Worst Commentary Lines in NCAA 08

Adam, just curious - who actually WRITES the script, and can we get a copy?

The script has been growing since 2004. Every year we add and remove lines. The producer in charge, in this case me, has to identify what needs to be added or removed and get the lines working correctly. Then they need to write the lines that should be recorded. This is the toughest part.

Sorry... can attached a 50 meg spreadsheet to my post

I'm not the best passer, but even if it's true I don't need to hear it all the time like that.

That reminds me of another one.

Corso: You think he would've caught that if it was a cheeseburger?
Herbie: I'm gonna tell him you said that next time we do a game of theirs.
Corso: You're right, what if it was a donut?

definitely the 'beep - beep - beep'

I've quit a game or two solely because of that.

I cut that line about going to his hotel room for 09, so it is gone. Besides, what if he is on the home team? Why is he staying at a hotel?

See! This is my point. I'm sure you have heard them. But you can't tell because they aren't memorable like the stuff with opening an umbrella in the booth.

This is why I need this thread. I had NEVER heard that line before. Checked the script... there it is, from NCAA 2004!

(after a dropped interception)

Lee: "That kid looked like he was trying to catch a greased pig."
Kirk: "Easy, Scooter at least he prevented the reception."
