GUS JOHNSON WORKS FOR CBS. CBS HAS SEC FOOTBALL. HMM...

PrintThe SEC's prize jewels rest in CBS's hands for broadcast, and for the most part they're well-cradled by the competent hands of Uncle Verne and Gary Danielson, who for our money is the best analyst at actually pulling critical elements of a play out and analyzing them in real time. (His field vision, to use a quarterbacking term, is insanely fluid.)
The number two team, however, leaves something to be desired. This is a phrase inserted here by our editors after they determined the original descriptor was too blunt. After all, Craig Bolerjack and Steve Beuerlein probably do not operate under the influence of heavy narcotics during their broadcast, do have a familiarity with football, and are likely not surfing the internet during live broadcasts looking for crush porn. It is also unfair to compare their execution to that of cows put behind the controls of an F-18 in full uncontrolled dive. Again, these are all unfair and cruel things to say, so they have been removed and replaced with gentler words.
We also don't want to suggest replacing them, since they are announcers who need the work and money. But, um...just consider this.

Well that thought gives me an erection.
’Cause crush porn is HAWT.

I assume "crush porn" fits under the category of "trust me, you don't even want to know."

So I googled it
and it appears we might have competing definitions. Presumably, we are talking about the version that made it to the Supreme Court, in which case, you don’t want to know. And if you do, I would make sure that Mittens the Kitten is playing in another room.

Be careful what you wish for.
Because you might get it.
EXCUSE ME!

Even in a small picture, his head just fills the screen. Surely he is the only argument compelling enough for Notre Dame alumni to support joining a conference and giving up the NBC contract.
Nope.
Not even Tom and his lovely lilac and lavender eyeshadow is compelling enough to make me support Integerization.
Drop NBC? Yes, please, immediately, thank you sir.

Gus dropped last night...
“Who you going to call(in ghostbusters theme tune)……Jordan Crawford, ZONEBUSTER!”
he also dropped something about
“Xavier’s popping their collars”
now, i am no expert in the nomenclature of the young, urban, and hip but i am pretty sure that ‘popping the collar’ is over. no? that comment was stuart scott-esque.
i love gus, but the situation needs to be monitored closely and someone might need to speak him about it.
Gus Johnson works CBS NFL games (Third-team)
They, somehow, match the unbridled joy, enthusiasm, and vocal armageddon of Johnson with… the mumble-prone monotone musings of Steve Tasker. It’s like having sex while getting punched in the back after a powerlifting session.

Oh yeah.
He called that Bengals/Broncos game that ended on the tipped ball for a 87-yard TD. He almost tore the press box asunder.

Can't you just hear Gus...
calling Stephen Garcia’s fifth interception?

Mr. MtnEer_in_SC...
Why? Why the unwarranted swat at Garcia? We have been butting heads on here for the past few days… i don’t get it, i like west virginians, i picked WVU to win my Bracket… I’m coming down to the Cooper River Bridge Run this weekend to set it straight… maybe resolve our differences over a cold one… or i might just jump out of the 35,000 strong crowd like a rabid spider monkey… your move, sir…
Sorry, man
I was casting about for something likely to make Gus go to a full-throated roar, and the Garcia Helmet-cam post from Wednesday just popped to mind. I bear no pre-meditated animosity towards USC. Hell, Cocky led line dances at my niece’s wedding. Her husband’s parents are big supporters.
Anyway, enjoy your run across our bridge. I’ll be lying in my bed on the Mount Pleasant side watching it all on TV.

Several of these could apply to SEC fb in the right context. Cocked & loaded for Gus-on-demand come Sept., assuming of course the real thing doesn’t come to fruition.

Oh look, a Facebook group
Hey look, a Facebook group if you want Gus Johnson calling SEC games.

FYI - Gus also works for the Big Ten Network
Chew on that for awhile. Now do you see why the Big Ten rocks?!?!?!
Bet he gets you fired up for a Wisconsin-Purdue tilt

Well, Gus rocks. he makes the Big Ten Network must-see TV when he's on.
And since that’s the case, I hope he doesn’t get his cult leader thing on.
