But as he was signing off, Musburger <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/gameon/2013/01/15/brent-musburger-holly-rowe-smokin-tonight/1835159/" style="color: #2262cc; text-decoration: none;">seemed to get</a> a bit girl crazy again when he said what sounded like, "For Fran Franschilla and Holly Rowe, who was really smokin' tonight, I want to say so long from Lawrence."</div><div style="color: black; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-transform: none;">While it's possible that Musburger simply likes to let everyone know how he feels about members of the opposite sex, it's more likely that he was taking a jab at whoever decided to apologize on his behalf last week or just poking fun at the whole situation.</div><div style="color: black; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-transform: none;">ESPN has another interpretation of what happened. ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said Tuesday that Musburger actually said, "<em>it</em> was really smokin' tonight." That explanation actually makes a little sense since Musburger opened the broadcast by saying, "Lawrence, Kansas, on a cold night, but it will be hot inside ... ."</div><div style="color: black; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-transform: none;">But then again, the actual game was anything but smokin', as No. 4 Kansas won in a blowout, 61-44.</div><br />
