When not portraying rubber-faced Ernest P. Worrell, that Jim Varney was a handsome fellow.

I ain’t calling a grown man “Sauce.”

Lee Corso doesn’t seem healthy. Probably in his best interest for him not to be on GameDay regularly anymore.

Wrap the remaining Bruins in bubble wrap!

It’s like King Pyrrhus said, “another such victory and I will have two wins so far this season.”
