What is your most hated, stupid sports sayings.

[Abney2House]

I went to the blue and white scrimmage earlier this year and realized how much I hate the announcer saying who scored after every bucket.

Guess I'm getting old

How do you not like that? “Basket byyyyyy Sparks, assist to Rondo!”

Gets old super fast when it's every time down the floor. Plus the NKU guys I listened to at the blue and white scrimmage kept trying to put a spin on it.

That reminded me of "Fly is open! Fly is open!" (for Fly Williams)

EDIT

I forgot the best part of the cheer. "Fly is open! Go Peay"

The Fly is open, let’s go Peay!!

Anything and everything Bill Rafftery says

Everything that man says is cringey. He opens the tip with gibberish, says stupid catchphrases the whole time, and I cannot wait until the day he retires.

Somehow Raftery overshadows my annoyance at Vitale. Vitale just goes on and on about any thing that has entered his head at that moment, almost forgetting a basketball game is currently on that he's supposed to be talking about. But by all accounts Vitale is an exemplary human being and his passion for basketball can make it forgiveable.

On another note, I like Jimmy Dykes but that's because he's very biased towards UK and so am I.

"Dropping dimes" when describing assists. Did someone call the popo?

 

[aikenite4uk]

Another one that annoys me is the overusage of the word "iconic." Pebble Beach is one of the most iconic venues in the world...Phog Allen is an "iconic" venue. Ad nausem.

Yesterday it was “he’s every bit of 6’6”. How many times did he say that?
That one and “dropped a dime”. Sounds like a drug deal.

String Music!

That was great. I was seven and wouldn't have got it.

"A little string music in Lexington K - Y!"

Hated it.

Hard to Guard
Guard your Yard

 

[sportspm]

I admit I’m old but what does “too small” mean? Just like your too small to guard me?

 

[Cat06]

"FIRST DOWN KENTUCKY!"

Should we really treat a first down with more enthisiasum than a Field Goal? Shouldn't we act like we expect to make Fist Downs?

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

"NATTY"

God how I hate that.

Winner. This drives me crazy to hear or see written. Same goes for “Ship.” Just pisses me off.

 

[ConRay9]

Tush push has become popular recently referring to QB sneaks and I can’t stand it.

 

[bigbluedon]

Remember Clark’s “Squirtability” remark? That one (I think) goes back to the 98 team and their ability go on big and fast scoring runs.

It was spurtability.

 

[M4CAT]

People who say "UofK" and "Cayts" make my skin crawl. Also, "Rule of 71".

 

[OneBadCat]

As of tonight…..”know what I’m sayin”

 

[bigbluelou]

“Reed has to start.”

 

[yoshukai]

Back when I was in Junior high our coach was a pretty old dude . He always called a layup a “crip” shot . Drove me nuts .

I remember that too now that you mention it. Takes me back to the elementary school gym. We had a clock with hands on it!

 

[yoshukai]

Thanking God for helping us win

This one drives me nuts. Do people think he micromanages that much ? Would the “Blue Devils” ever win a game?

 

[yoshukai]

Here’s one I’ll bet everyone will agree with ….”opt out“ . Makes me sick . So far it’s just football but the basketball version is probably coming.

 

[azubuikefan]

“Reed has to start.”

I came here for this. 😂

It's different than a regular QB sneak though.

You don’t remember when we only won two games a year
