WE'RE TALKIN' BASKETBALL: But Tennessee Isn't Even a State!

Tennessee St. Tigers at Iowa Hawkeyes, Jan 12, 2010 8:05 PM CST


So here's the deal. Tonight, there's a basketball game with the Iowa Hawkeyes, and there's probably no way in hell you're going to watch it.

Here's why: there's a Big Ten game on ESPN tonight between Ohio State and Purdue--you know, the good teams in the BXI--that tipped off at 6:00. Robbie Hummel's going fucking bananas, go check it out. Because of that, the Iowa game contractually cannot tip off before 8; that way, ESPN maximizes ratings and everyone's a winner.

Except, one little problem: the Iowa game isn't even on television. AT. ALL. It's not on the BTN; that's Penn State and Illinois. ESPNU has Northern Iowa and Bradley. Even the Mediacom Connections channel, Iowa's last refuge to at least show up in the state, has opted for Drake and Missouri State.

So unless you feel like ponying up $2.99 for choppy, skippy, low-quality video from the BTN--which, frankly, wouldn't be a suitable price for a ticket to the actual game these days--you're not watching the game.

There's literally like 6,000 people, altogether, in the entire world, who are going to watch this game live. And that's fucking depres--JESUS CHRIST USC HIRED LANE KIFFIN. HOLY SHIT.

Open thread. If you're watching the game, well, that sounds like a lie. No you're not. But you can talk about whatever here.

It seems to me

that this would be an ideal application for the three overflow channels that Comcast provides. Clearly they have cameras at the game for the live stream. But, what do I know? Oh right, I know that I’m calling Comcast and dropping down to the economy tier now that football season is over.

have they even...

Used the overflow channels since the first weekend they were on the air for football?

I'm making soup.

Potato-leek. Should be good… Haven’t made it before though, so we’ll see. Seems like it’ll be a good winter/warming soup. Plus it’s low-cal, so that’s good. Gotta’ watch the calories – starting to get man-tits and way too much beergut. There’s also a fucking killer-looking recipe for this roasted garlic & potato soup that I want to try. Maybe this weekend.
Both come from this book (it’s great): 400 Soups.
Even if you don’t like to cook or whatever, the pictures are great, so it’s good for you know, food-porn & whatnot.

We’re also having asparagus, because it rules.

Kiffin hasn’t won anything. His dad’s a good coordinator and he was recruiting well at Tenn, but his credentials are thin. Also, won’t USC be getting hit hard by the NCAA?

by stewartom on Jan 12, 2010 8:26 PM CST reply actions  

See above

Tennesse probably will as well. Kiffin probably figures he needs to take the promotion (USC > Tennessee) while he still has a chance. He ain’t going upward from here.

Why not shut your fingers in a car door? At least that doesn’t take up an hour. Vote with your feet (or remote in this case). If you want better product, the University has to realize that what they have sucks. And the best way for that to happen is to not watch it.

No kidding

Especially when the parade of people would inevitably come by to tell Iowa fans “hey, it’s a business, that’s the nature of things,” when we know that Iowa is perfectly set up to be a destination school. That’s a major credit to both Ferentz and the athletic department

Herbstreit has jumped on the Iowa bandwagon. Were gonna be great next year if even Kirk is liking us. Ferentz is a great coach. Wouldn’t trade him to have my left nut back.

I also think....

that having Carroll in the NFL again might really help ferentz stay for his career. If Carroll doesn’t succeed then it will once again show that making the jump from college to the bigs is too risky.
