Chris Schenkel was awesome!  Didn't he broadcast at one time with Bud Wilkinson?  He later went on to broadcast bowling tournaments on ABC.

Yes, he worked a lot with Bud Wilkinson. Among the big games Schenkel called were the big Nebraska-Oklahoma game of 1971 and the Arkansas-Texas game for the national championship in 1969.

He did the bowling along with the football, then moved on from football and Keith Jackson took over as the main college football guy.

Schenkel also was known for this quote: "NCAA college football--what better way to spend an Autumn afternoon?"

Who was known for this? "That punt is draggin' it's tail and it's gonna be downed after only 35 yards at the 46 yard line." I'm focusing on the "draggin' it's tail" part, which he said hundreds of times.

A sports media person appeared on his radio show a few hours after Robert Kennedy's assassination.  He said, "The name of this program is Speaking of Sports.  But today I cannot speak of sports..."  He then went on with a eulogy about Robert Kennedy. 

After the program, a listener complained, "Just give the scores.  That's what you're paid for."

Name this sports media person.  A reminder that you are not supposed to use internet searches to find this out.

Gotta be a Southern guy, so I'm going with Bill Curry on that one.

Sidebar - Curry and Ron Franklin were a great tandem.

Totally agree.  I loved to listen to Curry call a game.  He actually taught you things about the game of football by explaining why a play worked or didn't work in a way that a non-expert could understand.  I sometimes watched games he was covering that I had no real interest in just to learn a little bit about the game.

Who said, "They can play football in Athens until Hell freezes over and they still won't deserve the championship."  (This is from memory, so the quote may be slightly paraphrased, but it's real close.)

The Miami coach from 1968. Was that Schembechler?

L.C., I'm pretty sure you're correct that it's Schembechler, but I'll let OCF weigh in with decision.

Yes, you are correct it was Bo, when he was coach at that school in Oxford.  One of the teams that Ohio had played to and lost earlier in the season had to forfeit the game to Ohio.  I believe they used an ineligible player.  I think the team was Kent.  As a result OHIO became co-champions that year, and Bo blew his stack.
