Related: About this forumI thought I'd heard every dumbass thing a football announcer could possibly say
Then I heard this, during last night's Michigan-Virginia Tech game:
"And tomorrrow night, Clemson takes on another team from the state of Virginia -- West Virginia!"
Oh, and Go 'Eers!

After Virginia seceded, the western counties in and across the Blue Ridge seceded right back from Virginia and rejoined the Union. Originally the new state was to be called Kanawha, after one of its major rivers. That would've helped Mr. Nessler out considerably.
