This would be a great thread, there were quite a few mispronounced names of Husker players.

But a key to improving it is removing the lines that stick out your head.. like the ones people are posting here. For instance the line with Corso busting out an umbrella in the booth. You guys remember it. Do you remember the other two sets of lines that happen in the exact same situation at that? 2 Brad This one has gotten out of hand… Kirk Usually we don’t see games get real ugly until the second half, when the talent of the depth chart starts to show…but man, were still here in the first half and its already lookin like a blowout. 3 Brad And the big lead just got bigger folks. Lee I've seen some amazing comebacks in my day, but Im not too confident that Im gonna see one today. I'd love to be wrong guys, but I just don’t see it happenin'. I mean these guys aren't just scoring, they're pitching a shutout too! The point being... revamping isn't the best approach. Removing the memorable stuff and leaving in the lines that still work and adding new ones is a much better approach in my opinion. That's why I like this thread. I want to hear the ones that you guys can quote from memory. That means it is too memorable and should go the way of the Dodo.

Lol @ Dodo

Gosh I am so happy you're taking notes on what we as gamers want/don't want in future installments. I'm actually a bit surprised at how much you've hung around.

I don't think this one has been mentioned. It plays after a turnover.

Corso: Turnovers are to an offense what donuts are to a diet, they just mess everything up.

Kirk: Turnovers, donuts? I guess it makes sense.

Those weren't the exact words, but it went something like that.

I need better info on this. We don't have commentary about 6 picks. We stop at 5.

I think it's a line where Corso speculates that if a QB throws another INT he'll end up throwing six on the day.

Since it looks like EA doesn't want to add too many new lines to the crew, how about adding another play by play team? Add Musburger and his partner to do some play by play. That would go a long way to adding to the realism of the presentation and lessen the repetitve stale lines.

No.. we add a couple thousand every year. It is just that there are SO MANY lines, you don't notice. What you DO notice is the lines you REMEMBER. These are the ones we need to weed out and this thread will be a great help.

I'm marking all the lines in this thread in the script as memorable. So please, keep them coming! If there is a line you can come in here and post without just hearing it, it should not be in the game.

Definitely. Please, please remove this one.

Having a little trouble finding it. Is it any of these?

Lee	Some quarterbacks are just SO good at selling the play action…and it truly is an overlooked skill…Take Kirk for example, he wasn’t known for his speed but he could buy a lil time with a good play fake.
Kirk	Are you calling me slow? This is coming from a guy who's nickname is based on his footspeed. Isn't that right Scooter.
Lee	Ya left out sunshine. Its SUNSHINE scooter and boy could he play!

Brad	So they convert on 3rd down guys.
Lee	What a play. This kid broke a tackle behind the line of scrimmage and then scooted ahead for the first down.
Kirk	He scooted for the first down alright. This coming from the Sunshine Scooter.
Lee	Hey, this kid can live up to the name.

Brad	It may go down as an interception, but he had no choice but to try and make a play there, guys…
Kirk	I think every quarterback gets a few interceptions off of hail marys on 4th down when you have to throw it…Except for you, right Scooter?
Lee	Of course…I was too busy running the ol option to throw any picks.
Kirk	Aahh and the legend of the Sunshine Scooter is born. I just love that.
