Listen to a College Basketball Announcer Freak Out Over an Easy Layup

Ever since basketball announcers like Gus Johnson and Bill Raftery made it popular to lose their minds during calls, many aspiring announcers have tried their best to emulate their heroes.

Bucknell play-by-play man Doug Birdsong was calling a game against Dartmouth when former Patriot League player of the year Mike Muscala put in a routine lay-up and got fouled.

The layup sent Birdsong into a freakout, reacting to the shot as if it were in the last :01 of the NCAA championship game.
