I'm watching the Wisconsin v. Illinois game and I just heard the annoucers correctly use the principle of advantage/disadvantage in their commentary.

I think hell's frozen over

I think that Billy Packer is working that game. The world never ceases to amaze me.

I doubt it's Packer, remember the anncouncer correctly interpreted the rule and situation.

I just checked with my brother who is watching with me. At the begining of the game the names on the screen were Billy Packer and someone else.

*edit: the other person is Jim Nance (I think that's how you spell it)

You were right, it was Packer, and it sounds like it was his voice that made the comment about advantage disadvantage.

Dear God, Something's definately not right
