This is a stupid thing to be annoyed about, but I hate when, in conversation, people call a university by a term that means a different university. I actually had a coworker (a dude who didn't really watch sports) tell me how bad LSU was gonna get beat by "Florida" because they were ranked #1 when in reality it was Florida State that was ranked that high (in 2014 or whenever). I don't know if UF was even ranked at the time.

Leading up to the 07 championship game, I wanted to slap people who kept talking about "Ohio" vs. LSU.

There are plenty of recent examples I've heard: Texas, Texas Tech and Texas A&M, Michigan and Michigan State, OU and Okie State.

It's like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Smalls : I was gonna put the ball back.

Squints : But it was signed by Babe Ruth!

Smalls : Yeah, you keep telling me that! Who is she?

Ham Porter : WHAT? WHAT?

Sportstalk caller trade proposals.

I remember on Buddy D's show in the early 2000s, a caller asked Buddy why the Saints didn't offer Aaron Brooks and a first round draft pick for Peyton Manning.

I had a friend ask me if Bobby Bowden was doing a good job.

This was a few years after he retired, and this guy was in Pike at FSU

"How long have you been a black quarterback?" Reportedly asked of Doug Williams shortly before he became the first black QB to win a Superbowl.

Why are we wasting our time looking at other college coaches when we already have the one we need?!

Anyone remember that scene in one of those Air Bud movies where the woman called a touchdown a home run?

That may not be considered a question, but still though...

I had a girlfriend who said she knew football pretty well but didn't understand the whole "downs" thing.

Why are a kick through the uprights and a ball in the hoop both called field goals?



No, really, I’m asking...
