100 Day Countdown 2024

I can still hear the live play call:

On a roll ... gonna throw It!
Got him wide open baby ... Derek Lewis in a footrace!

Was it Brent Musburger? He always used the term "footrace"

Was it Brent Musburger? He always used the term "footrace"

Yes, it was good ole Brent.

#81 in the On Deck Circle for tomorrow: one on my favs.... Warroir TE Pat Fitzgerald!

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

good ole Brent

Can't agree.

Brent, yes.

Good ole? Nope. Not gonna' go there. I never particularly liked him, and I absolutely detested hearing him shout "fumbllllllle" at the top of his lungs. By the time his career was winding down, I'd listen in silence rather than hear his voice.

 

[SabreHorn]

SN,

You hit the nail on the head. First time I heard him, I couldn't stand him, and he did nothing to change my thoughts. His ranting after the 84 OU game caused me to ask Deloss to ban him from Memorial Stadium.

 

[LonghornEE72]

Can't agree.

Brent, yes.

Good ole? Nope. Not gonna' go there. I never particularly liked him, and I absolutely detested hearing him shout "fumbllllllle" at the top of his lungs. By the time his career was winding down, I'd listen in silence rather than hear his voice.

I was being sarcastic; guess it didn't come through. I started disliking him intensely in the 60's when he refused to make picks for game winners. Brent was the epitome of "pimp the guys with the lead." I will stop there.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Yeah, sarcasm can be tough to discern through a keyboard. It's all good.

# 81 TE Pat Fitzgerald

Roll Left is a play which will always be remembered in Texas Football lore. If Fitzgerald doesn’t make a one-handed catch on a play earlier in the drive where Brown is nearly tackled in his own end zone, there is no Roll Left.

Don’t worry, counting down from 75 to 50 takes forever.
