“Did a nice job and really BANGED it!”- Mike Patrick
I never want to hear Mike Patrick use that word like that ever again.
“He actually ran the stairs with TJ Duckett a great NFL player.”- Holly Rowe
Really?
“And Michigan leads Boston College, 7-0.”- Mike Patrick (Via Rick James Bible Owner)
During the ESPN Bowl Rundown, the first words from Lou Holtz concerning the Champs Bowl- ‘It’s 80 degrees and not a breath of fresh air.” (Via Gibbon Jockey)
I’m really upset that Lou isn’t doing a pep talk for any of these games. That’s a travesty.
“Collander on the carry.”- Mike Patrick
It’s CALendar…..like well a CALendar.
“The offensive line for BC was just over on the sideline after that last punt getting absolutely hammered…(too long of a pause)…by the BC coaching staff.”- Holly Rowe (Via Time For 11)
How many Holly Rowe reports are they going to do in the first half? I think were at 6 now….the last one even included a Brett Favre impression.
“The blow was delivered a little lower.”- Mike Patrick
“You mentioned both those picks that Ryan threw. Both coming from Jamie Silva.”- Rece Davis
Unless MSU and BC made a trade that’s physically impossible Rece.
“They came from ahead to lose.”- Brad Sham
“He had it on the tip.”- Mike Patrick
“You have an I-Pod and an I-Phone?”- Todd Blackledge
“Anything with an I in it I have it. If they come out with an I-Car I’m buying it.”- Mike Patrick
“Do you have Britney Spears on that I-Pod?”- Todd Blackledge
“No………….although I hear she might be renting out that double wide to a family member.”- Mike Patrick
WINNER! Video in 15.
“A Quarterback has to keep his hands in and ride that center.”- Todd Blackledge (Via Gibbon Jockey)
“I like the chunky kickers we have in this game.” – Mike Mayock (Via alienaub)
“Now you know why his teammates call him ‘Sweet Pea’.” – Charles Davis
“He’s got a couple of nicknames. Donny Avery called him a white Michael Vick.” – Mike Mayock
“I think Sweet Pea is a little safer.” – Brad Sham
(Via alienaub)
Are you serious??? The production one had to be cringing at that one.
“He smelled sack and he got sack”- Chris Spielman (Via Fairplay)
“You noticed something between the two teams Chris. What a dichotomy, if you know what that means, between the two teams.”- Rob Stone to Chris Spielman
