Did he find Juan, yet?

And can he take Forde with him?

Bethany: Were they sent to Hell?
Metatron: Worse. Wisconsin. For the entire span of human history.

I think I heard he turned 66 today.

He’s old enough I guess.

Ahhhh that was one of the all time great "Did he really just say that?" moments

Jimmy the Greek was his broadcasting mentor.

Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.

Like the

“kind of gay” moment from the 2006 Iowa-NIU game?

I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.

Quick question

Would an announcer have gotten in trouble for calling this “kinda gay”?

I spent half my life's earnings on wine, women & song. The other half I wasted.

Or Mike Patrick's Britney moment.

"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"

But I thought the Nessler/Griese/Maguire (present for Iowa’s upset over PSU in ‘08) grouping was one of ESPN/ABC’s better crews, because they actually seemed to enjoy being in the same room together. But that could be just me…I seem to have different tastes in announcers than some.
