Forgive Him, Lord, for an Announcer with a Fantastic Accent has Counted his Chickens before they Hatched
By Tully Corcoran
The voice in this here clip comes from Tom Jenkins, calling a basketball game between Division II Young Harris and Montavello, when Young Harris made a buzzer-beater from all the way on its own end of the court.
A transcript if you can’t watch:
"Missed free throw, we still got a chance at the buzzer. Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh my goodness! Yes! Yes! Yes! Forgive me, Lord, I counted my chickens before they hatched! We knocked down a 3-pointer! It is tied! Point-six seconds when he nailed it! People were already leaving the building! They’re coming back in!"
But you really gotta turn the sound on. It’s a delightful accent that will fill you with glee.
