I remember one afternoon in the mid-80s when Stanford was being torched by UCLA, unable to stop any deep pass. Finally a ball was overthrown to a receiver who was a good five yards clear. Macauley's call was "Pass incomplete ... (pause) ... Just".
He also had fun with the scores at times. When Nebraska was an absolute juggernaut he reported "Second quarter score from Lincoln, Colorado 7, #1 Nebraska 3". A while later came another update, "Third quarter score from Lincoln, Colorado 7 ... (oohs from the crowd) ... #1 Nebraska ... 38".
