Love for Brent

from CFB news:

The lead-in to your (Cavalcade of Whimsy) column on the home page promised to highlight "the worst color analyst ever". I thought to myself, this should be good, he's going to rip Brent Musberger & team. Finally, I though, here it comes!! Could this be the beginning of the groundswell to get rid of these guys? They could move over the 4th or 5th team from ESPN... Alas, it was not the case (note: I said it was Jamal Anderson). But I have to ask, Is my Saturday crew (among us grads of Michigan, ND, Tenn, Florida State, Rutgers) the only ones who absolutely cannot stand Musberger and his boys. Why does ABC keep him around? Didn't CBS dump him? Does it have something to do with money? I have, for me personally, the biggest meeting of the year in 24 minutes and I'm writing this stupid e-mail. – Scott

A: I’ve been roasted over the coals many times and many ways for saying that Brent Musburger is, without a doubt, my favorite football announcer in the game right now and possibly my favorite ever. To me, the one thing I care about more than anything else in an announcer is genuine excitement, as long as it’s impartial, when he’s calling a game. Musberger is at a point in his career where he has a big enough body of work to have the sound of a big play announcer; you know it’s a big game if he’s calling it. If I’m investing three-plus hours of my life watching a game, I want to believe it’s the biggest thing going in the world at that moment, and Musberger delivers that feel better than anyone calling any sport. O.K., so he has some quirks that annoy everyone other than me like his BUCKEEEYYYYYES, and “partner” and some of his other quirks, but I don’t care.
 
Not that I cared at the time because I was at the game in Tempe, but what I wouldn't give if my DVD had Musberger's excitement instead of Jackson's disinterest.

Jackson used to be the best in the business, but now I like nothing more than to hear "pardner" for a few hours.

The man that inspired the best drinking game in the world is alright in my book.


Lou Fanoukie's Brent Musburger Drinking Game

​

To enjoy a Husker game being aired by ABC and telecast by Brent Musburger, OR4NE would like to offer the following drinking game, from OU Sooner Lou Fanoukie.

WARNING! Play at your own risk. It is conceivable your whole party will be shit-faced with 8 minutes remaining in the 1st quarter.

Rule #1: "The Pardner"
* Partner is spelled "Pardner," because that's the way Brent says it.
A person is picked to be The Pardner at the beginning of the game. The first time Brent says "Pardner," The Pardner has to take 1 drink, and then picks someone else to be The Pardner. The next time Brent says it, the new Pardner has to take 2 drinks, and then pick a new Pardner, and so on and so on. The Pardner must wear a special "Pardner" hat.

Rule #2: "Folks"
(click for soundbite)
Everyone drinks 1 when Brent says "Folks." However, if Brent says "Hold on Folks," everyone must drink once. But the first person to drink has to finish their drink for not holding on.

Rule #3: "It's a foot race!"
(click for soundbite)
Whenever Brent says "It's a foot race," everyone has to finish their drink. The first one done becomes "That Man" and gets to punch The Pardner in the arm.

Rule #4: "There's that man again"
(click for soundbite)
After someone becomes "That Man," they get to give away 3 drinks to someone of their choosing the next time Brent says "That Man." That person then becomes "That Man." If Brent says "That Man" before "It's a footrace," The Pardner becomes That Man. If The Pardner becomes "That Man" first, he gets to punch the new "That Man" in the arm twice after giving away the 3 drinks. There must also be a special hat for "That Man."

Rule #5: "Dr. Pepper"
(click for soundbite)
Everytime Brent says "Dr. Pepper," everyone has to yell out "I'M A PEPPER!" and take 2 drinks. Afterwards, each person must give out a satisfied "AAAAAAAHHHHH!" as if in a Dr. Pepper commercial. Anyone who fails to do so must drink again.

Alternate Rule #5: "Budweiser"
(click for soundbite)
If the game is sponsored by Budweiser and not DP - every time that Brent says "Budweiser" everyone has to yell out "THIS BUD'S FOR YOU!" and take 2 drinks. Afterwards, each person must say "TRUE" as if in a Budweiser commercial. Anyone who fails to do so must drink again.

Rule #6: "Jack Arute"
(click for soundbite)
Whenever Brent says, "Our ol' buddy Jack Arute" everyone has to say "AROOOOOOT!" Last one to do it has to do a shot. If everyone does it simultaneously, The Pardner must do a shot.

Rule #7: "In the college game."Whenever Brent says this little gem, everyone must say "Shut the f**k up Brent," drink 2, and punch The Pardner in the arm.

Rule #8: Mentioning a Big 10 school
(click for soundbite)
This is during a non-Big 10 game. Whenever Brent does this, the first person who names the Big 10 school's mascot gets to make somebody drink for 11 seconds, since there's 11 schools in the Big 10.

Rule #9: Calling a touchdown
(click for soundbite)
This is before the player actually scores. For example, during an interception return, Brent says "It's a touchdown!" before the player actually scores. In this case, everyone must start drinking and continue to drink until the player actually does score. If by some odd event, the player does NOT score, everyone must finish their drink.

Rule #10: "Gary, my man."Whenever Brent says "Gary, my man," The Pardner gets to choose someone to be Gary. From that point on, that person must be referred to as "Gary, my man" until the game is over. "Gary, my man" gets to give away 5 drinks the rest of the game any time Brent says "Gary, my man." If someone talks to "Gary, my man" without calling him that, they have to do a shot. If there is someone playing the game actually named Gary, that person is automatically "Gary, my man." Rule also applies to "Gary, my friend." But Rule 14 still applies.

Rule #11: "The Major"
If Brent has a pet nickname for one of the players during the game - for example, calling Major Applewhite "The Major" - everyone must drink 5 anytime Brent uses this nickname. However, "Gary, my man" does not drink but gets to give away 5 drinks since this person already has a nickname of their own.

Rule #12: "John Saunders"
(click for soundbite)
The first time Brent quips with John Saunders, everyone must drink 1. The next time, everyone must drink 2, and so on and so on.

Rule #13: In the booth.Whenever there's a camera shot of Brent in the booth, The Pardner must make a toast to Brent. After the toast, everyone must drink 1.

Rule #14: "My Friend"
(click for soundbite)
Every Pardner gets to choose a "Friend." The friend must always get up to get The Pardner another drink (since The Pardner will be doing quite a bit of that). However, when Brent utters "My Friend," The Friend gets to punch The Pardner in the arm for making him get up so much.

Best rule ever for a drinking game: the Star Wars Drinking Game: Drink 2 whenever something goes wrong with the Millenium Falcon. Drink 4 if its the Hyper Drive.

Worst Rule Ever: Drink one every time a word rhyming with "oompa" is spoken during Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Rule #11: "The Major"
If Brent has a pet nickname for one of the players during the game - for example, calling Major Applewhite "The Major" - everyone must drink 5 anytime Brent uses this nickname. However, "Gary, my man" does not drink but gets to give away 5 drinks since this person already has a nickname of their own.

Could you imagine how many times you'd drink if you followed this rule during a Buckeye game? "The Big Kat," "The Kaiser," etc. Brent has a pention for nicknaming our Middle Linebacker.

I'll laugh my ass off if we get a "D'Animal" or "The Boar Hunter" this year.
