Brent Musburger called the OSU/Texas game tonight and – as always – he provided a few classic Musburgerisms:
“The Ohio State offense is matched up against the Texas defense.”
(on Limus Sweed’s missed catch in the endzone)
“But it doesn’t count when you’re out of bounds and you drop it.”
(on Mack Brown’s worthless challenge in the first quarter) “I am almost stunned by this.”
(on Troy Smith) “He’s a little undersized for Sunday ball, but he’s a good, good-looking quarterback.”
(about an Ohio State punt) “That one came out of the clouds.”
I’ve always thought that Musburger was overly dramatic, but one thing’s for sure – he calls every game like it’s #1 vs. #2.
Note: Why is ABC shoehorning Emmitt Smith and “Dancing with the Stars” promos into such a big game? The game is still close, there’s action on the field and we’re listening to Smith talk about how hard it is to learn the “cha cha” and the “quick step.” That’s an example of cross-promotion going way too far.
