"This Wazzu defense came up big against Cal tonight."

Somebody is getting paid to talk on TV about something as narrow in scope as the football season of 12 teams. I genuinely can't even fathom being so bad at a job that is so fucking easy.
 
I also wonder how it's even possible that announcers mispronounce names.

"Here's your job: Remember how to pronounce about 100 names. You have six days. Go."

Not only that, they usually have a kid from the AD sitting behind them as a spotter telling them things like how to pronounce names correctly
 
Holy shit. Now I'm watching highlights from the UCLA/Stanford game. Stanford quarterback taking the snap: "DTR, takes the snap. Throws to [Stanford receiver's name]. Touchdown!"

Funny thing is that you could hear a pause. Like he's thinking, "Man... this doesn't seem right. Fuck it, I'm already into the call... just go with it." I want to say he said "DTR" twice during the same Stanford highlight.
