odhgibo Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I caught the tail end of one of ESPN's dozens of tournament-related shows. It ended with a compilation of highlights of teams that had been discussed. I think French's slightly odd end-of-game call was used as a voiceover near the end of the montage (without attribution, of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipsfan33 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Frenchy's wife is named Marsha. So knowing that, the call made sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akzipper Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I thought it was a reference to Martha and the Vandellas song "Dancing in the streets" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDZip Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Figured this is as good a place as any to place "dancing" related info. ESPN had a montage of every coach with a snippet of a conversation with Andy Katz. Keith's snippet was "He could coach my team or I could coach his team" or something close to that. Think I can guess what that was in reference to. Shaka's was "Every team that makes the NCAA tournament is good". Think I can guess what that was from too. Still hate that we are matched up with VCU but they've had a nice spotlight for the last few years, I will be OK if we have to turn it off for one tournament.

MDZip Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Always found these find of entertaining where they list the famous alums of the participating schools. Of course Akron got Jason Taylor, who I'm fine with. Black Keys would have been a nice choice since they chose attended rather than graduated. But they didn't take all positive ones - Villanova got stuck with disgraced NBA referee Tim Donaghy and they chose Jim Jones of the People's Temple mass suicide in 1978 for Butler.

Akron in the Sweet 16!! ...of celebrity fan ranking. An obvious pick though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
