Funny Things Eli Gold and Phil Savage Said During the 2010 Iron Bowl

The other night, I was discussing with some friends how I could probably watch the 2010 Auburn-Alabama game 500 times and still enjoy it. So how does good old CSS reward me for a day of hard work when I get home? A full replay of the Iron Bowl. Not only that, but a version I've never seen before: the Crimson Tide Sports Network version. Here are a few things Eli and Phil said during the game that I find humorous or amusing in hindsight. It is 50-50, you know? (ed.: some may be paraphrased; I don't have Tivo, and I'm not a very quick typer)

• "As the sun begins to sink down and peep through the clouds, Bear is saying, 'Get this cloud out of here, I'm ready to watch some football'" -Eli
• "You have to control yourself in big games like this and Nick Fairley didn't right there." -Phil, after the Fairley unsportsmanlike penalty, but before McElroy gave Auburn fans the finger
• "Staunch crimson-clad defense forces Newton to unload the ball or take a sack" -Eli
• "McElroy wisely tosses the ball out of bounds" -Eli
• "Talk about kryptonite to Cam Newton, how does 21-0 sound?" -Phil
• "................................." -Eli, regarding the Adams catch ruled out of bounds
• "...Ziemba, who is making a forgettable 50th start." -Phil
• "Alabama doing an unbelievable job tonight" -Phil, after the first play of the second half
• "O brother..." -Eli, after the second play of the second half
• "[Alabama's defense] seems to have lost their zip as to knowing what plays are coming" -Phil, some point during the 3rd qtr, who seemed to notice the same thing I did
• "The game is on now. Alabama's offense has to score" -Phil, at 4:25 in the 3rd, who seemed to notice something we knew at 14:04 in the 3rd
• "How many times over the years, have we seen special teams play a role in the Iron Bowl?" -Eli, after the Carr fumble
• "Well that was a big loss right there" -Phil, 4 plays later
• "Grandma, get your heart medicine ready. It's going to be one of those finishes." -Eli
• "[Auburn scores] on the Rolex/ Bromberg's scoring drive... and the Tigers lead 28-27" -Eli
• "Well that's overcoming adversity..." -Phil, regarding Bama picking up an inch during Auburn's 24-0 comeback in a particularly rude Bryant-Denny Stadium
• "You know, I don't want to say we told you so...." -Eli
• "I never believed in a million years, up 24-0 that Alabama would lose by one point 28-27" -Phil
• "Seeing the aftermath, the Auburn team celebrating on your logo, on your home field, it's salt in the wound." -Phil

Sure, you could probably do that for any team's announcers knowing the results of a game, but it's just so much more fun with them.
