Is there a bigger homer than Kent Pavelka?

Probably not. I love the guy. Still miss him calling football.
I was late home from work. I about drove through the garage on Tai's last two shot foul. On the 2nd shot he yells "GOT ITTTTTT, OH ITS IN AND OUT!" Come on man.
Yep there is, Paul Allen the radio play by play guy for the Vikings. Close but I'd give PA the nod
How about Kent's call of the NU vs Colorado game in 1994? That was fun to listen to.
Yes...BOB DAVIS, KU....unlistenable....KU has not committed a foul since 1993....
His call of Nebraska beating #1 Missouri at Missouri (the team with Stipo and Sundvold) was priceless. He was going crazy...the fans were pouring beer on him...and he was yelling so loud everyone around him must have thought him crazy.
when are the "BANGARANG" t-shirts coming out? WinkingLaughing
Definitely a huge homer and probably not a better fan around. However, pretty sure I'm in the minority when I say I couldn't stand his play-by-play in FB. The calling out of every five yards on a breakaway (listen to "the run" vs Florida for an example) was excruciatingly painful to hear - and back in that day, we heard it a lot!. Just say "he's gone!"
OU was the "soondoggies", and Colorado was the "buffies". You could tell who the players were he liked, referred to them by first name. The ones he could give a s+!t about were by last name. My favorite call was at the end of the 96 Fiesta. He just starts bagging on the national sports media and Florida. To quote "Gary, the fun and gun is done".

CU game-Terry Connealy. Terry Connealy all over Cordell Stewart. So long Buffaloes!
"Tim Miles has punched our ticket Husker fans, it's time to twerk, let's go dancing!" Still gives me chills, starts at 2:56 mark...
Great post, love seeing those guys get excited and have fun! Need to send this video to every big man prospect we have. Let them know they'll get immediate PT and play with a good team that's building to potentially be very special for this state.<blockquote class="twitter-video" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">"When it's time to attack, he attacks.

I have been to a few big-time sports events the last few years. World series games, baseball playoff games, including some of the epic comebacks and wins by the Royals the last 2 years. Went to a January playoff game in Lambeau in sub-zero temps to see my Niners beat the Packers. But I still rank no-sit Sunday as one of the coolest/funnest enviroments I have ever been apart of in person. Husker fans partied before, during, and after that game. It was like the old days before factions of fans insisted things had to be done a specific way. The 74 year old guy next to us told us on the way out that "I don't ever remember having so much fun". Let's do it again!
The one that kills me is (opponent has ball and is driving for critical hoop): "he TRAVELS!!.........BUT IT ISN'T CALLED!"
"I was late home from work. I about drove through the garage on Tai's last two shot foul. On the 2nd shot he yells "GOT ITTTTTT, OH ITS IN AND OUT!" Come on man."
I watched the replay on that and it was BARELY in and then out, too! I think he might benefit from calling the action a split second after it occurs rather than before.
