re: This goes back a ways...How many of you remember John Ferguson....

I could never tell how much yardage the tigers had gained with Ferguson. We would pick up 3 yards and he'd make it sound like a 20 yard burst. The other team would gain 20 and he made it sound a 3 yard pickup.

Remember that well! We used to guess the yardage before he said where the ball was spotted. (It would have made a good drinking game, now that I think about it.)

I used to see Scarse fishing at Old River with his shirt off a big straw hat and a red face and I'm sure a cold beer

My dad used to fish with him sometimes, and I know for a fact that it was more than "A" cold beer. When he was on the 6PM news, he showed a pic of me at about age 9 with a huge "big mouth black bass" I'd caught on a set hook. Man, I thought I was famous!
