Title: Raftery
Post by: bigmeech on March 29, 2013, 01:57:28 PM
Under a minute left in the first half, Lundquist brings up the Marjerus/Al patches on the unis...

"Both guys, good friends of mine... I went to speak at Al's banquet and Rick picked me up... I called my wife 2 days later, said, 'I don't know where I am... I've been kidnapped'...I had such a good time with the two of them....'"

Verne in hysterics... I'm guessing he's heard the full version of the story before.

Love hearing that kinda stuff.

Another line from last night:

"They wouldn't call that foul in the tavern league!  Not that I know about the tavern leagues."

ONIONS!

Raftery is without a doubt the best color man in the business.  He'd make a grade school game entertaining.

Very entertaining IMO. Plus he is a big MU guy. Goes way back with Al and has always been fair to MU.

The fat jokes he was making about Gardner got old after a while.

Agree with this

However, I chuckled at the following exchange (paraphrased).

Raftery: Marquette is not known as a good outside shooting team
Lundquist: You're being awfully kind with that assessment
Raftery: I know. I sound like I'm related to them.

I liked when they returned from a break and one of the ESPN knuckleheads said, "Now back to Verne and his side of onions"
