I know, it was just killing me. I was yelling SNAP THE FUCKING BAAAAALLLLL!" all night. Verne even commented on it.
Dedication, baby. And just a intense, deep hatred of the TV commentators.
Yep she is right there on the sidelines and the team tells her stuff they don't tell the TV people.
You can stream my local one, all you need is a computer. 95.7, the Kar. KARX-FM Claude-Amarillo.
I was having way too good of a time to leave the game, and come in here and post at DCU or I woulda told y'all. I was surprised too - they had a recording, Brad Sham introducing Verne, with a ton of Verne's old radio calls of past Cowboys big plays, it was awesome. Was really, really glad I hooked my shit up this night. Sham finally said, "And now, the all-time classic voice of the Dallas Cowboys, Verne Lundquist!"
It was great, man. Really nostalgic. And he did his usual great job. There's nothing like the gravitas he brings, even when he says, "We'll be right back after this station timeout, this is Dallas Cowboys Football!"
It actually worked very well, Babe knew he was in the presence of a all-time legend and was not as babbly. He did get Verne laughing though, when he said, "This is a historic night - it's the first time a man named Babe and a man named Verne ever did anything together!"
Oh and at the end, when Dallas was driving for that final score, we heard the Verne of years' past come out, yelling the play by play as only he can, he was getting legitimately excited again. Like the old days.
Having Verne on the radio really took the edge off me for the game, for the first time since the 90s i was actually just happy to be watching a Cowboys game and wasn't nearly as bitchy about what I was seeing than normal. And this in a game where there was a LOT to be bitchy about.
