Booger McFarland gives crazy bikini analogy to analyze Alabama vs. Tennessee, Dan Orlovsky reacts

ESPN’s Booger McFarland has been a true blessing over the years, delivering some of the more hilarious quotes you’ll ever get to see from a football analyst. And he was back to his normal form on Saturday, when he gave college football fans yet another gem when he was breaking down Alabama and Tennessee.

During the halftime show on Saturday night, McFarland said, “Stats are like bikinis. They show some things, but not all things.” Here is the video below. Dan Orlovsky couldn’t stop laughing.

McFarland has a gift of speaking in unfiltered fashion and it’s truly a breath of fresh air when it comes to the world of broadcast television. Everything is so carefully scripted, manicured, etc. And that’s what makes McFarland so much fun to watch talk about different games across the country. It’s fresh, entertaining, natural, and hilarious at certain moments.

Tennessee fires up victory cigars after Alabama win

When the clock hit zeroes on Tennessee’s victory over Alabama at Neyland Stadium on Saturday, it was time for one of the great traditions in college football. Cigar smoke filled the air as fans fired them up – including one with checkerboard wrapping.

The celebration began following a Jalen Milroe interception, sealing Tennessee’s 24-17 victory in the annual Third Saturday in October game. Cigars have become a staple of the matchup as each team has them ready for a potential victory.

Once Tennessee got the game-sealing pick, lighters and matches started to light up. It’s sure to be a night to remember on Rocky Top after the Volunteers picked up their second victory over Alabama in three seasons.
