KETV: ABC sportscaster Brent Musburger was ticketed at the intersection of 9th and T Streets in Lincoln after Saturday’s Husker game.
Lincoln police said Musburger was a passenger in the ABC crew’s rental car.
One witness said a traffic officer had just waved traffic through the intersection when he spotted Musberger drinking a beer.
The witness said he saw other passengers with alcohol, but Lincoln police said only Musburger was ticketed.
The driver was not drinking.
Musburger was given a $144 citation, including court costs.
[UPDATE] This is classic. There’s a Brent Musburger drinking game. “It may be the only way to listen to a Musburger broadcast without throwing a hammer through the screen,” says its propagator and fellow Big 12 fan.
Here’s one of the rules of the game:
Rule #8: Mentioning a Big 10 school during a non-Big 10 game. Whenever Brent does this, the first person who names the Big 10 school’s mascot gets to make somebody drink for 11 seconds, since there’s 11 schools in the Big 10.
