Anyone here have that deep baritone voice?  Does not have to carry a full country mile.  

Also, when a team is down big and makes a comeback with still more work to do, I would like to see coaches call a time out, give the kids a breather, encourage them to do more.  Too many times, they want to continue the momentum, instead they run out of steam and I think that happened here.  CAlling a timeout in that situation has the same effect as Icing the FG kicker and statistically, iced kickers do a little worse than non-iced kickers in crucial situation.
