Print...that that Fox intro for the Fiesta Bowl was possibly the most annoying thing I've EVER seen. Yeah, let's have a bunch of Texas and Ohio State guys say the same thing and edit it to where they're doing it right after another! "Tradition!Tradition!Tradition!Tradition!" "BigTen!BigTen!BigTen!BigTen!" "Tonight!Tonight!Tonight!Tonight!" "OurTime!OurTime!OurTime!OurTime!" "No!No!No!OURtime!OURtime!OURtime!OURtime!" "LastChance!LastChance!LastChance!LastChance!"
And not only that, let's have it run for like two straight minutes until casual viewers' ears start bleeding. Yeah! That's the ticket! Sweet merciful crap...

SON OF A BITCH!
I had to say something, and now I find out Matt Vasvirgin is doing the game. You guys don’t know how lucky you are that he didn’t do baseball on TV for your local team for the last 3 or 4 years. This guy is a real assclown to listen to.
Vasgersian
I thought he moved over to MLB Network. Regardless, he lost all credibility when he was the announcer for the XFL back in 2001. I kinda thought he’d be announcing monster truck rallies by now THIS SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!

I read over at awfulannouncing
that this is his last non-MLB Network commitment.

this is what happens
when a network is responsible for the presentation of a sport it is not familiar with. you get subpar announcers and ridiculous intros. This is why Notre Dame gets pat hayden and that other douche as the announcers. They do all sports for NBC. horse racing and such
I agree...
…Fox does about four national games a year, so not only are they awful in their presentation, but their announcers are just not ready for prime-time…I’m not a huge fan of the Worldwide Leader for many reasons, but at least a few of their announcing teams are good…at least, you know, 20% or so…

…Texas’ argument that it should have been in the NCG is fading, and fast.

Full disclosure,
My dad was in the Best Damn Band In The Land at tOSU, and I grew up in Houston hating Texas U.
It’s been a tough couple of years for Buckeye fans. And Texas might run away with this second half.
But I have to say, the Buckeyes actually showed up to play at a big game. It’s easy to forget that Tressel is 4-2 in BCS games.
they've been bitching
over at awful announcing about all the band shots. But I’m glad they’re showing the bands at halftime, it sure beats the hell out of some has been or never was doing a crappy halftime show that makes me change the channel or mute the TV.
Beats the hell out of Switzer/Johnson/George yapping about God-knows-what.

Great story
here on the shortsightedness of game-day music planning by the Miami Dolphins.
Say hello to my little friend, Ray Lewis.
Oklahoma learned their disrespect motto from the Ravens D
I swear about five times a season one of the Ravens players starts bitching about how they get no respect and how people continue to doubt them.
Also that story is awesome, silly Dolphins.
Let the Blaine Gabbert era begin.
WHAT?!?!?
DID YOU SAY DISRESPECT?!?!?

That Texas receiver is 26 years old
Either he failed a couple years of high school and then got redshirted… or he is Mormon and went on a 2 year mission trip. Something tells me it’s not the second.
He was a minor league baseball player for four years or so.

turns out that Ohio State and the Big 10 are still clueless to this hurry up stuff.

It's shameful how obvious
the other guy announcing (not Vasgerian) is rooting for Ohio State. When Pryor put that one on the ground, he was quoted as saying “uh oh!”

Maybe I'm rooting more for OSU to lose than for Texas to win
But, the rules of the game state that if Texas wins, Ohio State loses…so go Texas.

Alright HERE'S THE BIG QUESTION:
Both Mizzou and Texas were huge favorites over Big 10 opponents.
Both Mizzou and Texas struggled big time, but (at least it should be) won.
Will Texas get bashed the same way Mizzou did?

And his better half, Brandine
I love Wikipedia -
Cletus seems to be the father of a large number of children, 44 to be exact. When he presents Marge with 300 coupons for free pretzels from her pretzel business, he calls out to Tiffany, Heather, Cody, Dylan, Dermot, Jordan, Taylor, Brittany, Wesley, Rumer, Scout, Cassidy, Zoe, Chloe, Max, Hunter, Kendall, Caitlin, Noah, Sasha, Morgan, Kyra, Ian, Lauren, Qbert, and Phil. Cletus and Brandine also have a daughter named Condoleezza Marie, who was somehow switched with a bag of sugar that Homer was carrying as part of a parenting exercise, and a daughter named Rubella Scabies, whose middle name was inspired by a word spelled by Lisa in her audition for the annual spelling bee. They have another daughter, Gummy Sue, introduced in “Helter Shelter”. In the episode “Lost Our Lisa”, Lisa encounters Cletus gathering up roadkill for a hillbilly wedding feast. In the short dialogue that ensues, Brandine is implied to be giving birth to a new child in the truck’s cab. In The Simpsons Game another child also features under the name of Carl Durant, the long lost son of Cletus and Brandine who was put up for adoption at birth. He shares similar personality traits as Cletus, such as a difficulty in communicating with other characters, as well as a markable similarity in appearance.
