Robbie Hummel is sexier than Tim Tebow

Raftery and O'Brien can barely hide the man-love. He and Tebow should have a cancer-curing contest followed by a footrace across Lake Huron.

That was the best part of the evening - the kid is wearing this face mask for a minor injury that happened weeks ago, and Harris is just abusing him, but the announcers kept talking about how gritty he was for being out there. This is not Willis Reed struggling through a game on a badly-injured leg; the kid broke his nose. I'm sure the area is sensitive, but the announcers were acting like the mask was holding his face on.

Raftery was so bad that someone in the production booth must have called attention to it, because he used the phrase "not to favor one team or the other, BUT..." in the second half. Then, O'Brien went out of his way to say something good about UM. I started watching about five minutes late, and wondered if they had somehow had a technical difficulty, and had to patch in the Purdue announcers' call of this game. I was particularly irritated that Raftery was calling non-existent fouls on UM players but referred to legit fouls that were called on Purdue players as "ticky-tack" and "small change." It was pretty cool listening to them try to make up for it during the last three minutes, though.....

I could have sworn that one of the announcers (probably Raftery) called his performance "courageous." Did anyone else hear that? Courageous is jumping on a grenade to save your fellow soldiers. Playing a basketball game with a plastic mask on I am pretty sure is not courageous.
