At The Half
On a day when my Sooners have misfired but have made enough plays to lead, it seems appropriate that their longtime radio play-by-play man Bob Barry Sr., who has a great set of pipes (but doesn't call a great game anymore), has come down with some sort of odd laryngitis that he did not have early in the game and is now CROAKING out commentary.
Weird day. Weird game.
(Update) The Sooners have scored two fairly quick touchdowns (one on offense, one on defense) early in the second half, and Bob Barry's voice seems to have recovered somewhat. Very strange.
(Update 2) Towards the end of the third quarter, the Sooners have gotten sloppy again, and Barry's voice has died again. They had to bring the sideline reporter upstairs to take over play by play. Bizarro.
(Update 3) An Adrian Peterson touchdown seems to have put this one out of reach finally. However, the sideline reporter is still doing the play by play. I think the crappy play early may have killed Bob Barry. Expectations have risen since the John Blake days.
