More Shades of 1997: Brian Griese Doing Color for UCF-Michigan
We've talked a lot this week about Why We Hate Scott Frost, and now there's another 1997 angle to the UCF-Michigan game: Brian Griese is doing the color for ABC's broadcast. Oh, what irony! It's nice that Griese will be in the house to see Scotty take his punishment.
It showed up in this piece in USA Today, which points out that 19 years ago, Scotty really wanted to play Michigan. Now he gets his chance.

Pheasant hunting in Michigan pretty much sucks anymore, but its plenty good in other locations.

This is the dumbest person I've ever seen.
But, he got his pheasant!

He isn't good at his job. It makes everyone look like shit when you don't meet the expectations of you job. Someone who doesn't even care enough to research the game he is calling. stories he told were wrong. His undrstanding of the roster was non existant. The only research he did was talk to Zordich because he was on a team with him. Dude is just bad at his job.

....and then scott frost will be like this for the rest of the day....
TBH, it would be far more professional to just give him a wedgie.

Nope, that's actually a cool story, bro

Half that Michigan team was still playing in the NFL a decade later.
Almost the entire Nebraska team was selling insurance and appearing in local used car ads by 1999.

That being said. Irrational yelling about Michigan football is by far my favorite past time. Heck, I found things to yell at in a 63-3 victory.

That's ok. I bear enough ill will toward the man for both of us.

And Spartan Bob was just an MSU fan trying to help his team out. We should forgive him, too.
September 8th, 2016 at 12:56 PM ^
...but Spartan Bob? Never.

Brian Griese made his case too in interviews after the Rose Bowl. But he did it by talking about the virtues of Michigan. At no time did he ever mention Nebraska.
Frost, on the other hand, kept calling out and trashing Michigan to make his case. He handled it with zero class.
I hope Harbaugh hangs a hundred on him.
And then goes for two.

I say we turn Scott Frost into Jack Frost and we stick it right up his Jacksie. Then the NCAA will know why he said he would rather play ANY other team from Michigan.
September 7th, 2016 at 5:55 PM ^
I take it this means that Steve Levy is doing the play-by-play? Because he is an absolutely terrible fucking announcer. Absolute torture for the ears. When I saw that the morons at ESPN saw fit to bring him back to the booth for college football I was crushed.
September 7th, 2016 at 6:48 PM ^
September 8th, 2016 at 4:59 PM ^
He's not new to CFB broadcasting.
September 8th, 2016 at 7:05 AM ^
Well I happen to know Brian Griese, and Steve Levey, you are no Brian Griese. /s

How about a QB named Tom Brady? He will likely get off to a very slow start for the first quarter of the season, but then I suspect he will play with a vengeance.

He's now an analyst on I think it was BTN.
September 7th, 2016 at 8:15 PM ^
Wasn't the back on that flea flicker play back in 1997 Shevin Wiggins? I thought he was the one that kicked it to WR Matt Davison. Is he an analyst now? I thought Davison was just doing Nebraska radio, or at least so I had heard. I could be wrong though.
