What are these guys drinking this mourning?
" He changed in a phone booth on the sideline" Ray Bentley.

"He hits that one the band's playing" - Walker after UVA drops a TD pass
"UVA needs Mother Nature to be the 12th man." - Walker, maybe UVA shouldnt have kicked a FG trailing by two TDs in 4th, or give up a 10 minute drive in 3rd.
Andre Ware about Dexter McCluster: "If you reach, he will teach."
ReplyDelete"if you saw this game in slow motion you wouldnt let your kids play" - Walker

ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletePam Ward- "Illinois is looking for something. Energy spark. Life."
ReplyDeleteBob Griese apologized for that comment he made about Montoya.
ReplyDeleteIt's a monsoon in Durham.
ReplyDeleteProbably the toughest place to play in the PAC10 for an opposing quarterback (about Husky stadium, shouldn't opposing QB's lose more than they win to be a tough place to play? 0-12 last year... Oregon is notoriously the toughest to lay for an opponent in the Pac10)
ReplyDelete(The headsets at Tennessee-Alabama aren't working):
ReplyDeleteVerne: "Well, I can tell you that the headsets aren't working but the PA system is! I can't stand listening to this song anymore!" (referring to Zombie Nation's "Kernkraft 400", now a common staple at sporting events)
That old Verne doesn't like any music made in the past 50 years, I think.

ReplyDeleteMillen: When you get two of them in there, its twice the result

ReplyDeletePam Ward (2 quotes): "In good old Starkville." "We are in good old West Lafayette."
ReplyDelete"I guess we dont have to worry about Clemson having no timeouts" - after CJ Spiller returns a kickoff for TD with 0:57 left in 2nd quarter
ReplyDeleteCJ Spiller is ridiculous as a kick returner. Every game, he has at least one return it seems like.
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about Nascar, but Mark Martin owns that place. It's Martinsville, not Johnsonville, so I'm going with him. Now how's that for insight? - Matt Millen
ReplyDeleteMartin's won twice there, but that's another dumb statement by Millen about something he doesn't know.
ReplyDeleteClemson and Miami are having a good game.
ReplyDeleteI have found the Chip Caray of college football, and his name is Dave Koehn, the voice of the UVA Cavaliers. He took over for Mac McDonald in 2008, and is even worse than he was last year. Awful, just awful.
ReplyDeleteHow bad is he? Is he annoying?
ReplyDeleteWhat a hit on Michael Palmer in the Clemson game. You'll be seeing that.
ReplyDeleteDave Lamont: "Right down the fairway on that XP."

ReplyDelete"Lincoln, going for the lead."
ReplyDelete:04 left, there's no way that a over 40 yard field goal goes just three seconds.
"Jacory Harris last 2 passes both went into end zone, one rigth, one wrong" - Dave Lamont threw Int returned for TD, thrn pass for TD
ReplyDeleteTodd Ellis (South Carolina radio)- "Shortsleeves kind of crowd in Columbia."
ReplyDelete"Lindsay Soto told us they got the double stack working" - Anthony Herron at Utah / Air Force, after Utah scores TD
ReplyDeletedirectly following Clemson's defeat of Miami (Fl), transitioning to the Alabama game recap. "Miami, not the only top ten team to survive a scare."
ReplyDelete"The faithful here in Provo"- Joe B
ReplyDeleteI dont think he's that clever
"the bulldogs with the first points on the board. Tim Tebow looking to change that."
ReplyDelete"so you wanna be a head coach in the nfl huh jim jorn?"
ReplyDeleteflorida-miss st
whoever is doing color commentary for the UCLA-Arizona game on Fox Sports West
ReplyDelete"Maurice Jones-Drew is all thighs"
The announcers on South Carolina-Vanderbilt are horrible.
ReplyDeleteEric Collins: "Jarvis Giles didn't play last week because he didn't pass no classes."
Bob Griese apologized to Juan Pablo Montoya and NASCAR for his remarks, and plans to do so again at halftime of all the games.
ReplyDeleteIf I was ESPN, Bob is as good as gone pronto!
"This is eventually going to catch up to Missouri. It already has earlier." - Herbstreit
ReplyDelete"A big play for Missippi State." - Lou Holtz mispronouncing Mississippi.
ReplyDeleteESPN just played an apology by Bob Griese about his taco comment during halftime of the Florida-Miss State game.
ReplyDeleteROFL at the griese apology
ReplyDeleteIt's a big deal for him, as nobody liked that joke when he made it.
ReplyDeleteEric Collins (after a Vanderbilt punt)- "Vanderbilt has to give it over on downs."
ReplyDelete"He hit it up in there good that time." - Todd Blackledge
ReplyDeleteEric Collin's voice cracked on the Jeffery touchdown.

ReplyDelete"Florida and Alabama are the top 2 teams, but neither is number 1." Jessie Palmer
ReplyDelete"It was an EPIC seesaw battle in the ACC," Jesse Palmer
ReplyDeleteWhat a finish in East Lansing.
ReplyDelete"How do you make up for a wrong?" - Craig James
ReplyDelete"Uh.." - Mike Patrick
"You put a right in there." - Craig James
"They smacked Cal right in the mustache!" Craig James
ReplyDelete"You gotta get that one out there hard and fast and firm, or not get it off at all." - Craig James
ReplyDeleteVideo of Tacogate
ReplyDeletehttp://nobathroombreaks.com/2009-articles/october/bob-griese-and-taco-comment-video-another-old-announcer-keeping-me-down.html
@Joe- I mean he's like Caray; overeffusive about everything, mistake-ridden in his calls, and full of shit.
ReplyDeleteTalking about Juice Williams the Illinois qb
ReplyDeletePam Ward-Well weve had good juice and bad juice today
Ray B.-now we just need some solid juice
Kirk Herbstreit during Texas' opening drive against Missouri:
ReplyDelete"He just slid in there and got some penetration."
