Some of the verbal gems they've thrown down tonight:
- "glad to have all the TCU fans watching back in DALLAS"...
- commenting on the former BYU quarterback from 1977 who had a season-ending injury early in that year - "He threw for 11 touchdowns in the first four games...he was on his way to winning the Heisman....He was certain to win the Heisman..." Yeah, b/c we've never seen anyone flame out down the stretch of a long season -- the confidence in that statement was striking.
- commenting on the former BYU pitcher who still pitches batting practice at 75 yrs old...."He was clocked at 75 mph on the radar gun....you hear people talk about shooting their age in golf, well how about being able to THROW your age!". I'm 39...I'm pretty sure I can throw my age, and I haven't played organized ball for over 20 years.
I've had to stop and rewind to re-listen to so many of these verbal treats, I'm about 5 minutes behind the live broadcast. Greatness!
Did anyone see the BYU reporter asking questions on the BYU campus about baseball? Who is BYU's head baseball coach? What does a pinch hitter do? How many possitions are there? None of the BYU students knew the answers.
