Not a quote per se, but the GameDay crew and Mark Cuban talking over the "Star Spangled Banner" as they're making their prediction on UT-OU.

"Dumped by a handfull of Badgers."-Dave Pasch

And a last thing, everyone calls it the "it" factor, Bradford makes plays and is always the catalyst in this Texas Offense - Kirk Herbstreit

Wow....Bradford out again.

"The tight end did an outstanding job in the hole." - Brent Musburger

Texas keeps gifting OU with dumb penalties.

"They are just dialed in on #8, Jeremy Shockely, er, Jordan Shipley." - Kirk Herbstreit

"#8 Jeremy Shockley...Jordan Shipley."

Herbie channeling his inner Pam.

He combined two random players to make a non-existent one.

Only 8 comments early so far, I guess everybody is behaving in the early games. BTW I apoligize if this is off topic somewhat but over at the506.com we are starting the Ron Pitts Chronicles as a spinoff for the Pam Ward Chronicles on NFL games.

"Let's change the name of this game to the Red River Fistfight." - Brent Musburger

"Herbie, let's call this the Red River Fistfight."-Brent

God, McCoy is looking horrible today.

Has Brent mentioned who he has money on since he gambles on the games he is assigned to?

That's cool Jason...be sure to send me the link.

What an idiotic play on that return!

Oh wow....Oklahoma just got lucky as hell.

That was stupid. He should've let that punt go out of bounds.

Or not....great knowledge there by Brent.

" Nagurski that is a great word for a linebacker". Brent Musberger.

God Delaware State is losing big at half 49-3 to Michigan.

"This is a rock 'em sock 'em fistfight between these two teams." - Brent Musburger

I vote we drink whenever Brent mentions the Nagurski award or how this game is a "fistfight".

This RRS is just sloppy, miserable football.

Texas are just hanging themselves with these missed opportunities!

FALL ON THE BALL!!

This has been some amazingly bad football today.

This game sure is a shoot out.

Speaking of bizarre, tell me this isn't the craziest game-winning goal ever. I have no idea how this was allowed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSOorkAqSqw

This is clearly the day where we hand the SEC the national championship.

Texas would get manhandled by Florida or Alabama.

" Jimmie Johnson taking over the chess lead" Brent Musberger is NASCAR now Chess Brent?

"If he fair-catches it, he's right at mid-field." - Kirk Herbstreit not realizing that Shipley dropped the ball on his own so whether or not a fair catche was called would have been irrelevent in that situation.

Clemson announcer Pete Yanity: "Clemson goes back up by 17 points, 24-3." It's 21 points.

Yanity: "Clipping is a 70's penalty."

Don't think for a second that I'm not buying DJ Hero (double negatives rule!)

"Boilermakers up 9-4." - John Saunders, except Purdue was up 9-7.

Wish me the best guys. There is a big storm in my area (remnants of a tropical storm) and there will be thunderstorms, heavy rain and gusty winds and even the possibility of funnel clouds.

I love Seattle weather!

Ride it out....riiiiide it out.

Stay safe SS. I am thankful I dont live in the Northwest because it rains too damn much.

Wow...Brent's shirt and tie combo is blinding in HD

It's a good game between Middle Tennessee and Missisippi State, with Middle at home. MSU is up 17 to 6.

"The game has turned green!" - Pam Ward after Michigan St. recovered a Northwestern fumble on a kickoff after MSU had just gone up by 10.

Who dressed Brent today?


Thanks Jason. It's actually been sunny the last few weeks but fall is in the air and next week we're supposed to get more messed up heavy rains.

Epic fail Ohio State. 23-7.


Only Iowa wants to win the Big Ten, and that just doesn't feel right.

God the Big Ten is awful, Ohio State if they lose have eliminated themselves from Rose Bowl contention.

Steve Martin- "Throws against the grain to Spiller."

" Every now and again you get a rascal on the other side" Brent Musberger.

CJ Spiller is ridiculous. Every game he has a great TD run or kickoff or punt return.

OU Texas= yawn fest.

Why is Michigan playing Delaware State?

@ SSR: To echo Jason's sentiments, stay safe!

At this point it looks like Iowa might be the best team in the Big 10.

/Not saying much

Delaware State actually forfeited a conference game against NC A&T, so they could get extra money to play Michigan.

"This is the Wild Horn" Brent Musberger

Essentialy Michigan playing Delaware State is a exhibition game for Penn State next week.

@Jason: the Wake-Clemson game is getting pre-empted in G'ville for the snoozefest in Dallas (Raycom station here is also the ABC affiliate)

Michigan tried to get an FCS team to play them, but they wanted a home and home. Then they went to the MAC, and got the same request. D-State was the only team that would play them for straight cash homey.

TD Texas.

I've been in worse weather. The Hanukkah Eve Storm (I swear that was the winning entry) of December 2006 was unequivocally the worst storm I've ever been in.

I went to school that day and the winds were starting to pick up and by evening when I watched the 49ers/Seahawks game with huge lightning strikes not too far from my home and winds near 90 MPH.

With all of that we did not get a power outage in our area but the folks one block from us did.


Classes were canceled the next day because so many trees toppled over.


I'd rather the power had gone out that night the Seahawks game was on because we lost. :(

Pam Ward- "It goes to the middle, and it is not completed."

Has no one seen this post from TSH? Too funny. Gustavo Johnson!!

http://thesportshernia.typepad.com/blog/2009/10/gustavo-johnson-calls-honduras-soccer-game.html

@ Mr. Roof Broom Alot of ABC Affiliates are getting pre empted for their games in the SEC Big East and ACC. Where I live Reno we dont have that problem.

"On the second series of the day, he only played two series," Brent Musberger

Eddie Robinson Jr. on SC State-Florida A&M: "You're from Syracuse, and they have a great college hockey legacy, you know."

Syracuse doesn't have a team.

@ SSR: That's hilarious!!!!! How did Gustavo not end up in the same hospital room Gus did after the Stokley catch.

TD OU.

I dunno but when a goal from another team means you're going to the World Cup you deserve to lose it.

Great tackling, Texas.

" A Short Kick Up" Brent Musberger.

Rece Davis: "This Texas-Oklahoma game is going longer than the Jerry Lewis telethon."

Right you are, Joe.

/MXC'd.

Ohio State is trying to come back.

and they have the ball at their own 39 with five minutes left.

Wayne Laravee: "A lot of snow at Penn State."

Chris Martin: "Does this mean there'll be a white out?"

First gameplay vid of NCC Basketball 10 with CBS commentary vid of GuJo and Raftery. Make GuJo say more!!!!

Blech this football game is opening up a little and it still sucks.

Wow....facemask by OSU on a 3rd and 9 stop, and that'll do it.

"Do you think Usain Bolt can catch the ball?" Musberger

Say it with me:

"JIM TRESSEL SUCKS!!!!"

Holtz (when asked if ND could beat USC): ND beat Washington, Washington beat USC. ND beat Purdue. Purdue beat Ohio State, who should have beaten USC...

This comment doesn't really do it justice...you had to have heard it to really appreciate it...Holtz wearing the shamrock-shaped eyeglasses there...

Well, the Buckeyes just dropped a turd. It's an odd world we live in when Iowa controls their own destiny in the Big 10.

It's official. Purdue has beaten Ohio State.

"Injured Bradford trying to bring some sideline leadership out there," Musberger

Its penalty apalooza for the OU Texas game.

Well all Texas needs to do is get a TD and it is over.

OU's defense is getting tired. Texas just might win the game with a score here.

Whoops! Never mind.

Not so fast my friend! Crucial pick by McCoy...

Not so fast my friend.

JFein (in response to your video) the Cardinals are not a good football team. They should be 1-3 and not 2-2 if Gary Kubiak had any critical thinking skills.

They have the worst pass defense in the league and Hasselbeck has Housh, Burleson, and John Carlson as targets.

Arizona is strictly one dimensional and all Seattle needs to do is destroy Kurt Warner. He's a sitting duck and that shouldn't be so hard to do.


I expect a fun game though. Close but Seattle wins.



You just picked yourself out of the 1st round, McCoy.

Mack Brown confuses me. That was a perfect time for a QB draw.

Here's an idea, Stoops: how about you try something other than 3-yard screen passes? Then maybe you won't have to go for it on 4th all the time.

Words cannot describe how bad this game is.

...threw it right to the defender...

Neither team wants to win this game.

Anybody say OU 6-6 for the season.

"There are so many weapons. Not the type of weapons as last year, but so many guys you can feed the ball too." - Gary Danielson

Caleb Sturgis misses a FG for Florida.

I think the stench from the RRS has permeated to the kicking game of Florida. Sturgis missed BADLY...

Game over at Dallas, Texas escapes.

Oklahoma has no time outs.

So the Longhorns survive what is probably one of the sloppiest, uninspired "big games" I've seen in a long time.

" South Carolina , I meant Southern California" Matt Stinchomb.

"When your 6-5 you have a big ole strikezone" Pat Haden

USC is going to win this game by 30 and Lou Holtz is going to cry on TV.

"That kid {long pause} That is a fast {long pause} That guy can GO!"

-Matt Millen

Riley Cooper just dropped a sure TD for Florida. Sloppy play all around today...

"I thought he could have thrown it higher, but he could not have thrown it any better." - Gary Danielson talking about Tebow throwing a deep pass that was dropped by a Florida WR.

"And it's a touchdown! No, it's out of bounds! - Verne Lundquist
"Actually they're going to call a hold on it." - Gary Danielson

" Great Job Yester uh Last Week" JC Pearson.

Notre Dame may make this a game after all.

" A lot of people with there protractors out, trying to project" David Norrie

"Yep, that's a juicy one." - Gary Danielson talking about a block.

"Its dialup modem versus high speed internet" Pat Haden (talking about Joe McKnight running against the slow Notre Dame defense).

"It's like dial-up modem versus high-speed Internet." Pat Haden, after McKnight's big run.

Barkley just can't hit the open receivers.

"That's a wildcat from a 250-pound cat." - Gary Danielson

Arkansas's going to need more than 7 points if they want to win this game.

"Pete Carroll with an overactive competitive thyroid," Pat Haden

If anyone hasn't seen this yet, it will entertain you for hours....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzY5i4A1zgA&feature=player_embedded

This USC/ND game is surprisingly competitive.

After an Armed Forces shout-out by Verne Lundquist talking about a certain command post watching this game at some wee hours in the morning.

"Yeah, and they are high tech. They just text me and said 'hold on to the ball'" - Gary Danielson

"A long wait on this review." Tom Hammond.

"Has it gone all the way to the Supreme Court?" Pat Haden.

"Still waiting for the verdict" Tom Hammond
"Is it going to the supreme court?" Haden
talking about it taking a while for the play to be reviewed.

"It doesn't look like a flashy play, but it sets up a clock drive," David Norrie

Sean McDonough on inmates possibly shoveling snow at Penn State:

"That's a case where the state pen comes in to help out Penn State."

Also, not necessarily awful announcing, but there was a guy who had his body painted with "Global Warming?"

"Cunningham penetrated the neutral zone." - Verne Lundquist

"I guess that guy drew the short end of the straws."-Terry Gannon

They were showing a Cal fan body serfing in the crowd at the Rose Bowl.

"It's a roughing the passer"--Haden, when the ref makes an "intentional grounding" signal.

"He went from shortstop to punter" Pat Haden

Haden: "He went from shortstop to punter", after the USC punter fields the snap on a hop (and goes on to boom it 60 yards.)

Is Charlie Weis wearing a ND mumu?

So USC and ND are actually playing competent football. This is a refreshing change of pace from the Red River "Abbott and Costello" game.

He threw it off his back foot, but Hernandez was so wide open he could've thrown that off his back...rear end.--Danielson after a pass from Tebow to Hernandez.

“Kevin Riley is hitting balls in the pocket.”- David Norrie

" Thats Batman weather right there" Matt Stinchomb.

ESPNU with shitty camera work on the catch by Virginia.

" I am no offensive genius" Todd Harris.

Arkansas player gets stripped of the ball at the goal line after running about 50 yards after catching a pass....Verne Lundquist says "Is it an incomplete pass?"

"Is it an incomplete pass?" - Verne Lundquist
"No, no, he ran all the way down there." - Gary Danielson

And by all the way down there, Uncle Gary means he ran 50 yards!!!

I have grown dumber by listening to these 2 discuss the review. They were not sure who had fallen on the ball in the endzone when the only player who had fallen on the ball in the endzone was an Arkansas player.

@JFein: it sounded as if they stopped calling the play when the line judge ruled it touchdown...

Taken right from behind, Nelson was.
--Gary Danielson

Ryan Mallett just showed why he won a Heisman as a sophomore and is the leading candidate to win it again as a senior.
--Gary Danielson

Tracy Wolfson: Coach, the first time your team has been tested this year...
Urban Myer: Well, I don't know what season you've been watching. We've been tested quite a lot.

Haden on Claussen's big hit: "If you're an Irishman, you want to see him hobbling around."

Right, because if there's one thing fans love seeing, it's their star QB getting banged up.

Lots of mistakes, like unnecessary sportsmanship, that really hurt Notre Dame.
--Lou Holtz

" You think Bikini Bottom is shaking right now" Tom Hart
" My bottom is shaking right now" Aaron Taylor.

" Michael Grecko might seem a fish out of water" Tom Hart.

" I sure wish you did that ( Accountability". Aaron Taylor to Tom Hart.

ESPN2 Crew: Now the question, is, do they go for a two point conversion?

--This right after Virginia Tech made it 22-28 with 1:48 remaining. In other words, of COURSE THEY WOULDNT GO FOR TWO HERE YOU MORON.

Brock Huard (UK vs. Auburn): "I like the get off".

Bad hit by Moe Brown during the South Carolina game. He was down for several minutes.

Terry Cousin (SC sideline) talking about Moe Brown's injury: "All his limbs are OK."

For that Anaheim quote, it's the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

@ Joe: It's a quote of what Todd Harris said and Todd Harris said, "Anaheim Angels".

" I was using my hands at the break eating potato chips and a burger" Tom Hart.

Great game between Carolina and Alabama so far.

This was a few hours ago, but i was out. At the end of a 75 yard catch-and-run by Arkansas the ball came loose at the goal line, so the play was reviewed, prompting speculation from the crack broadcast team.

Verne Lundquist: "Is it an incompletion?"

Again, the receiver ran at least 50 yards after the catch.

Not related, but this is hilarious

" I have never seen heaters in 60 degree weather, they should be ashamed of themselves". Aaron Taylor.

A-Rod just hit the biggest home run of his career and Buck offers a bland home run call that seemed like it had been made soggy by the New York weather. Go back and listen to some of your dad's calls, Joe. "In the air to right, back goes Abreau, at the wall..." Isn't exactly "I don't believe what I just saw" or "Go crazy folks, go crazy". If it is possible to over use understatement, Joe Buck does.

I'm guessing no Petros comments because no one watches his games.

During the USC-Oregon State game, whoever was calling the game late in like, maybe the 3rd quarter, said something to the effect of "don't let the woman out of the basement". I swear this happened. Please tell me I'm not the only person who heard this bizarre statement!
