Big Blue, take two
Thom Brennaman could get used to this college football stuff. He was play-by-play announcer for Fox on Boise State's classic upset of Oklahoma, and was also at the mike on the new Big Ten network on the App State upset.
Then there was the quarterback of the giant-killers, Armanti Edwards, who said when he checked his e-mail Sunday he had requests from 100 Ohio State fans who wanted to become his buddy on Facebook.
And this from curmudgeonly Joe Paterno, the Penn State coach, who couldn't understand all the fuss over the upset. Said JoePa, "They're replaying the greatest upset in the history of the world and the whole bit. I always thought when they put the devil down below, that was one of the greatest upsets of all time. The only trouble was, they didn't take newspaper people with him."

As an aside, Thom Brennaman has called a grand total of three football games thus far: Boise St over Oklahoma, Florida over Ohio State, and Appalachian St over Michigan. Oh, and he's back on the Cincinnati Reds beat this year too.
My stomach is turning knowing that this rabbits foot in reverse is going to be in the Horseshoe tomorrow.
