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

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

    ReplyDelete

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

    ReplyDelete
  7. "#8 Jeremy Shockley...Jordan Shipley."

    Herbie channeling his inner Pam.

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

    ReplyDelete
  9. 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.

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  12. God, McCoy is looking horrible today.

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  15. What an idiotic play on that return!

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

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

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  21. "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".

    ReplyDelete
  22. This RRS is just sloppy, miserable football.

    Texas are just hanging themselves with these missed opportunities!

    FALL ON THE BALL!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. This has been some amazingly bad football today.

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

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

    Texas would get manhandled by Florida or Alabama.

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

    ReplyDelete
  27. "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.

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

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  32. 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!

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  36. "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.

    ReplyDelete
  37. 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.

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

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  42. Why is Michigan playing Delaware State?

    ReplyDelete
  43. @ 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

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

    ReplyDelete
  45. "This is the Wild Horn" Brent Musberger

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

    ReplyDelete
  47. @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)

    ReplyDelete
  48. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  49. 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. :(

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  52. @ 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  54. 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.

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

    TD OU.

    ReplyDelete
  56. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  57. " A Short Kick Up" Brent Musberger.

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

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

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  62. And ESPN.

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


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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  65. Say it with me:

    "JIM TRESSEL SUCKS!!!!"

    ReplyDelete
  66. 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...

    ReplyDelete
  67. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  68. It's official. Purdue has beaten Ohio State.

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

    ReplyDelete
  70. Its penalty apalooza for the OU Texas game.

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  74. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  76. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Words cannot describe how bad this game is.

    ReplyDelete
  78. ...threw it right to the defender...

    ReplyDelete
  79. This comment has been removed by the author.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Neither team wants to win this game.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Anybody say OU 6-6 for the season.

    ReplyDelete
  82. "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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  84. Game over at Dallas, Texas escapes.

    Oklahoma has no time outs.

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

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

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  99. Barkley just can't hit the open receivers.

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

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

    ReplyDelete

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

    ReplyDelete
  105. This USC/ND game is surprisingly competitive.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  110. 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?"

    ReplyDelete
  111. "Cunningham penetrated the neutral zone." - Verne Lundquist

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  115. 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.)

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

    ReplyDelete
  117. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  124. "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.

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  129. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  134. 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  141. Great game between Carolina and Alabama so far.

    ReplyDelete
  142. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  143. Not related, but this is hilarious

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

    ReplyDelete
  145. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  147. 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!
