I have to say, I'm loving them. He doesn't do it too often, and only when really deserved.
First game - "Mr Jarvis, meet Mr Taylor"
Today - "[So and so] is hearing the bells of Iowa State thanks to...."
Don't recall any others.
I don't know, but I find it pretty funny.

I was there when they crucified my Lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice when they pierced his side
But I've seen love conquer the great divide

Editorial comments like those have no place at a college game, and maybe not at any level.
Down, distance, spot, carrier, tackler, and the occasional 'get loud'. That's it.

I guess I missed that at the the Kent State game. I agree, they have no place. Save all of that for the radio and tv guys.

I think the comments are a good idea. If we can't "editorialize" on our own field for our own fans, who can?

Big time YEA - It's our home field! No PA announcer I know of to date has ever won an Edward R. Murrow award. I loved it.

 This is the sarcasm pirate. If you see him anywhere in my post, it means I was being sarcastic. Thank you. Actually there's a good chance I'm being sarcastic even if I forgot the pirate. I'm not to be taken too seriously.

You can bet that from now on I'm going to pay more attention to what he's saying. If there's a zinger in there, I want to hear it!

Comments like "That's gonna leave a mark" and "He'll feel that tomorrow" are idiotic, and sound incredibly bush league when made over a public address system.
