ND/ USC IN GAME
- Thread starter the addict
- Start date
Go take a look at the second half tape or stats. They were overrun and them couldn't get a yard in 4 tries. It wasn't about talent, it was about 'want to' and that's what ND excels in.

Nestled deep inside the Internets, wisely hidden from women and small children, lives a game so treacherous and trying that it borders on the movie version of Jumanji. This is hardly a boy's game -- many young men fall victim to its ruthless fury with each passing college football season. This challenge requires the ear of a rabbit, the patience of a dead horse and the liver of John Daly. Only a penitent man will pass.
Folks, let's talk about the Brent Musburger Drinking Game (BMDG).
Years ago, a wise man -- perhaps Einstein -- decided that Musburger's catch phrases and in-game mannerisms could be interesting fodder for a drinking game. And right he was.
But since then, the game has mutated into several different versions -- like the common cold -- and as the football landscape has changed and announcing "pardners" replaced, the sanctity and accuracy of the BMDG has taken a major hit. Additionally the game rules -- in their present, complicated, and esoteric form -- almost require at least one person to stay sober, hampering the overall experience.
So with the Big 12 Championship Game looming, I've taken it upon myself to save the BMDG from extinction by creating a standard set of easy-to-follow rules and revisions. And though I CANNOT claim most as my own original ideas, you probably won't care after one half of debauchery. That is, if you're still alive.

DRINK ONE (1) IF MUSBURGER ...
- Says the word "FOLKS"
- Is shown on camera
- Uses the word "FIRES!" instead of "THROWS" on a pass play (Be advised: Musburger says this on nearly every pass play)
DRINK TWO (2) IF MUSBURGER ...
- Recites the hometown or high school of a player
- Utters the phrase "IN THE COLLEGE GAME" (i.e. -- "Pass interference is a 15-yard penalty IN THE COLLEGE GAME")
- Says the phrase "LOOKING FOR DAYLIGHT"
DRINK FIVE (5) IF MUSBURGER ...
- Invents a special nickname for a player (i.e., in 2003 Kansas State running back Darren Spoules become "The Little Tank")
- References the title sponsor of the specific broadcast (Saturday's sponsor is Dr. Pepper)
PASS OUT TEN (10) DRINKS IF ...
- Musburger references another football conference (or any of its teams, players, or coaches) and you correctly name every mascot of said conference before anyone else in your party
SANCTION AN ARM WRESTLING MATCH BETWEEN TWO PARTICIPANTS IF ...
- Musburger says "BIG FELLA" (Loser of said wrestling match must finish his drink)
FINISH YOUR DRINK IF MUSBURGER ...
- Yells the phrase "IT'S A FOOT RACE" in the midst of a long run towards the goal line
- Calls out "TOUCHDOWN" before a player actually scores
