    Could not stop thinking of SportsJournalists.com last night during the Xavier-K State game.
    Gus Johnson.
    Oh, Gus Johnson.
    "AN INSTANT CLASSIC ... HERE AT THE CORNER OF KARL MALONE AND JOHN STOCKTON DRIVE!!!!!"

    And then, in my head, I remembered back to an all-time classic here with the Guster calling the moon landing.
    Not word for word and I couldn't find it but as I recall

    YESSSSSS, NEIL ARMSTRONG HAS DONE IT.
    FIRST MAN ON THE MOON. THE SEA OF TRANQUILITY IS NOT CALM TONIGHT
    YOU SAW IT HERE ON CBS
    LATER TONIGHT, AN ALL NEW LETTERMAN

    Anyone remember the original?

    I'm thinking about what other lines of work would have been a disaster for ol' Gus.

    Perhaps on course golf announcer or funeral director.

    Could you imagine if Gus Johnson and Suzyn Waldman had teamed up on the Roger Clemens call?

    I would imagine that it could not be any worse than Waldman/ Sterling call.

    Anyone else hear Gus scream "K-STATE...MAKES THE ELITE EIGHT!" last night at the end of the game? I'll admit I embellish the hell out of him rhyming....but Crissakes it was almost like he's been reading this board the past three years/

    I've always wanted to have an announcer follow me around one day and just announce thing.

    "And Mustang logs on to Sportsjournalists.com for the 10th time in the last hour."

    I think Gus Johnson would be perfect for this.
