Last yr I finished my FB/JVB set and stayed to watch the V game.

I went into the locker at half time with the officials and among my questions and comments I asked about a particular backcourt call the "PA announcer announced." I said it didn't look that close to me. He looked at me and smiled and said - "That's because I signaled a carry!" :rolleyes: Hmmm.....

More common in football probably than basketball is to have the PA guy act like he is on the radio. The problem comes when he announces on the personal foul for face mask that it's an automatic first down. Then when the five guys in the stripes on the field don't give a first down, they must be the ones who are wrong.
