Michigan St. beats Texas

[jburt1029]

Per Raftery, "Onions" means big balls. Not making other team cry

[KartMN303]

I'm told onions stands for making the other team cry.

[bigdongdennis76]

gus is way better

[CubsinNY]

@bigdongdennis76 Gus can not beat Bill Raftery.

[Y2Jin99]

I use to like Raftery but he is a cartoon now. All that matters is him getting in all his sayings and he never forgets to say MAN TO MAN in an exaggerated voice even when a team drops into a zone. Verne Lundquist Texas GOES MAN TO MAN! with a little zone principal.

ONIONS!

[MrCHITOWN247]

rherbst99 is right ,,,onions = having the balls to take the big shot and hitting it,,,,,,by the way ,,morehead st vs louisville today "ONIONS!"

[ilsindaco21]

"onions" doesn't mean big balls....Onions make you cry, so when someone makes a devastating shot, Raftery yells out "ONIONS!" cuz the other team just got bitch slapped and it's time for them to start crying

[acrnobrnja]

@rherbst99 , The onions comment is because the shot or big play makes the other team cry (like an onion). It has nothing to do with big balls.

[KJF1123]

@acrnobrnja actually he is right. it means big balls...

[sturttv]

@KJF1123  LOL, yep, that's what it means.

[DomPappa6]

[GTkennethxD]

ONIONS!!!!

[ThaShark316]

We finally beat these boys man...HOOK EM! They are f'n TOUGH though.

[KentuckyWildcats34]

bill raferty and gus johnson dynamic duo.

[mrbeastlymr]

they should call every game

[JimmySand9]

@KentuckyWildcats34 I know. Why they don't have them calling the Final Four, I have know idea. Maybe Jim Nantz knows something uncouth about Les Moonves.

[noreaga585]

ONIONS! it dosent get any better than that

[pbf13579]

i love you bill raftery

[sumdumfoo1]

Mich State ranked 19, Texas ranked 5 .....their rankings were almost reversed at the end of the season before March Madness. Go State! and Horns DOWN!

[akuonye]

what u say boy

[sumdumfoo1]

this is after last year's game BOY. you been waiting all this time to throw a comment my way BOY? both teams will be in the tournament in March BOY. we'll see what happens then, when it counts.

[Spartyon0]

"Onions!" Best comment from Raftery

[LMAO9er]

Onions come in nets..

so there4 ONIONS!!!

Best call he does..

[bashukma]

a little early onions! -- "onions" in bill-speak are shots that are so sweet they make you cry

[rherbst99]

I'm pretty sure "onions" is a reference to having big balls. He calls "onions" when someone demonstrates guts hitting a big shot or something.

[mrbeastlymr]

i know man its so funny cuz he says it like oniz

[sunsfan010]

@rherbst99 well yea who doesnt know that

[Ariamaluum]

@rherbst99. Also, he told Ian Eagle its like eating an onion, "it tastes so good, it makes your cry." To eat an onion, you have to have balls.

[Y2Jin99]

@rherbst99 My guess was someone hits a huge shot making the other team "Cry" hence ONIONS!

[willis5729]

@Y2Jin99 nah i thought it was like that and the cinderella story with the stepsisters' using onions to cry, but it does have to do with having big balls...if you search the phrase in google theres an article about the origination of the phrase. i like to give it the double meaning - crying and mondo nads

[indikid24]

does he say onions? If he does, why does he say it?

[awkwardmarkup]

Because he's Bill Raftery, that's why.

[awkwardmarkup]

A LITTLE EARLY ONIONS!

[smithfire14]

[mitchqqqqqq]

[f1khamba]

I was at the game in the Toyata Center and it was an amazing moment when Summers hit that 3. GO GREEN

[jfriday45]

"ONIONS!!" That's right, you have to have big "onions" to take that shot!! Go Green!

[biffer4810]
