EXCELLENCE IN ANNOUNCING, FCS EDITION
A bizarre day through and through–like, weird to the core, as weird long as it was weird wide as it was weird deep, just weirdness and drah-mah in all directions. It would be enough to drive even the professionals of the CAA to the limits of their patience. Or: it might even drive them to the limits of their fucking patience.
They weren’t alone in cursing today, but unlike Nick Saban they’re not supposed to rain verbal hellfire from their mouths on air when things go wrong.

Nicely done O! Mediocrity reigned, but your Gators looked good and my Bucks looked better than could have been expected.

What a shitty day. At least we covered the number. But I was at Memorial, and if I live to be 357 years old I never want to see something like I saw happen with Jahvid Best ever again. That was the scariest shit I ever saw in my life. I said 78 Hail Marys and some stuff I made up, and I’m *Baptist*.

O-
We may need/want/be satirically required to start the Pinkle suicide/homocide/genocide watch. Things in Columbia are not pretty. And the football team’s pretty piss poor too. These Mizzou kids are getting mighty touchy after the “success” they had in 07.

Richmond had just crapped their pants missing a short game winning FG to beat Nova and keep their 17-game winning streak alive when this happened. Figured it was some sort of production intern prank. The last time my wife and I looked at each other like this was the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction. You just shake your head, laugh, and move on. You can ask her, but I told her we would be able to see the instant replay on EDSBS tomorrow morning.

…are we to believe the “What a bum” audio was actually broadcast? Sure sounds to me like it’s commentary from someone in the room and not coming through the TV’s speakers.
…anyone else actually catch this last night?

Mich-Placed Gator says:
softbatch, different grits for different moods. this morning, it was just instant grits with nothing else, so I like to sprinkle a little brown sugar on top. Other mornings, when eggs and bacon are involved, I prefer my grits with just a little pat of butter and a little salt and pepper.
…and yes, I did just type “instant grits” …being single and in damn yankee country, instant grits are about all I can find (or have the patience to make myself, unlike the “witness” from My Cousin Vinny)

It was Tulsa. They had no business being behind by that much. I will admit I’ve traded in my midget qb adulation for Todd Reesing and got a brand new shiny Case Keenum set.
@Mich-Placed Gator
Sounded like the room to me too. Any verification because I would think that would draw at least some news from the Philly, Richmond media and I’ve seen no mention.
BTW LSUFreek’s latest work is a masterpiece. Lane Kiffin might be on to something folks.

Hard to say, but I think I recall someone mentioning it in the thread yesterday. If that were the case, I’d have a hard time believing that that person saw the same YouTube video and not the broadcast.

@20
I agree Keenum’s not touching a Heisman – after all this is Conference USA we’re dealing with – but if there was a MVP award in college football Keenum would have that bitch locked down like Terrance Cody sitting on a Florida cheerleader. Where would Houston be without Keenum saving their asses every time?

I was at the UR-Villanova game. What a cock punch. By the way, funny that the guy was whistling Final Countdown. Just a few minutes before, as the song was blaring over the loudspeakers during the timeout immediately preceding the shanked fg that would have won the game, I leaned over to my buddy and asked questioned whether the song is only further psyching out our kicker. I wouldn’t have remembered that little footnote in my burbon induced haze. Thanks youtube!

@ SGJ – 29 – I’d have to agree with you, grits should never be sweet… Salt/pepper/cheese/texas pete/butter/shrimp/bacon/ among other things, but never brown sugar… Brown sugar is a slap in the face to Old South God…

ronald says:
The whistling is so appropriate. He knows his ass is fired, so why not whistle? At that point he could have cockpunched his broadcast partner and started yelling dirty limericks. Also, it’s “The Final Countdown,” metaphoricalsymbolical for “I will lose my job in t-minus three minutes.”

Absolutely, 100% real. I’ve got it on DVR myself. It’s some dumbass in the production truck. As a Sooner fan, I was able to entertain myself with replays of this video for my friends instead of watching the offensive clusterfuck in Lincoln Saturday night. It was the perfect length to allow me to watch an NU punt- watch the Richmond Video- watch an OU punt- Richmond- punt- “Bum”- punt- etc. (throw “interception” in there 5 times at random.)
