johnson, GONE!"
hahahaha get it because Johnson can mean penis and that's funny.
