George Blaha and Jim Miller call the fake FG to beat the Irish in overtime at Spartan Stadium
One more way to relive The Fake for those of us who were either at the stadium or watching on TV. (HT: Rexrode)
Also: Aaron Bates is the most deserving Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week since, like, EVER.

Another stat that shouldn't get lost in the fake
Bates is averaging 45.8 yards per punt, good for 13th nationally. It seems he’s getting more hang time on his punts this year, which has been a problem for him in years past.
I don't know what's better....
….Blaha’s very matter-of-fact “oh they’ll fake it”, or hearing Jim Miller (I’m assuming it’s him) and others yelling joyously in the background.
Miller
I love the guy, but he must have an involuntary reflex where he jumps on Blaha’s call when a big play happens (see: Caper’s OT run against UM last year).
Blaha: Dan Conroy with the biggest kick of his life. Oh they’ll fake it. Bates…throws it.
Miller: He’s got him!
Classic.

See also the Purdue game last year
On Colin Neely’s sack to end the game:
Blaha: "He takes the shotgun snap, chased by Neely . . . "
Miller: “WHAT A PLAY!”
Blaha: “Tripped up by Colin Neely! Colin Neely’s got ’im!”
PP-TPW.

Yeah, they should have a reverse-cough-button for those kind of guys.
As we call it in the military, a “Push-to-talk” button. Where he has to consciously open his mike to say something.
Another memorable example was a Cubs broadcast years ago where the left fielder — I can’t remember his name — dropped a routine fly ball that would have clinched a playoff spot. All you could hear was Ron Santo yelling “NOOOOOOOOO” in despair.
Goosebumps
That play will bring goosebumps to me the rest of my life. I will tell my grand kids that me and your grandma where there. Sparty On !!
