My only run-in with McDonough was in the press box during a Harvard-Princeton game. It was the first league game I had called for Princeton. My color guy is an Ohio State grad and there was a football game that day where I thought OSU should have gone for a two-point conversion and keep alive a national title chance. He disagreed. So he goes, "Hey, Sean" and proceeds to ask this small, unshaven guy with a hat on. It didn't click, and I'm thinking, "Who's this dork?" So McDonough agrees that taking the 1 point was the right move, and proceeds to ruin his credibility by saying Tom Osborne should have gone for the tie in the 1984 Orange Bowl - hindsight being 20/20. No one agreed with that, but me, still not knowing who this guy was, said, "WHAT?? You're a moron." Yes, my moment at meeting one of the best play-by-play guys in the business (Even if he did have some help getting up the ladder <G>), and I call him a moron. Such is life. AW
