What question would you like to ask Joel Klatt?

[@josephfelton9597]

Who is the best team right now

[@thetruth1816]

How hard is it to stay composed when gus johnson goes crazy during a big play or a game winning TD or a big Pick ??

[@davidcole333]

Can you tell Gus to calm down? Please?

[@sagemodeq544]

I think Washington has the best offense in the country. Do you think they could ride that all the way to CFP?

[@thetruth1816]

@sagemodeq544 If they stay healthy I don't see why not.. That offense is nasty...

[@codylauren]

I'm stationed in Hawaii and could feel the atmosphere from the Big House all the way from here. It will be a game I will never forget it was simply beautiful 💙💛〽️

[@andrewhunt2429]

As a buckeye fan who grew up in Michigan and went to that game. It’s the most electric atmosphere, watching grown men in tears that they finally won, 11 and 12 year olds saying I finally saw them win. Not to mention the big house is known for getting really quiet. Not that day, absolutely would go to that game with the same outcome everytime, that’s how electric that stadium was that day

[@asay636]

I have a giant print of the stormed, snowy Big House on my wall. Hard to imagine any athletic event replicating the feeling of that day. Pretty confident that will go down as peak fan moment of my lifetime

[@reconsoldier135]

I’m so thankful I was able to be in the Big House for that game. Its an experience I’ll never forget til the day I die. GO BLUE!!!!!!!!

[@thedogs3467]

As a Michigan fan. A natty won’t have the same feeling as beating Ohio that beautiful snowy day. Me and my dad hugged. It was great lol

[@nicholaswoods4055]

You’ll never win a natty any time remotely soon so I hope so

[@michiganhypelights]

@@nicholaswoods4055 that’s literally what makes college football so amazing. It’s not all about championships. You can’t really say that about any other sport. Yes I’d like UM to win one but it’s certainly not everything.

[@NoahPrince.2]

Yeah I recount that 2021 Michigan Ohio State so often. The atmosphere was almost unreal and the snow played an underrated role in that atmosphere. Of all the star-studded El Clasicos in which I watched Ronaldo and co battle Messi and co, the 2016 NBA Finals Game 7 that had you on the edge of your seat, etc, the 2022 World Cup, the 2019 Masters that Tiger won, nothing I've seen compares to The Game 2021.

[@benmeyer8341]

I got a job at the concession stand to be at that 2021 Michigan game. At that time I wasn’t even a big football fan, but every time michigan scored I would run out and celebrate with everyone.

[@MissionForward3]

Awesome commentary, Joel.... As a fan watching The Big Game on television last year in Columbus, Gus' calls of the two long McCarthy to Cornelius Johnson TDs, the call of the the TD pass to Colston Loveland, and the two long TD runs by Donovan Edwards are embedded in my memory..... Gus is a great announcer of college football, and you're a lucky guy to have the opportunity to work with him.... You two are fantastic team.

[@kevinchandler179]

Any Whiteout is always number one!!!!! WE ARE

[@kevinchandler179]

There is absolutely nothing in college football atmosphere compared to Happy Valley in general, but a Whiteout, enough said!!!!!!!! WE ARE

[@daleandre7347]

After listening to Buckeyes for a year dismissively calling 2021 a fluke, the 2022 Mich win was less thrilling but more SATISFYING than 2021.

[@jackpackage4278]

2021 had mfers crying lol. That had to be the most amazing game I’ve ever seen in any sport as a Michigan fan.

[@calebleeson5662]

I can’t wait to still be hearing about these after JJs class leaves, back to the dark ages after 23

[@eduardoolivas5027]

I was lucky enough to attend the 2020 and 2021 Red River Showdown. COVID definitely made the difference in the stands, but we were treated to two absolutely incredible games (4 OTs and the Caleb Williams comeback) !

[@jblake41526]

That was a year they knew they didn’t have the team to go against us so they cried Covid 😂

[@davidcole333]

There's a lot of special atmospheres, collectively they make college football the best sport in the country by far.

[@sagemodeq544]

Joel I hope you get to cover that Washington Oregon game. I imagine especially if UW is undefeated going into that game that the atmosphere is going to be electric ⚡️

Go Blue!

[@raveouscarlias4479]

Those Rose Bowl hats are sick actually.

[@zacharycooper8646]

2017 Ohio State game is the game I think about once a week. Sucks no one on the Penn st staff knew clock management

[@kevinchandler179]

They did, just Franklin is stubborn, but he has changed a lot since then, he trusts his offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator finally!!! Thank God!!!!! WE ARE

[@the_prince1]

Go Blue 〽️

[@josephallen4295]

I agree. We are Michigan fans and were at home watching the game as a family and almost everyone in the house was crying. Like we just couldn’t help it. Then the snow falling it was like some kind of fairy tale with Aidan Hutchinson celebrating with fans all singing Mr. Bright side. Such an amazing memory I will never forget.

[@chrisstopher2277]

2001 CU vs NEB was pretty special as well because it was a little after 9-11

[@michaelzinn1169]

The uniforms Ohio State wore for that 17 Penn St game were AWFUL lol. And I'm an Ohio St fan but I hate almost all of the alternates, especially if they aren't scarlet and grey.

[@Jay-f7e5c]

Old man..."get off my lawn"...

[@nicholaswoods4055]

[@jackpackage4278]

OSU’s black uniforms are some of the best in the sport

[@dwaynecoy1871]

The "Jump Around" at Wisconsin is on my bucket list and looks just incredible. I would put that at #1 for any list of great "atmosphere" for college football.

[@alczervik3908]

Please sell that hat. I’m with Doris!

[@fredwhite7459]

Where do you get this hat at? I want a rose bowl hat just like it

[@TheFly212]

lol, World Largest Cocktail Party is the greatest and amazing sporting event I've ever been to. In any sport. Period. I saw real Madrid vs FC Barcelona too back in 2011 (widely regarded as one of the greatest rivalries in the history of soccer) and it couldn't compete. Georgia vs UF, or "The Worlds Largest Cocktail Party" is the greatest sports atmosphere ever.

[@raiderraider84]

I want to go to a Colorado game 😭

[@breydantilley127]

I was at that Ohio state/ penn state game! What a game! Go bucks!!

[@BuffaloC305]

Is one of his favorites the Houston Astrodome?

[@DCSk8er529]

I wish Fox would call a game at Notre Dame once in a while. Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt make a good group.

[@L.RILEYSQUATS2PEE]

Notre Dame gets tv coverage on only certain restricted TV networks. These TV networks pay big money to show ND. That's why you only them on certain networks

[@jackpackage4278]

Notre Dame out here shooting themselves in the foot just to make a little extra money. Once they’re forced to join a conference it will get better.

[@gusroden5242]

Hey Joel, I am a huge sports fan, specifically college football. I have wanted to get into sports broadcasting and was wondering if there is any way you could help me get started, maybe meet Gus since we've both got the same name.

[@jaunenito]

The Red River will be a great matchup this year. Let's see what Dillon Gabriel can do with this team against Texas. Unlike Texas, OU doesn't take pride in beating Texas without their starting QB. Also, that Alabama win is starting to look less impressive by the week. USF held them to 17pts. Just sayin

[@WavesDeep]

I dont think we played down for Rice, we hid our hand for the bama game. But yes, there is a tendency of playing down to competition. We have to prove it 🤘🏾🤘🏾

[@FindMeInSeattle]

Yes Yes please on the Rose Bowl Hats Feel free to throw JK logo on there. Can I get an Oregon O also?

[@tiffanydeutsch711]

No they don’t. I’m a Texas friend and I don’t think they have a shot at all.

[@jackpackage4278]

At the national title? You certainly do this year. Bama was easily your hardest game, now all you gotta do is win out and you’re in the playoffs.

Dude can you talk about UW more? Tired of Colorado all the time.

[@Ted_Stryker]

"Short memory"... 😂 That's rich coming from a browneyes fan. It took y'all that kind of a run just to come within a hope and a prayer of ever being on top of the all time rivalry record. (Michigan - 60, 🚫su - 51) Lol tOS fans are the kings of short memories.

[@TheCollectorCave]

Nah, unlike 98% of the Buckeye fanbase, the majority of Michigan fans remember AND give credit to the Buckeyes for that string of wins they put together. Respect where respect is due, but that's not something you can teach a Buckeye fan. As far as they are concerned only the years of 2002 - 2020 matter.
