College Football Cliches

• Little Danny

  

  I thought of starting this thread after commenting how Herbstreit uses the term "True Freshman" 100 times a game. What are some of your favorite/not so favorite cliches from College Football? I know a bunch of them, but here are a few just to get us started
  
  He is a high motor guy
  nose for the football
  pinning your ears back
  dangerous in space

  Haven't really accomplished much but they did have a close loss to USC a few years back that will eventually put the program back on track

  they're no longer playing to win--they're playing not to lose
  
  it's a shame somebody has to lose this game
  
  there's no quit in this team

  The punt is the most important play in football.
• bigkahuna

  When Reggie Bush was playing Herbie always said this
  
  "He's running and just when you then he's going to get tackeld, he presses that B-Button and keeps going"
  
  You know what Herbie on Playstation it's the O Button or the Right Analog Stick. Not everyone plays XBox you prick.
  
  Oh, and I'm pretty sure Reggie doesn't have a controler in his pocket, he spins or jukes; no button involved.
• bigkahuna

  They're playing Tressel Ball
  
  No, they're chewing the clock to get the win. I'm pretty sure Michigan, Iowa, FLA, ANYONE ELSE doesn't play Tressel Ball
  They play Rodriguez, Ferentz. Meyer....Ball

  True, true. I would tune in to Keith Jackson broadcasting 2 0-11 D3 schools playing in the snow just to hear him call a game.
• bigkahuna

  ^^^Agreed.
  
  Without a doubt my (as well as many others') faborite broadcaster of all time.
  
  His comentary used to be one of the best parts about the Michigan/OSU Game
  And the best part of the Rose Bowl.
  
  I wish he still did just those 2 games or just the Rose Bowl still.
• THE4RINGZ

  

  Yeah those two games would be great just so we could hear "we've got a dandy on our hands today." Twice a year.
• vball10set

  ..and there's nothing like hearing him describe the O-line as the "big uglies up front"
• bigkahuna

  I never understood why he said Times Out as opposed to Time Outs.
