35-28 for BIRM. The 16-point spread is not happening right now!

That was an oogly win--a W nonetheless I guess. But they're gonna have to find out what's wrong on D (yeah I know Scooby's gone, so is the window of using that as an excuse), stat.

Lowell Galindo has a bad habit of mentioning a player's college almost EVERY time he refers to someone. It's almost like a verbal tic at this point.

It does seem overkill like you're still trying to convince people that these are actual real-life players who played college ball, but even Greg Papa has (or at least did) that habit. He'd mention either college or the guy's former team ad nauseum.

But yeah imagine Kugler, Harlan, Nantz, Buck, or Michaels doing a game and the same deal--though Harlan would at least work it into his normal routine if it fit.
