pamward
As Brian Powell promised yesterday, the Pammies are back. They’re back so hard that you’re going to start seeing Pam Ward’s mug in places you didn’t see it before.
Seeing as it’s Labor Day weekend, a lot of us have guests in town/are going out of town, and I don’t know about you, but I don’t have guests huddle around me on a computer (or I try to keep it to a minimum). Updates will come, but bear with us if they’re not half-hourly. In the meantime, leave anything you have in the comments.
Here is your week 1 announcing schedule. I’ll get things started with quotes  from Thursday’s games.
_________________________________________________________________
“Brian Maddox, 1st carry of the season and he’s snowed under” — Rece Davis comes out of the gate strong with the obscure idiom/Keane song.
“They have a turnover goal and it is BIG!” — Craig James
“This South Carolina offense is discombobulated.” — Rece Davis after SC’s first possession of the season.
“South Carolina has its initial first down of the season.” — Rece Davis after SC’s fifth offensive play from scrimmage of the season.
“Asiata might be the hot back.” — Kelly Stouffer
“Terrelle Pryor with his first TD of the year.” — VERSUS’ Craig Hummer showing highlights of Pryor’s second TD of the year, and his name is “Hummer.”
“The rub is actually rubbing the cover guy.”  — Kelly Stouffer describing the rub play.
“Bang!” — Craig James
“He plays behind his pads. He keeps his pad level even, and he has a constant motor to keep plowing north. ” — Jesse Palmer on Marcus Lattimore with Craig James in the background saying “whew!” every other word.
“Dion Lewis is getting up inside of his backside.” — Kelly Stouffer
“Disorder, confusion, chaos. They do it all.” — Joe Beninatti on Utah’s fans.  Note: At the end of the 1st half he similarly used three synonyms to describe Utah’s first half effort.
“Have you ever seen something like this?” — Joe Beninatti after Pitt. made a game-tying FG, but Utah pulled the ol’ timeout trick. Pitt. then missed a FG, but Utah pulled the trick again, stabbing themselves in the foot. Finally, Pitt. made the third FG try, sending the game to OT.
“That rainbow looks like it has USC colors in it.”  — Mark Jones
“I disagree. It creates a frenzied atmosphere even more so. I think it works to Hawaii’s advantage. Granted, it took away a TD, there’s a frenzy created in this stadium. Granted, they lost four points there, maybe.” — Bob Davie, utterly incomprehensible and disagreeing with Mark Jones in that Hawaii losing a TD at the end of the 1st half hurt. In short, yes, it hurt.

 

“They are going to go for two, because that makes it an 11 point game, which is a touchdown, a 2-point conversion, and a field goal so if they make it they get it to a potential two score game.”  — Bob Davie debating if Hawaii should go for two in a 49-36 game that USC leads with 3:52 left.
