I feel like I'm following you around today.

I'm not sure I've seen that particular interview, but he's in love with Florida in every other interview I've seen with him, so I'm not surprised.

"Coach X is doing things the right way in building this program"

Translation: He'll never reach a BCS bowl if he stays 100 years, makes no adjustments, has no game awareness, is terrible with substitutions, and is a used car salesman as a recruiter...but his players go to class (occasionally).

I saw that interview. He said (paraFrasing) "we now know for sure that one of the BCS Title game teams will be the Florida-Alabama SEC CCG winner" - completely ignoring the fact that Florida has to play 2 schools with a pulse - South Carolina and FSU.

He also said that if the Big 12 has a 3-way tie, the "Final BCS standings would determine which team plays in the Big 12 Title game." It's a minor point, but at the time, those won't be the Final BCS standings, which aren't determined until after the Conference Championship games.

I don't have a problem with sports cliches so much as I loathe gross misuses of the English language:

#1 - When a commentator or analyst mentions that Player X "has the intangibles," then proceeds to rattle off words like 'poise,' 'vision,' and 'Spidey-Sense!,' which are all identifiable traits, and therefore, tangible. Or even worse, talks about a QBs "intangibles," then proceeds to note the QB's measurables, such as being 6'6"-230 and running a 4.3.

#2 - Untracked. You want to get on track, not untracked.

I'll add Musburger's sports metaphors here too. When calling CFB games he talks about QBs being point guards of their offense, then when calling CBB games he'll talk about a good PG being the quarterback of the offense.
