On the offensive rebound, watch Kansas! They look like Buddy Holly in an ice storm!
So they looked terrified and/or dead? Frozen?
Too soon?
How long until I can bust out "They look like Aaliyah in a twin-engine Cessna"?
It just occurred to me that he's comparing a team's entire defense to Buddy Holly.
Update: the man responsible for this gem is Fran Fraschilla.
Second update: according to reader John, "Apparently there's a Buddy Holly statue outside (near?) the Texas Tech arena, and there was ice on it. So he was probably referencing that."
I prefer to keep thinking he was talking about The Day the Music Died.
