"You Got That Right"

Question for the night: Is Brent Musburger still obsessed with Tom Izzo’s every move and is he making Erin stalk him?
Answer: Yes. He had Erin stationed at the scorer’s table right behind Izzo and made sure she was in every one of his huddles. Brent was also pretty obsessed with Wisconsin’s Michael Flowers, who shut down Drew Neitzel.
Bonus question: Can Tom Izzo and the Spartans derail the Ryan Express?
Answer: No. The odds of Wisconsin having a piece of the conference championship are pretty good now.

The game was in Madison, Wisconsin, thus Brent was totally wasted, and perhaps Erin was too (she and Brent were suggesting this during the game without actually saying it was true).

Whenever Brent and Steve do a Wisconsin game you know you’re going to hear a lot about Brian Butch, the Polar Bear because I think Brent thinks he is best friends with the Polar Bear. Brent wants to be Brian Butch’s agent and is also in love with him. The polar bear was “shredding the nets” from the 3 point line. As a certain drunken announcer would say, the polar bear was loose. “He’s like a guard in a polar bear’s body.” – Steve.

Brent and Steve got a little bored with 1 minute left in the 1st half and they talked about the weather in Madison. We found out that Brent and Steve drove from Milwaukee to Madison on Wednesday night. I can’t believe ESPN lets Brent drive!!! I can’t believe a rental car company rents a car to him!!!

Even more evidence that Brent was wasted: Going into a commercial Brent said Cincinnati was winning the game.

Classic LavinBurger last night. This was their best performance of the season so far. Here is an excerpt and the YouTube video:

“You always have my back. If I have a Myspace I’m putting you as my best friend.” – Steve
“I can’t wait to see Erin Andrews on Youtube tonight…I mean I always look to see. I mean she’s the star attraction over there. She’ll have 2,000 hits by midnight.” –Brent
“Absolutely. She carries us.” – Steve
“You got that right.” –Brent
Cut to Erin looking completely embarrassed.
Brent and Erin then talk about how Brent looks better than Erin tonight.
“You two broke curfew last night, but why not, Madison is such a great town.” –Brent
Brent then starts talking about the bars in Madison, in particular, the Nitty Gritty. Steve then talks about how Brent sets up his office at one of the bars whenever he comes to town.



I give this conversation extra points for the continuity with last year’s Michigan State vs Michigan game where Brent and Steve made another Erin Andrews/Youtube/bar comment. I wonder if Brent and Steve are getting paid to mention YouTube so many times?

Whenever ESPN inadvertently shows Erin Andrews (like when they are showing one of the coaches and Erin happens to be sitting behind him), Erin always looks bored to death and like she doesn’t care about basketball at all. Maybe last night it was just because she was hungover from partying all night at Brent’s “office.”

By the end of the game, Brent and Steve were completely out of their minds. They had totally forgotten that they were at a basketball game and on national television and they just said whatever they wanted. They talked about how much they hated the Roger Clemens investigation and don’t want to hear about it anymore, and how Rocky supposedly used steroids. Brent was devastated about these accusations.

Breaking news 2 years from now: Brent Musburger busted for sexual harassment of Erin Andrews.

This game featured 2 evenly matched teams that play basketball the way it was meant to be played. Just like Brent and Steve said, it’s old fashioned basketball, and no one does old fashioned better than the Badgers. Only 1 turnover for the Badgers last night, a school record. You win if you take care of the ball. The Badgers are a team that makes good decisions and rarely makes mistakes.

Final score: #9 Wisconsin: 57, #15 Michigan State: 42
It was a great game, but the game was overshadowed by the crazy, drunken conversations Brent and Steve had. Fine by me.

“A good one here tonight. The Badgers prevail, my friend.” –Brent Musburger
