I've posted it before but it bears repeating. Anyone who gets the raw satellite feed and hears him during commercial breaks just can't hate him or think he's anti OSU. Add in the Holy Buckeye call and he's #1 in my book.

Love him.(platonic style not Amaechi style)

I voted the middle ground because, he is, after all, just an announcer. But I have to agree with you. People who claim ANY bias against the Buckeyes have no clue and are just looking for reasons to claim "disrespect".

I've always maintained that Musberger is overtly, unabashedly, pro-OSU. Anybody who isn't obsessing over the color of Brent's tie can see it. And I promise every single fan of every other D1A team will certainly say it.

... the worst part about your new football overlords the Ohio State Buckeyes is the medical problem created by a Tressel-dominated universe: a smitten, slobbering Brent Musburger attached firmly to Tressel's balls. We've never, ever heard an announcer so gobsmacked-in-love as Musburger is with Tressel, who got loving descriptions of his "firm, sculpted buttocks that leapt up and down in his gray slacks like so much springy weasel-flesh" from Brent all night. If you are playing the Musburger drinking game, eschew taking a sip every time he washes El Sweatervest's balls; you'll be dead by the third quarter if you do.

He has become a caricature of himself over the past five seasons. However, I don't think anything he does is egregious, especially compared to some of the other annoying idiots that could be calling the game instead. I think people that think Musberger is anti-Buckeye don't pay enough attention to him or other college football personalities. I miss the team of Musberger & Danielson. I don't think either has been as good without the other. I think Danielson brought a very analytical approach that is necessary to balance what Musberger does. I think Herbie indulges Musberger too much sometimes. I think Herbie was better when the Gameday team of him, Corso & Fowler were doing Thursday night games. The same things that makes that group good for Saturday mornings makes them great during Thursday night games as well.

Big Game Brent’s next venture in life will seem entirely fitting for even the most casual of sports observer over the years. From the Associated Press:

Musburger, who is 77 years old, plans to move to Las Vegas and help his family start a sports handicapping business.

Thinking back to all of his not so subtle comments about point spreads and over/under scores in garbage time.
