I agree that fans should give the CW time to “work out the kinks” in their broadcasts, and I try to avoid criticizing my fellow announcers, but they did have a couple of real clunkers.
Having done play-by-play myself, I can readily attest to the degree of difficulty in calling a game between...
My paternal grandmother taught clerical skills to female students at TCU during its first few years in FW.
She and Grandpa lived in Poly, and my Dad claimed the streetcar only ran to the bottom of that massive hill on University Drive, so Grandma was forced to hike up that hill on foot...
I recall Abe Martin saying that as good a RB as Jim Swink was, coach thought he was an even better DB.

I got the same impression of him that evening at the Coach of the Year gala.
The thing I found the most irritating was when he was introduced as a nominee, the video featured Alabama highlights - despite the fact he had not yet coached even one down in Tuscaloosa.
He was being nominated for...
I MC’d a portion of the Coach of the Year Awards banquet in Houston, the year Fran was nominated.
He refused to attend the event unless they agreed to introduce him as, “the Head Coach of Alabama.”
Since I was working as one of the hosts, I knew I would have backstage access, so I wore my TCU...
Barbara Billingsley was more than just “June” Cleaver.
She played a supporting role in the early 50s cult classic, “Invaders From Mars,” but her role in “Leave It To Beaver” reduced her to type-casting as a stay-at-home mom who wore dresses, pearls and high heels, while doing housework.
Her...
Man cheats on his wife with “the other woman.”
Man divorces wife to marry “the other woman.”
Should the new wife be shocked when her new husband cheats on her, too?
Why are the Aggies so shocked?
Then again, they ARE Aggies, aren’t they?

Only at a pretentious institution like UT could a baseball coach get canned after winning the Big XII title three times, and go the CWS three times in EIGHT years.
Who in their right mind wants a job that comes with those kinds of delusional expectations?
Go Frogs!
