ASK LEGENDARY BROADCASTER Verne Lundquist about his enduring memory of one of the most infamous bowl games of all time, and steel yourself for the response.

"The Village People," Lundquist said with his trademark guffaw, without a split-second of hesitation or a hint of irony.

Lundquist was on the mic for the 2008 Sun Bowl, a 3-0 Oregon State win over Pitt that was the lowest-scoring bowl game since a 0-0 tie between TCU and Air Force in 1959.

Between the 20 punts in the game, there was a mark recognized by the Guinness World Records set at halftime when the Village People electrified a crowd of 40,138, recording the largest performance of the "YMCA" dance.
