Can I Dance With Your Date?

Frat Guy of the Week: Sportscenter's Neil Everett

ESPN Sportscenter Neil Everett was a brother of Beta Theta Pi at the University of Oregon.

Everett grew up in Spokane, Washington, and graduated from Oregon. The current Sportscenter anchor started his carreer in radio, before spending the next 15 years as an athletic administrator at Hawaii Pacific University. Everett returned to broadcasting, working as a sports director and reporter for KGMB in Honolulu.

In 2000, after receiving a recommendation from a friend, Everett was hired by ESPN where he has worked since. Everett has added Hawaiian surfing sayings to the show's famous repertoire of catchphrases, including:

• "Can I dance with your date?" - After a player gets dunked on, usually preceded by their name, as a reference to Animal House.
• "Bartender! JACK!!" - When a baseball player hits a home run.
• "Howzit!" - A Hawaiian/South African slang for "What's up!", said at the start of each episode of Sportscenter he anchors.
• "Phi Kai Phi!" - Used to describe dunks- reference to the ritual of Beta Theta Pi.
