If UF wins: "Repeat after me, Florida's the champ again!"

IF OSU wins: "Ohio State bucks the trend!"

Or: "Nothing's the Matta with the Buckeyes!"

The ball is tipped . . .

"And we'll see you all on Saturday for a tradition like no other....the Masters (splooge)"

This would be more fun if BYM2 were doing his Gus Johnson impressions instead.
 
GJ: Pendergraft the inbounder on the baseline. They throw it to Morrison. He holds on.

LE: You don't want to foul Morrison. You make him get it over half court. You know you got to foul...

GJ: And a steal! Farmar! Inside! The freshman... up OHHHH! And they go in front! Raivio. Last, chance, to dance! Mbah a Moute!

LE: Unbelievable!

[In the ensuing chaos, Mbah a Moute steals the ball from Derek Raivio and forced a jump ball with the possession arrow to the Bruins. Gus is so freaking stunned, he cannot even call the game. The TV truck cannot follow the action either, it was just chaos all around.]

GJ: Oh what a game!
LE: Unbelievable.
GJ: What. A. Game!
LE: Unbelievable!
GJ: U.C.L.A.! Unbelievable!
LE: Are you kidding me!?!

GJ: After being down by 17... Heart, Break, City!
LE: Holy Mackerel
GJ: 2.6 to go! UCLA has CLIMBED the MOUNTAIN!

GJ: Hollis comes into the game. He’ll guard the ball. Pendergraft the inbounder.

LE: On any long pass, trying to get it to halfcourt, you still want to get after the ball like you’re a cornerback in the …

Johnson: In the frontcourt... Batista with the C-A-A-ETCH! THAT’S IT! WHAT A COMEBACK! UCLA DEFEATS GONZAGA, 73-71, AFTER BEING DOWN BY 17!
 
Good idea for a thread. You can bet it will be something mind-numbingly stupid.

After an insufferable decade as CBS play-by-play guy, Nantz has done the impossible: Make me miss Brent Musberger.

"The 'Cats may have Billy's tongue, but the Gators have the title!"

The nation replies: "Please, tell us you're talking about Packer."
 
After a Florida loss: "Well, you can bet Billy D doesn't give a **** about Kentucky right now. Coming up this weekend, a tradition unlike any other..."
 
Golf Digest did a Q and A with Nantz about two years ago where he couldn't stop slobbering over the Masters. "People e-mail me and say 'what's with that music you use. What's that about?'" If there are really people out there obsessed with Masters music, please give us their addresses so the proper people can look after them. I love golf and couldnt give a **** about the music.

Silence. Please.

They're probably the same people who busted CBS for overlaying audio of birds that are not indigenous to that part of Georgia on their cutaway shots of the flora and fauna of Augusta a few years ago.
 
Can there be an odder team than the milquetoast, cornball Nantz and the strident, perpetually caustic Packer? I'm taping the game and gladly will watch it back without sound.
 
"Great! Oden's ravin'!!!"

"The Gators take a bite out of a dynasty!" or "For the first time since Hondo and Lucas, the National Championship returns to Columbus on the shoulder of Greg Oden!"
