I just watched the 1980 Wimbledon final between Borg and McEnroe on Tennis Channel. Bud Collins got a little weird:

"Fifty eight years, this lady, this court. Over this time she's run around with a lot of athletes, but never has seen a match like this."

He also called the match "Borgiastic."

There were times when Bud was a bit too pleased with his command of the English language.

UNT interim head coach and defensive coordinator Phil Bennett was asked if he is going to retire.

His answer is one for the ages.
