Google "David Locke loses it" and you'll find the most honestly exasperated call in the history of radio play-by-play.
If you want to laugh a little more, take Locke's gibberish and apply it to more familiar a setting. Like these 10 passages of OU football in the past decade, for instance...
1 – Landry Jones' Looney Tunes attempt at a pass at Oklahoma State last December. The one Richetti Jones momentarily bobbled because he was laughing so hard, then picked up and ran in for an OSU touchdown.
2 – Bob Stoops sending Jimmy Stevens out for the most predictable field goal fail in BCS championship history, a 49-yarder that Florida stuffed en route to the 2008 title.
3 – Duke Robinson accidentally smooshing Sam Bradford to precipitate OU's 2007 loss at Texas Tech.
4 – Pretty much anything that happened during the last hour of the '07 Fiesta Bowl.
5 – Oregon's onside kick and the Benny Hill sequence that followed at Autzen in '06.
6 – Pretty much anything that happened during the last half-hour in Lubbock in '05
7 – Adrian Peterson's fourth quarter at UCLA in '05.
8 – Mark Bradley freaking out at the tail end of USC's punt in the first quarter of the '05 Orange Bowl.
9 – Jason White overthrowing oh-so-lonesome Kejuan Jones at the tail end of the '04 Sugar Bowl.
10 – Nate Hybl tackling himself before he can catch Mark Clayton's reverse pass at Nebraska in 2001.
