I'm sure all you Austin guys have lots more pet peeves with Craig Way's broadcasting, but here's one of mine: identifying the metropolitan area where the player's high school is....

"from McNeil in Round Rock in the greater Austin area"
"from Aldine in the greater Houston area"
"from Plano in the greater Dallas area"

plus he repeats it during the course of the game.

Someday I expect him to say "from Cameroon in the Southwest Africa area."

I realize this is picky, but, hey, I started this when we had no tv coverage...and now it goes away just when there's a technical called!

Go Horns!

Hook'em!!!

About 99.9% of Cameroon is north of the center point in Africa.

Edit: Sorry, I was eyeballing that on a globe. It turns out all of Cameroon is north of the center point of Africa.
