Harris: "Happy Holidays from the 2008 Motor Bowl."
ESPN2 had the World's Strongest Man marathon yesterday, but every time Todd Harris does PbP, I half expect Magnus ver Magnusson to throw a keg over a wall.
ray bentley said "the nose tackle came in un-,un-,unmolested" GROSS!
Harris: "(CMU's) got an A-B and a B-A, and they're pretty talented at the W-R."
you slacking awful...no NBA post....
Harris: "Lefevour's using the Ray Bentley Rule: If it works once, it works twice, and continue going to the well."
AA, you left out the O/U on "Ray Bentley went to CMU references," which should be about 29.
Harris: "The final sco...the halftime score is tied at 10. We've got another half to go in the Motor City Bowl."
this game is getting boring can Magnusson throw a keg my way
"If you're a linebacker who knows how to hit, you never forget it. If I could run again, I could still do it." - Ray Bentley
Am I the only one who doesn't like it when former players call their school's games? Honestly, Ray shouldn't be there as a CMU alum.
RichRod!!
Harris, as they're saying goodbye to RichRod: "Maybe you'll be playing in a bigger bowl next year, say the one in Pasadena?"
Get past Western and Eastern Michigan next year, maybe get seven (or more) wins, then talk. At least Toledo isn't on the schedule next year...
/end rant
"Charles Pierre keeps his feet moving. That's just stomping grapes there. A nice vintage." - Ray Bentley, as the FAU RB drags tacklers with him.
"The Big Fist of the Brown Bomber" Todd Harris
"No big thng with a chicken wing on a string" ... coincidence that a person of color made the catch?
OMG, a minute ago, Todd Harris said, after a player loses his helmet (as verbatim as I can remember) :
"That's what I love to see. (that player) loses his helmet, and he's like, 'Ain't no thang but a chicken wing on a string!'"
Yes, Todd Harris used urban terms from the early 90's! You couldn't be more white if you tried.
After the CMU TD & 2-point conversion:
Harris: "That's Part 1 of the Ray Bentley Miracle."
Was Hawk Harrelson around? I think he could've been less partial.
Fire Todd Harris.
Ray Bentley was urging Florida Atlantic's quarterback to "take a knee" with more than two minutes left and Central Michigan still in possession of a timeout. Bentley's strategy would have left FAU with fourth down and the better part of a minute left to play. Bentley doesn't seem to realize that in college ball, if you make a first down the whole 40 seconds does NOT run off the game clock, because of the ridiculous rule which causes the clock to be stopped after a first down.
I think the "he came in unmolested" line knocked Pasch out of the top spot.
Good lord, that was an evening of awful announcing. Harris and Bentley should never be allowed to do another football game together again. Most of all, Ray Bentley should never do a CMU game again. I've heard local radio announcers be more fair and impartial than Bentley was tonight.
I agree with Bazooka Jones. As of now, my vote goes to "He came in un..molested." Saying untouched apparently never crossed his mind.
Are you kidding me? Harris is so much better than Pam Ward and I actually like WSM- who doesn't? Im glad to see Harris doing play by play, he certainly is NOT going to be back at the Rose Bowl anytime soon with the network mandate to put more dumb hot women down there!
Harris is Like the Obama of play by play announcer- when need change!
Harris is awful. Here's his call of a touchdown pass from this game:
"And that ball is touchdown!!!!"
WTF, No Pammy with Ray-Ray
