Brent Musburger and Kirk Herbstreit, ABC/ESPN’s top college football announcing team, will call both the Rose Bowl and Bowl Championship Series title game, Michael Hiestand writes. Hiestand, who calls the move the "obvious play," says the moves will be formally announced Friday. Hiestand also writes that Fox will use three NFL pairings on BCS games: Thom Brennaman and Brian Billick, calling his first college game, on the Sugar Bowl; Sam Rosen and Tim Ryan on the Fiesta Bowl; and Dick Stockton and Charles Davis on the Orange Bowl.

If Brent Musberger mentioned Mark Ingram’s father being incarcerated one more time, I was going to throw up. Who wants to hear that during a Rose Bowl game? Championship football games, rather all athletic events, should not be a venue for sportscasters to talk about any player’s father, mother, sister, brother, or other relative’s problems with the law. It’s sickening. Stick to the game plays.
