Best Commentators Quotes that you remember.

Couple Harry Caray ones:

(Referring to a young couple at a baseball game) "He kisses her on the strikes, and she kisses him on the balls."

"High, pop fly... that wouldn't be a homerun in a phone booth!"

You can find a whole slew of John Madden ones out there I'm sure but sometimes you just can't make up stuff like this one:

"Mark Brunell usually likes to soak his balls before a rainy game."

Some funny YouTube stuff out there too:

Gus Johnson! The year we beat kansas at home a long time ago when Nurse hit that DEEP three to either take the lead or tie it. It was on CBS I still have it on tape. Hilton was rockin. I forget exactly what he said but it had the two words of "O BABY."

I think it was when Iowa State beat Virginia a couples years ago in b-ball the announcer referring to a cyclone player:

"He is LITERALLY carrying the entire team on his back."

I don't think he knew the definition of the word "literally".

I can't remember the two NFL teams playing, but one was just destroying the other and Pat Summeral said, "If this were a fight, they'd stop it."

I've got a few favorites. A couple from Dave Armstrong:

"He's having the game of his life!"

"Iowa State wins it! Wow! Wow! Wow!" As Thigpen hitting a running 3-pointer to win in Colorado, circa 92/93

As we're going on a 17-2 run to end the first half vs Oklahoma State, they pan the crowd, "They're loving it here in Iowa". and then OSU coach Leonard Hamilton, "And he's not!"

My all-time favorite, though was a 1st round NCAA Tourney match-up of Loyola Marymount vs New Mexico State. This was the year that Loyola was playing for Hank Gathers. They could score in bunches and were on a major run. I can't remember who the broadcasters were, but it went something like this.

#1 : "New Mexico State the number 10 seed is a team not easily rattled." Loyola inbounds it Jeff Friar, "And Friar for three!" nothing but net from 25 feet out.

#2 : "That'll rattle you." Chuckling , "That'll rattle you."

I thought that was so hilarious at the time and think I've watched that clip about a million times...

Never heard you say these quotes before. This is shocking!

Dave Armstrong had another good one, as Oklahoma had a guy named Prince Fowler that was in foul trouble. Armstrong came up with this quote: "Now a foul on Fowler...and for Prince, he's gonna have to sit on the throne. That's his third foul..."

A few years back, at a Mizzou at Nebraska game, somebody had a sign that said

Excrement
Stool
Poop
Nebraska

Okay, so that's not a commentator... who cares? It's still hilarious.

I'm also a fan of the guy who always calls ISU games... the one that said, "He's too Maggitt to quit!"

The guy doing the game Saturday. "Rhodes is the kind of coach that makes me want to lace 'em up".

I almost spit Dr. Pepper all over my keyboard.

I was calling a D3 college bball game several years ago on the radio, and one team's point guard's last name was Gay. Toward the end of the game, that team was behind by a bunch and fouling to stop the clock. My comment was "annnnd Gay with the reach around" Didn't realize what I said, I look over and see my color guy bright red and just shaking trying not to laugh on air.
