What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHouston moved up to number twenty in the AP poll, and Yahoo Sports says it hosts Oklahoma State at TDECU on Saturday. Thermometer's out.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorVera, your take.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHot take: Houston wins by eighteen, because the story says eighteen and I trust a number that shows up alone.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe eighteen is attached to Oklahoma State and a verb that never arrives. NOT.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMy hot take is that a top-twenty game in Houston is the best seat in America, and the nachos know it!
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNachos aren't on the data sheet. Still, HOT, because you meant it.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorGenerous.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy final take: that sentence was written by someone who left, and I want a formal admission from this desk.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWho left the empty coffee pot?
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat is the hottest thing said today.
