Gus Johnson hilariously avoided swearing during Colorado – Nebraska broadcast with a ‘Holy Chicago!’

Fox Sports broadcaster Gus Johnson smoothly avoided a FCC fine on Saturday as he called Colorado’s hotly anticipated matchup against Nebraska.

During an electric turnover for the Colorado defense, Johnson couldn’t believe that Nebraska quarterback Jeff Sims had committed another fumble that went over to the Buffaloes.

Well, his disbelief in the turnover almost led to him dropping a swear word on the live broadcast. However, Johnson pulled off a smooth save by exclaiming “Holy… Chicago!” instead of something inappropriate.

“Holy Chicago!” is not something we’ve heard before, but you can bet college football fans will be saying this all year long whenever Johnson calls one of their team’s games.

Johnson is a pro’s pro, but even he can get inspired to drop a swear word every now and again while he’s in the booth.

However, we sure did enjoy what he did to narrowly avoid dropping the curse word on live television. Holy Chicago, indeed.
