I'm Giddy For Saturday And I've Got Gettin' Away From The Cops Speed

My favorite GUJO! exclamation was his famous “Game, blouses!” call, which I believe came at the end of an A&M NCAA tournament game. Brilliant for its sheer randomness.

I thought that was Gottlieb?

Ah, hell, you could be right. But he’s essentially a white GUJO!, so it’s all good.

No, you’re right. I Google dat shit.

Your Google is broke-ass, dogg. You were right:

Now if we don’t run at least one jaw-dropping gadget play, I WILL be pissed. That would be like benching all your Dominicans when Harry Carey is calling the game.

“Additionally, Brewster is more attractive than Holly Rowe.”

High praise indeed.

Or not bringing Paul Assenmacher out of the ’pen.

“My name’s Al Harrington, I get buckets!” …love it!

Should be fun even though I fully expect him to ride Iowa State’s jock for most if not all of the game. The man loves an upset; he was loving Missouri’s early lead on OU. Although all freedom-loving Americans liked that so there’s that.

“Did you people already know this?”

Yes… I’m coming around on Gus, but I’m naturally averse to automatic max volume.

It should be a positive for the broadcast, though…

What?!? No Dave Lapham???

While I am excited to hear one of my favorite announcers, this almost guarantees an Iowa State lead going into the 4th quarter. Games turn crazy cause the sports gods want to hear Gus.

I first learned that Gus Johnson was doing games on F/X last week during the OU – Mizzou game. I was instantly pumped for the ISU broadcast. This is a bit of an improvement over Sean McDoughnut, whose voice makes me want to push him into the lockers and steal his lunch money, and Matt Millen’s expert analysis of future NFL talent.

I’m a fan of both Davis and Brewster. Brewster is easy because of the Texas ties you mention (plus hearing him own the room with a talk to the local Longhorn club).

Davis did the OSU game at Stillwater in ‘05 when the ’Pokes jumped out to a 28-9 halftime lead on some turnovers and lucky bounces. Vince took over in the second half starting with housing it from 80 yards out on our second 3rd quarter possession. Davis handled that VY showcase as well as any announcer did all year and gave him the single best nickname I ever heard for him: Secretariat. That summed up Vince’s beauty and dominance succinctly. Davis has also been very good on the Golf Channel.

I’ll have to give GuJo a listen Saturday with your comments in mind—loved the clips.

Sucks that this is the game Brewster calls right after his son retires from football.

Scip, I fear you may wake in the middle of the night sometime soon to find Holly Rowe standing over you in a dominatrix outfit ready to both punish you AND change your opinion on this matter.

“Scip, I fear you may wake in the middle of the night sometime soon to find Holly Rowe standing over you in a dominatrix outfit ready to both punish you AND change your opinion on this matter.

The description alone would normally frighten the shit out of me, but I saw Nancy Grace’s nipple last night, so I am now immune to virtually any horrors.

Gus calling a Bryan Harsin offense? zomg!

Harsin should call the jump pass from the Ash package just so Gus can shout “RISE AND FIRE!”

“Now if we don’t run at least one jaw-dropping gadget play, I WILL be pissed. That would be like benching all your Dominicans when Harry Carey is calling the game.”

Why can’t I think of analogies like that? Very strong.

Nordbergeron -

It’s no mean feat for Holly Rowe to sneak up on anyone unawares, but in this instance Scip’s unconscious would likely ascribe her approach to one of the 4.0 temblors endemic to the Bay Area.

Gus is great, but until he works in a quality “Face Rape” line into his routine, color me unimpressed.

Scipio -

With all due respect, where are my Blake Brockermeyer and Peter Bean podcasts ?

:) :)

I’d do Holly Rowe….once….but I’d do her.

anybody but bob davie. there is no room for comedy in sports announcing.

GuJo working with Rafferty is like watching the game with your buddies while on acid.

Can you imagine if Gujo called the 9th inning of the red sox game and 12th inning of the rays game last night…. Simultaneously?

As soon as it was announced that the game was on FX, it was a given that this would be the broadcast team. I’m pretty pumped about Gus. I’m coming around on Davis.

Davis kind of irritated me by claiming Broyles had possession of that touchdown reception the entire time when he clearly didn’t. But he’s pretty good.

John Galt: I’d do Holly Rowe….once….but I’d do her.

Yeah, but you’re a character in a 1000 page too long Ayn Rand book. You’d do anyone to relieve the boredom.

Huck that got to me too. “See, he clearly has possession of the ball the entire way through!!” (as replays show the ball bouncing around as Broyles falls out of bounds)

“John Galt: I’d do Holly Rowe….once….but I’d do her.

Yeah, but you’re a character in a 1000 page too long Ayn Rand book. You’d do anyone to relieve the boredom."

That book was very important to me in 2 major ways: First in helping me to understand how the world works, at least from a fundamental standpoint in terms of how incentive and value for value trade is important to a functional economy and society, and second, in demonstrating that if you have an important message to get across, you better do it quick before you lose your audience’s attention.

should read *are important…

boj: Holly Rowe standing over you in a dominatrix outfit …

Fuck you. Now I’m going to have to seek professional assistance to quit seeing Rosie O’Donnell in that same outfit in that stupid cop movie with Ackroyd and Delany in the Hawaiian S&M club. Cinematography must have been game-planned by a young Harsin, given the (only slightly incomplete) avoidance of fat-roll appearances. Wrapup party said to have included the famed Mocha Kona Hot Fudge enemas.

What cable sports needs is more tourettes. The kids will love it.

KNICKERS!!! MONKEY!!!

Scipio’s post has produced, in short order, Holly Rowe in a dominatrix outfit, Atlas Shrugged, and Mocha Kona Hot Fudge enemas.

Please attempt to provide proper adjectival enhancements. I suggest choosing from among abhorrent, atrocious, beastly, despicable, disgusting, foul, horrid, loathsome, nauseating, obnoxious, odious, repellent, repugnant, repulsive, revolting, wretched. These all seem applicable to your list, although Atlas Shrugged might instead warrant a trip to your thesaurus for an alternative to “boring”.

Gus burps cyclones. Advantage: Iowa State

Seems to me you’re trying awfully hard to hide the fact that you’re into it.

“It”? Which of the three do you prefer? Honi soit qui mal y pense, amigo. Film at 11.

Holy shit, he’s already cyber-turrettes man. Immortal.

OH!!! THEY’RE INSIDE THE HORSE!!! HA-HAAA!!!!!

I had some beers with Charles Davis back in the VY years … seemed like a real good guy, was a big Longhorn fan.

“‘It?’ Which of the three do you prefer?”

Aw hell. I’m not picky. The more sordid and borderline/completely illegal the better.
 
“Honi soit qui mal y pense, amigo. Film at 11.”

Um, translation please? I feel like Elaine from Seinfeld in the Korean nail salon.

spider, how did you do that? Insert a link, I mean.

Gus Johnson is gold.

Bob:

Substitute triangular brackets for these square ones:

[a href=“URL from youtube”] text you want them to click on [/a]

Good point on GuJo! riding the jock of the underdog, but inevitably when the favorite reasserts dominance, he’ll blurt out a pleasing reprimand to the Cinderella daring to dream.

GuJo was good in his cameo on Tosh.0. Boom goes the dynamite!!

Scipio:

"Did you people already know this? "

Yes. Yes, I did. I heard about Gus Johnson doing the FX games the week it was announced and hoped Texas would end up getting a game there instead of FSN’s bunch.

Davis is an old Tennessee Vol I see fairly regular during NFL Network coverage of the combine and draft in the offseason.

I haven’t actually tuned into a FX broadcast yet, so I’m not sure how much they’ll let Brewster stray from the usual sideline routine. Anyone have info to share on this?

I feel like Elaine from Seinfeld in the Korean nail salon.

Ah… sounds like Holly/Rosie would be the ticket for you, then.

“Honi soit…” Try this…

Now if we don’t run at least one jaw-dropping gadget play, I WILL be pissed. That would be like benching all your Dominicans when Harry Carey is calling the game.

RAY – ul Moan Dee Cee, imo.

Hmmm… thought I’d try the linking hint from a few posts back, but apparently there’s a difference between thinking and doing…
 Mmmm,

Click here for something or maybe not… is it only a youtube URL or do others work, too?

My fear is that it will be a close back-and-forth affair, bringing back painful memories of the 2006 K-State game with Gary Thorne doing the play-by-play on ABC. As a hockey fan I appreciated the enthusiasm that Gary brought to a sport that could have one or two truly exciting plays over the span of 60 minutes of game time. But it was unbearable listening to every 2 yard rush sound like the RB was breaking a 50-yarder to win the game, all in the midst of my team losing.

For those of you who didn’t get to experience the quality of broadcasting by Gary Thorne during that game, here’s a little taste. That’s right, KSU tying the game at 7 with 6 minutes left in the FIRST quarter gets a rise out of Gary as if Yamon Figurs were Plaxico Burress beating the undefeated Patriots or Santiono Holmes coming back against Arizona.

thanks for that explanation, spider.

hey, how come you see more comments if you click on the ‘activity’ links in the right column than if you click on the title?

Ah, it was the misture of Spanish and French that threw me off. I didn’t know what translator to use. Good phrase. I will throw that in my “make people feel ignorant” chest of obscure words and phrases.

"make people feel ignorant"

Not the intent. The translation applies rather well to the subject(s) of unlovely women (Holly, Rosie, Ayn) and questionable activities involving stimulants and orifices.

It’s all good, man. I knew that wasn’t what you were doing. I was just joking around. I like the “let me google that for you” deal, though. Pretty slick. I would have googled it myself, but I decided to invoke the old Chinese proverb “The onus lies with he who offers obscure phrases.”

Roger that – it’s just really tough trying to keep up with – or at least not lose sight of – all the hotshit scribes around this place.

Tex Long,

I think people read Scip’s awesome biting wit and take it as a personal challenge to match it in their comments. If you got me drunk enough, I’d probably admit to doing that a little.

Sailor Ripley does a pretty good GUJO! imitation after five Gin & Tonics. Except it isn’t an impression. He actually becomes GUJO!

how come you see more comments if you click on the ‘activity’ links…?

I think that shows the “un-registered” posters as well as uhhhh “members”…

“I have no idea why we live in a world where Craig James gets to do primetime college football on ESPN while Charles Davis does FX and second tier NFL games for Fox, but this is the way of things.”

It’s pretty simple: James has the daughters of the ESPN head of programming and finance trapped in a well in the basement of his house, letting them thin up before making dresses out of their skin. He’s told the executives he’ll keep his sewing machine unplugged as long as he gets to call games of his choosing.

They know James is serious because it’s common knowledge that he has killed 5 hookers in the DFW area … maybe more.

Oh fucking goddamnit. here’s the link

Loved him when he was with the Bullets.

I hope you all have paid a visit to the Gus Johnson soundboard.

CJD –

(Craig James) ALLEGEDLY killed five hookers in the DFW area…maybe more.

FIFY. We shouldn’t jump to conclusions until all the facts are in.

Gus – PB doesn’t like vuvuzelas either. Meanwhile I think they should be mandatory at all public events, including funeral processions and city council meetings. Sports seriousness is overrated.

VuvuMeister ftw.

OU had him for the season opener versus Tulsa, and the Mizzou game last weekend. It was a treat.

Classy. Well-prepared. Professional.

The FX presentation rivals the old TBS College Football games, it’s very good. TBS had the superior intro song, though.

Davis is a really good dude and, as mentioned before, is a big Longhorn fan.

Someone essentially assist to make significantly posts I would state. That is the first time I frequented your website page and thus far? I amazed with the research you made to make this particular submit extraordinary. Excellent job!

Wow, superb blog layout! How lengthy have you ever been blogging for? you made running a blog glance easy. The total look of your site is wonderful, let alone the content!
