(AP)  ABC Sports' play-by-play man Brent Musburger was cited by Lincoln police Saturday evening for having an open container of alcohol in a vehicle and drinking from it, a police captain said Sunday. Capt. Allen Soukup said Musburger was cited at 6:10 p.m. Saturday on a public street just west of Memorial Stadium. Musburger was a passenger in the car and was drinking a beer, Soukup said  a Budweiser. Musburger, 66, had just finished broadcasting the Huskers' game against the University of Pittsburgh.

aumoore 0 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 $144 fine for dringing a beer as a passanger in a car in Lincoln, NE? Guess the Huskers police force needs to raise money for the football team to buy some Memphis Football players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,798 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Get 'em Husker police. Musberger rivals Corso as the biggest joke on Saturdays. Unfortunately, we see The Mouse other days too. Remember when Jimmy The Greek punked Mouse during an argument off the air during a commercial? That must have been like clocking Conan O'Brien. The Mouse has a scripted sheet of cliches for the game as he thinks it will turn out (e.g. a list of hero, personal interest stories about the "legendary" home team he thinks will win). If the game doesn't go as he expects, he's hilariously lost. I've never heard anybody misuse "genius" and legendary" so many times in 3 hours. Jom Donnan was a genius to this guy and Frank Beamer is legendary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
