Hero Of The Night: No. 2 Hitter, Chris Myers
College Football, Goooooood Morning Sports Hernia, Media Gossip/Musings, Video, WWE January 6th. 2010, 7:45am
Each morning (usually) we’ll be celebrating something great or terrible from the night before. More often than not, it’ll probably be the latter.
According to The Weather Channel, at around 10 pm last night it was approximately 57 degrees in Miami, site of the Orange Bowl and home to the world’s most embarrassing beer.
Clearly, mittens at such a manageable temperature are beyond laughable unless your mom is forcefully bundling you up like Randy Parker, but that didn’t stop Chris Myers from debuting what appears to be either a batting glove or some kind of Gore-Tex fencing glove.
Either way, very subtle and very studly.

Bonus — Brooke Hogan’s bouncing boobs and Hulk Hogan’s bedazzled shirt (and Chico):

I thought it was 49 at kickoff? coldest Orange Bowl ever, or some nonsense like that. did it warm up throughout the game?
January 6th, 2010 at 8:00 AM
i saw him taking BP during halftime
January 6th, 2010 at 8:02 AM
I’m glad the Fox-College Football partnership is done.
I will be floored if Dick Stockton calls a football game next season. (He’s not doing any NFL playoff games, right?)
January 6th, 2010 at 8:07 AM
The national championship is on abc because they have the rose bowl right?
January 6th, 2010 at 8:09 AM
I’ve been saying for years that Stockton has lost his fastball, curveball, slider, etc. Why any network would have him do a game anymore is beyond me, especially when there are many capable p-b-p’ers out there.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:09 AM
yeah mmon
January 6th, 2010 at 8:10 AM
no one has lost it quite like verne lundquist this year. pretty brutal.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:12 AM
but what choices does Fox have? do they put their no 1 NFL team of Buck and Aikman out there to call BCS games? yeeeesh.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:13 AM
the TV has been turned off. terrible pick and i give up. no need to get worked up any more than i already am.
TBL – I warned you that no real gambler would put their bowl season winnings on GT last night.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:13 AM
It’s terrible. Baseball, they can do. The NFL, Terry Bradshaw notwithstanding, they can do. College football, they should stay away from unless they want to commit to covering it year-round.
You are correct.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:16 AM
That’s the whole problem, they really have no “college football” guys, so they stick their lower-level NFL guys out there who probably spend a week watching film of stuff they missed all year while they were doing their real job. It’s akin to not attending a class or reading the material all year and then staying up the night before the final, doing a few lines and trying to memorize everything and get an A.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:16 AM
Fox could have planned ahead, saw that Stockton was having an awful year on the NFL, and found another announcing team.
here’s the stable. pick 2. any two.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Fox_Sports_announcers
you give a pro weeks/months to prepare and they could pull this off.
I would have accepted Jeanne Zelasko.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:18 AM
Zelasko to do play by play? Or to take over studio duties from Frosty Tips?
January 6th, 2010 at 8:19 AM
jimmy johnson would be good
January 6th, 2010 at 8:19 AM
oh, and just so it doesn’t sound like I’m ripping Stockton … i thought Charles Davis was terrible, too.
He seemed surprised that GT wasn’t passing. As Sanders said, the guy skipped the season, tried to cram for a week and he failed the test.
This is a bit crazy, but … How about pairing the GT football play-by-play guy and the Iowa analyst? Or vice versa? You could draw cards to see who gets what duties. At least they’ll know the strategy, personnel, etc
January 6th, 2010 at 8:21 AM
Fox is awful. Just plain awful. This is what happens when you don’t cover a sport, yet you get its biggest games in the end. ESPN will blow them out of the water next year. I can’t wait.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:21 AM
Charles Davis is an abortion.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:21 AM
Verne did have an awful year. He was lost on every field goal, he’s definitely slowing down.
@Miz: At 10pm or so when Myers did that interview, I checked and it was 57.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:22 AM
SO all of you haters of the Big Ten can all go fuck yourselves, right? Go fuck yourselves.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:22 AM
Pam.Ward.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:24 AM
Even I agree with this statement. ESPN does some things well, and college football is #1 on that list.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:24 AM
Are he and Ron Pitts the same person, or is that racist?
January 6th, 2010 at 8:25 AM
40 hours from now, the SEC will have 6 of the first 11 BCS titles.
/just sayin’
January 6th, 2010 at 8:25 AM
hope you are all ready for even more matt millen next year
January 6th, 2010 at 8:25 AM
You can tell wÎth baseball too (TBS) Stockton doesn’t know the plaÝers well. He’s got a great signature voice, and fantastic smokestack hair, but he’s just not good.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:25 AM
They had a great bowl season, but bowls don’t mean shit. I know that bugs people when I say it, but bowls are a completely different entity. They are absolutely nothing like a normal game.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:26 AM
Two Words: Buck. McCarver.
Ick.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:26 AM
I wear mittens sometimes. Better than wearing your old high school WR gloves like this asshole.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:26 AM
33 when I got up early this AM. About 40 now. Had to put the heat on for the first time in about three years
/usually AC is on 24/7/365 here in Hades
January 6th, 2010 at 8:27 AM
gotcha.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:28 AM
I pointed those ridiculous gloves out to my roommate last night. Couldn’t decide if which was worse, the gloves or the down coat draped over his shoulders?
January 6th, 2010 at 8:28 AM
She has no chance of ever doing a BCS game.
He’s much better than anything Fox has.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:29 AM
@Miz: At 10pm or so when Myers did that interview, I checked and it was 57.
gotcha.
Myers grew up in Miami, so he was pussified at an early age

yep. had to scrape the ice off my windshield this morning
January 6th, 2010 at 8:31 AM
I hear ya, the high here today is 47. Then the next two days it’s 45 and 44. In the weather section of the paper it says “cold and windy, cold, still cold.” How in the hell is 47 cold? Everyone should be forced to spend a month living in real winter as a child.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:34 AM
you’re in the Tampa area, right? it hasn’t even frosted yet up here in Jax yet. I think the breeze has kept it from settling.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:34 AM

I walked in to get a bagel at 7 this AM in shorts and a fleece pullover and people looked at me like I escaped from Bellvue. Women were in boots and down coats, hats, gloves, etc.
/growing up in Buffalo’d
January 6th, 2010 at 8:34 AM
about to head to work and it’s 25. the high today is 29. awesome.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:35 AM
Hey TBL, I know it’s too late for the Roundup, but I bet you’ll enjoy this list.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:36 AM
It was 1°F up here this morning. First day above zero in the morning since NYE. It’s a damned heat wave.

HawkEye wins and loses at the same time.

January 6th, 2010 at 8:47 AM
But when the SEC does it, it means they are the worlds best super conference. No, I get it. Makes perfect sense.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:48 AM
Fetchy hasn’t chimed in yet. He’ll win
January 6th, 2010 at 8:50 AM
Its assume everyone here is wearing Freezie Freakies.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:55 AM
Did any of the national media harem (Pat Forde,
The BachelorJess Palmer, Cowherd, etc.) that wouldn’t pick a Big 10 team against St. Christine’s eighth grade football team pick the Big 10 to do any better than 1-6 this season?You can argue that the Big 10 had the best bowl season of any conference. They beat one team playing in its own state, two other conference champions and went head-to-head with the SECs No. 3 team (PSU being Big 10 No. 3) and won.
But, oh yeah, I forgot … when the Big 10 wins bowl games it doesn’t mean shit.
S-E-C, S-E-C.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:56 AM
I think those are receiver gloves. I’m sure Myers just needed the tackified grip to hold the microphone.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:56 AM
But when the SEC does it, it means they are the worlds best super conference. No, I get it. Makes perfect sense.
I seem to recall hearing a lot of that myself, as well as holding up the usual 1-6 bowl record as proof the Big 10 can’t compete with ssspppeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddddd
January 6th, 2010 at 8:57 AM
I had my wife sew a collar, breast pocket, and a few buttons onto a snuggie so I could justify wearing it to work.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:58 AM
Who do you think broadcasts GTech and Iowa games when Fox doesn’t?
January 6th, 2010 at 9:03 AM
Pat Summerall at the Cotton Bowl was better than Stockton, and nowadays Pat calls only one game a year.
January 6th, 2010 at 9:07 AM
The Big Ten went 4-3, and 2 of those 4 wins were against the ACC (which was Pac-10 awful this year). Same record as the Big 12 and percentage points behind the Big East.
That’s adequacy, which I would agree should be the new goal of the Big 10.
January 6th, 2010 at 9:08 AM
Unless the Big Ten has a bad season, then it means that the conference sucks. In other words, only if it fits my pre-determined position.
January 6th, 2010 at 9:10 AM
that’s a good one, Chris. Was going to use that line in the next post.
January 6th, 2010 at 9:11 AM
Did the Big 10 beat any C-USA, WAC, Sun Belt, etc. teams? They beat “THE U” (they transcend conference, ask anyone) and the league’s champion.
Next year, I hope the Big 10 gets a steady diet of Central Florida, Temple and East Carolina.
January 6th, 2010 at 9:15 AM
gods…yes, bowl games don’t mean shit, but when the big 10’s three best teams all beat teams from big conferences and don’t get cakewalks like florida did, it’s an impressive feat that proves that they’re AT LEAST the 3rd best conference in the country.
iowa was beastmode last night, but i guess that doesn’t mean anything because it was a bowl game right? ohio state beat down the pac-10 champ’s front 7, but that was just a moment of time trapped in a vaccuum, right? the bowl games don’t mean as much, but to dismiss them is dumb.
January 6th, 2010 at 9:18 AM
lol @ Big Ten fans defending the quality of the ACC — I’ll have to remember that come BCS season next year … maybe we should have 2 ACC teams instead of 2 Big Ten teams!
I’ll stick by what the RPI tells me, anyway …
January 6th, 2010 at 9:18 AM
b10 and sec have by far the toughest bowl matchups every year. they also play up in most games because they always send 2 teams to the bcs. pac 10 and big east are similar to mac schedules. acc and b12 have solid bowl schedules but far inferior to the big 2.
January 6th, 2010 at 9:21 AM
Percentages dont mean shit to me, look at the quality of wins. I realize bowls are a little funky, but not a single B10 win was against a team that “didnt want to be there.”
Pac10 champ, ACC champ, an ACC team that was/is a national title contender, and a pretty good LSU team.
The losses were all completely expected, NW didnt have any business even going to OT with Auburn. MSU missing 12 players, and Minny without its best player, both still had chances to win.
January 6th, 2010 at 9:22 AM
Big ups to the Big Ten for playing two games on a shitty field that neutralized the opposing team’s speed advantage. Happy now?
January 6th, 2010 at 9:25 AM
That shitty field was the only thing keeping PSU from blowing the doors off LSU.
January 6th, 2010 at 9:28 AM
what’s oregon’s excuse then?

January 6th, 2010 at 9:30 AM
let’s play the bowl games up north next year. and i thought happy was banned?
January 6th, 2010 at 9:30 AM
unlucky uniform combination?
January 6th, 2010 at 9:38 AM
Fail. I’ve always been the first to call bowl results a red herring. Doesn’t matter if you go 7-0 or 0-7. Each game has to be looked at on its own and the games are nothing like a usual game. Why is this so hard to understand?
January 6th, 2010 at 9:44 AM
They do mean something, but touting a 4-3 record and beating GT (not all that great…see what uber-average UGA did to them) shouldn’t warrant parades in the streets. The win over Oregon was a good win, but a lot of people saw that coming. The LSU-PSU game was two mediocre teams battling it out in a horse stable. I would argue the most impressvie performence after OSU was Wisky, yet they could have lost the game in the last minute. The big 10 was a decent leaguue this year, but I don’t think going 4-3 in the bowls is something all that big.
January 6th, 2010 at 10:42 AM
Funny how when the Pac-10 has a good bowl year (2009, i believe 5-0), the bowls are not a good conference barometer, but the Big 11 goes 4-3 and they are now a good conference?
/Big 11 homers suck
January 6th, 2010 at 10:57 AM
Gods- the Wisconsin/Miami game wasn’t nearly as close as the score indicated. Miami got that onside kick late. And for Wisconsin supposedly being a bunch of strong, plodding guys and Miami supposedly all about speed, whoever watched that game would say “nah, brah”.
January 6th, 2010 at 11:47 AM
I know, I watched the entire game. But the fact is for all of the dominantion, Miami had the ball down six on its 40 yard line.
