Interesting question

(I totally stole from Miller at HN): Has anyone ever beaten Penn St three times as starting QB? Stanzi has chance tonight.

Yeah

That's weird to me

ESPN3 has all of the ESPN/ESPN2/ABC games (unless they’re blacked out locally) but not the game on ESPNU? I guess they’re trying to force more cable providers to ad ESPNU.

I imagine most carriers already have it, just on a premium tier. I guess I should cough up the $8 to get it and NFL network one of these days.

Speaking of the NFL

it hit me last weekend why I’m losing interest in the NFL. I don’t have Sunday ticket, so I’m stuck with whatever crap the networks give me. Today, I have half a dozen games to check out pretty much all day. I love that.

Agreed

I live near DC, so I always get Redskins and Ravens games, and have no desire to watch either. Luckily, we get quite a few Steelers and Eagles games, which are usually more entertaining.

by cbrett42 on Oct 2, 2010 3:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yeah, I pay $5 a month for the sports tier, so I always forget what's in the regular package and what's not

I’m not in Big Ten country, so BTN is on the sports tier. That’s worth the $5 by itself.

by cbrett42 on Oct 2, 2010 3:20 PM CDT up reply actions  

If I didn't have BTN in the base package I'd have signed up long ago

As it is, I so rarely want to watch anything on ESPNU that it just doesn’t seem worth it, even though it is only $8. It’s the principle of the thing.

by nothatso on Oct 2, 2010 3:15 PM CDT reply actions  

Problem with these afternoon games

is that you’re matching teams that are essentially identical. Both Michigan and Indiana have potent offenses and no defense between the two of them. Wisconsin and Michigan State are essentially the same team, but one wears Red and White and the other wears Green and White.

Hard to evaluate

If Sparty is in his traditional tailspin by the time we play them, that is good. I might rather they lose, and be in a mood to systematically destroy Michigan’s QBs next week. What I want from Wisco is a softened-up John Clay. Doesn’t matter to me as much if they win, we can beat them with Clay slowed down a little.

Not to belabor this point, but we hit the OVER in Mich/Ind.

Despite the fact that both offenses apparently got winded halfway through the third quarter and decided to stop playing quite as hard.

The only explanation I have for this not winning the betting extravaganza poll is that some of you secretly hate HFMR and want him to lose all his money.

Put in his running quarterback to try to run the ball in on 2nd and goal with about 30 seconds and no timeouts left. Doesn’t get there, they don’t have a next play ready to go, and after some confusion they run some subs on the field just in time to get one last snap off (good coaching would’ve allowed them two more plays) but because of the confusion the snap goes over the quarterback’s head and time runs out (and Tennessee falls on the ball, anyway).

But then, the discussion below revolves around the fact that Tennessee also tried to run some subs on when they saw LSU doing it, but they ended up with 13 men on the field, so there was a flag, and LSU kept the ball and got one more untimed down. LSU ended up winning the game.

by cbrett42 on Oct 2, 2010 5:56 PM CDT up reply actions  

But there wasn't a flag

Things were so chaotic that the refs missed it, then reviewed it. I’m about 99.99999% sure they can’t do that.

I didn't see what exactly happened, but...

I think I once saw the refs use review to overturn a too many players penalty when it was already called. So maybe they can do it the other way too.

Ok, that's what I wanted to know

I know you can review a penalty to see if it shouldn’t have been called. Didn’t know you could review to see if one SHOULD have been called when it wasn’t. Also, if we’re going to take penalties on after-the-fact, LSU should have gotten flagged for unsportsmanlike since one of their lineman took his helmet off and spiked it before the play was over (understandable reaction on his part, but still…)
