Football phrases - College football fall part 1

The 2022 college football season is upon us, and that means grown men and women yelling nonsense.

We start with the September 1st West Virginia-Pittsburgh game. This game is referred to as "The Backyard Brawl", and the reason I know that is because the announcing team said the expression 13 times.....

and I started watching the game with about 8 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter.

Other nonsense:

"remember when I said this game was energy drink? now it's more lukewarm milk"
"coming up with a PBU" (just say pass break up)
"backs against the wall"
"look out for No. 12 because he's gonna be getting better, a lot"

!

WVU up 31-24, 10 1/2 minutes left:

"every possession counts"


9/2 - Virginia Tech-Old Dominion, ESPN

"use his legs as a check down"
"they are holding up this game because some coaches are caught in the elevator"

9/15 - Kansas City-San Diego, NFL Network

"almost...almost...but no cigar."
"Herbert trying to take a page out of Patrick Mahomes"

Mahomes is made of pages?

"the loser of this game's gonna have a loss"

thanks, Al Michaels!


10/8 - North Carolina-Duke, ESPN

"shake him out of his boots"
"he runs a lot bigger than that"
"laying some wood"


10/10 - Las Vegas-Kansas City, ESPN

"they window dressed it a little differently"


10/13 - NC Central-Morgan State, ESPN2

"he's a well put together specimen"
"wrapped up a number of Morgan State jerseys"
"they put him on an island"


* Soccer commercial slogan: PASSION SHOULD NEVER GO HUNGRY


10/16 - Baltimore-NY Giants, CBS

"they use motion to draw eyes"
"Jones on Jones crime on the first play"
"it becomes an arm throw"
"found him over the middle, in the briar patch!"
