[QUOTE=bkeiller;49260]It was at the end of the game and was on a breakaway and even if it was following coaches direction at least he did it. I thought it was funny that the ESPN anchor doing highlights last night said "Nice job by Flanders staying in bounds, MARION BARBER". Fezz I was curious what you thought of the coaches decision to go for it on 4th and 1 from your OWN 40 up 3 with 2 min left. Pretty ballsy.[/QUOTE]
The problem with the ESPN anchor, I believe Robert Flores, is that he was working so hard on becoming the next Craig Kilborne (in addition to dropping a Marion Barber referemce, he also was doing a Simpsons Ned Flanders impersonation) that he kept referring to Montana as "Montana State". You don't have to know which team is the Grizzlies and which team is the Bobcats or be aware that their rivalry is the "Brawl of the Wild" to know that Montana is in the national championship game about every other year (usually losing it) and Montana State historically is the Vanderbilt of the Big Sky. If you're going to force humor (ignoring for the moment the whole issue of demeaning the Flanders kid's moment in the sun by mocking his last name) it fits better when your cogniscent of know which team is actually playing in the game.
