[Husker] Mussburger Ticket

[Scott R Lawson]

Back when Musberger was teamed with Dick Vermeil they were covering a NU game (I forgot the opponent) and the field reporter, Jack Arute, mentioned how the qb was jerking his head at the snap count to draw the defense offside. When he finished, Musberger said something like, "Ok, thanks Jack- speaking of being jerked off..." and he and Vermeil chuckled. At the time, I thought this was hilarious, but looking back it may have been in poor taste.

Musburger (I think it's one 's') was heard to say "Darn!" when that
deflected pass was caught in the '97 Missouri game.  (I didn't hear it,
but I was making a lot of noise myself and didn't have the VCR set.)  
Other hate him for his "black-skinned storm troopers" crack about the '68
Olympics salute.
