OT: Terrible Jim Nantz Pun for the National Championship Game
In honor of the game tomorrow, what will Jim Nantz say when the clock reads 0:00???
Some from the past include:
Rock Chalk Championship.
A milestone victory for Arizona
You can leave it to Cleaves
It began in March, ended in April and belongs to May
Butler:
"The Butler has done it!" Way too obvious
UCONN
"A Walk in the park"
Anyone else have anything good they've been thinking up???
We Have A Champion.
Either side.
If I had to bet money on any of them, this would be it. I can hear it echoing in my head right now.
it will probably be "I hate black people"
Hey, now. He doesn't "hate" "all" "black people." He is just "scared" of "the black people who don't act like rich suburban white people."
So there's that.
you know like Grant Hill.
"Unlike any other, the Master's on CBS"
Put that trophy on your Shelvin ... Mack that is.
If UConn wins
"See, cheaters do prosper."
that is pretty clever, GUS jOHNSON...please CBS.
I would think he's dying to work in a Butler Cabin reference.
It's a dog eat dog title game or something along those lines
I hate that guy, but oh well, I'll play along:
With the final bumping up so close to the Masters, doesn't the guy feel obliged to make a Butler Bulldogs/Butler cabin reference?
Damn I hate that guy... oh wait, I already said that.
"Apparantly you can teach an old dog new tricks, Butler has won a National Championship!"
If Butler wins, there will be mom, apple pie, or heartland references. If UConn wins, he will go with the perseverence theme. I don't think I'll be watching tonight, though. I just don't have a "dog" in this fight. I don't think I have anyone I rooted for has won since the Sweet Sixteen. The post-Wrestlemania RAW will probably be more fun.
Plz?
Edge retained, Cody Rhodes won, Randy orton won, santinos team beat the corre, undertaker won, snookie won, miz retained, lawler won then the decision got changed because of stone cold and Michael Cole won
then PLEASE root for UConn.
What did Aunt Jemima say to Fat Albert when he stole her grits?"
Clark Kellogg - "Damn it, Jim! What did I tell you about that shit! Don't make me bitch slap yo honkey ass on national TV!"
U-CONN DO IT!
"And the Duke Blue Devils take home the championship once again!"
That has already been used by the NYT or some similar outfit.

I blame Chris Berman for all this. He and ESPN have been a mixed blessing. I appreciate some cleverness with sports reporting, but too much is too much.
The worst thing about it is that the best "calls" are off the cuff (e.g, "do you believe in miracles?," "I don't believe what I just saw," "the Giants win the pennant!"). Nobody remembers Nantz' calls, other than the fact that they exist and are horrifically corny.
Doesn't matter what he says if the TV is muted.
The Huskies/Bulldogs are going to Disney World!
My money's definitely on "The Butler has done it!" because it's the dumbest thing possible. Call it Nantz's Law
A Second Bite at the Title.
"Somebody put this dog to sleep."
Seriously.
Someone needs to kill Jim Nantz.
Either winner: "DM called and said to get the fuck off his court!".
Where did this tsunami of Jim Nantz internet hate come from all of a sudden?
The vitriol probably comes from his comments about the Fab Five during the Duke game.
And, his comments about the Fab five during the OSU game during the Big Ten Tourney.
1. loves his own stupid attempts at "Vin Scully-esque" poetic description (he's unoriginal)
2. subtle racism
3. reminds us too much of Billy Packer's hate for the world and all things Michigan
4. He hates Michigan
5. "Historic..... Butler Cabin !" ; "I know Freddy Couples" ; "Gosh I love Duke."
I just think the guy tries too hard to be what he isn't. Also doesn't seem to make any real contributions to the actual game itself.
Anyone notice he was bumped in the UConn post-game interview and stumbled a bit? (He he.. I chuckle to myself)
The internet is just gradually making things like talking about how awful announcers are relevant again.
The Fab 5 thing has pissed off Michigan fans. Also, I think Bill Simmons' love of Gus Johnson has made people think about announcers in general a little more and Nantz really is the anti-Gus.
If it's Butler, it'll probably be something built off of Bulldogs and underdogs having bite or something. Even he sees the "Butler did it" is too easy.
Otherwise, for UConn, "Yes we Kemba"
Jim Nantz ruins the Masters. I just can't stand him.
THANK YOU. Man I have to mute the TV when Johnny Miller is on, but WOW Nantz is not that far behind him. I mean if I have to hear...a tradition unlike any other..one more time I may start to mute the masters which I would hate since it's my favorite golf tournament by far. How awkward does he make the butler cabin interview every year??
it's the Butler! Here in Reliant! With the [2011 NC trophy]!"
In a dog eat dog world...it is the underdog Butler that gets the last bite.
"UConn couldn't hold off the battling Bulldogs on this Monday Night in Houston. For all of the CBS Basketball Crew,this is Jim Nantz signing off, getting ready to go suck Coach K's KOK!!!"
"Huskies are the top dog in 2011"
<br>
<br>We were all wrong.
<br>"We knew it was going to be a dog fight but the Huskies end up best in show"
<br>
<br>Barkleys comment about ugly chicks was way better
I've been on the record on this here forum as defending Nantz and calling him legit.
I can't defend what he said. It was so cheezy.
UCONN IS TOP DOG
Hey he made a pun with dog hahahahahahahaha
He is the only guy that does this, Musburger, Michaels...even Buck don't use dumb puns like that. If Butler won you get this feeling he yells
THE BUTLER DID IT
It's not funny, it's stupid
Just say they're won the championship like a regular person
Head exploded into a million little pieces when I heard the top dog remark. It's time to give Mr. Nantz away to a nice farm family as far as I'm concerned.
