[Husker] Announcers

[richards todd]

Well said Bob.  Down here in ole Tennessee, the locals
are just as myopic when it comes to the "everyone
hates us" notion.

What got me about Ware on Saturday was when the MU QB
tried to throw the ball to avoid a sack and his knee
was down at the 41 yard line, and the receiver trapped
the ball, Ware kept saying that it was a pass and a
catch.  It was neither a pass or a catch.  They would
rerun the tape and you could see the QB's knee go down
well before he released the ball and Ware kept saying
it was a pass.  He either wasn't looking at the replay
or was blind.
