Check your timing

[Mark Padgett]

We've had threads on this board before about how to practice your timing of 10 second, 5 second and 3 second calls. I've got it figured out. I was watching an old game on cable and Billy Packer was doing the commentary. It occurred to me that he said something stupid every second. I recorded the game and played it back, practicing my one-second timing against his stupid comments. It worked out perfectly. I would highly recommend doing this.

Of course, after listening to him for a while, you'll need meds.

Wow, for some reason, after reading your post, I could swear I could hear a roar of approval that sounded eerily like the roar at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln after the Huskers scored.

Only problem is, Mark, we won't have Billy Packer to listen to anymore! Oh, wait, that's not a problem...

Although this reply isn't going to follow the anti-Packer vein, I did see a college official this week, while channel-surfing, that did his backcourt count with his fingers instead of the arm back and forth. He clearly did 1 finger, then 2, then 3, then 4, then all five, then started over with his thumb for 6 seconds and so on. Haven't ever seen that before, but I guess no one could really mistake what number he would be on.

Anyone else do this?

Obviously you're watching this in HD.
