2 other good games on at 330 which one will you tune to during commercials?

Submitted by newfoundhbomb on

hey beside the Michigan game which i know we all will be watching I was wondering which other big game you will tune to, to check out during commercials.  I'm thinking everyone is gonna tune into the Ohio State/Miami game.  but who knows.

RedZone is actually football porn.  It ruins other games for you.  After watching it, I always expect 3rd and 10 plays to result in long, beautiful touchdowns.  It's like watching TBS after a porno:  "Why are they just standing there talking?  It's been 3 minutes and no one has taken their clothes off!!"

If I leave the bathroom door cracked in my man cave, I can see my big screen from the throne.  Obviously not much use at parties, but if I'm watching alone . . .

You've got to take these things into consideration.  I call it feng shui-it.

TMI?

One day a new mirror was right in front of me above the toilet ("looks great, honey") and for what I asked...then I realized with some leanin' I could see the wall in the kitchen.  The wall now has an arbitrary mirror facing a small TV in the kitchen.  After several beverages, it can be a little disorientating though.  Word to the wise.

I refuse to change the channel and risk the chance of missing something. I will pause it when I use the bathroom and carefully fast forward when I get back. I have mastered the art of hitting the play button at the perfect moment as well.... Not that anyone cares.

but I will just comment.  What a f#%king great day of football.  The remote hand will be tired, if only Brian Kelly had not fundamentally realligned NBC's broadcast, I would have even more commercial time.  Oklahoma v. FSU as the third option, unbelievable.  Alabama v. Penn State is offset by Tenessee v. Oregon at the 7:00 PM slot.  I may develop bed sores from couch.

With a little SEC appetizer to get things started tonight, a "new head coach visits his old stomping ground" C-USA v. Big East ceaser salad on Friday night, and then the main course, Glorious.

And who could forget the "Spartans in the D?"  Aside from everybody that is.

What a f#%king great day of football.

This a thousand times. At noon, there's UGA-SCAR. At 3:30, there are 3-4 great  looking games. At 7, there's Oregon-UT. The late game is State Penn - 'Bama. It's going to be an awesome day of football.

And my wife is out of town this weekend, so I will be watching football and drinking beer and farting and passing out and watching more football. And then, at noon, I'll start watching more football.

I disagree completely, but not because either one isn't good. Harris is not a runner at all. He's got a negative rushing average for his career, and they don't have called-runs implemented (generally speaking) in Miami's offense. Moreover, Harris prefers to throw the deep ball and less of the short stuff. What we've seen of DR this season is mostly short to mid-range stuff. I just think that they're very different kinds of players, with very different strengths.

Of course, I'm assuming that you aren't using this comparison to say that DR will be throwing a lot of interceptions.

I guess I never looked at his stats  that closely. I'm sure you've checked them out a lot more since they're playing. Huh. Now I feel sheepish.

I guess the only times I've watched him, he was so freaking athletic I just ASSUMED he ran all over the place.

that is great stuff. 

Seriously, great news on your wife being out of town, perfect weekend for it.  On the other hand, my wife's birthday always falls on Michigan-ND weekend, so I have had to gatther myself after mutiple South Bend debacles and put on a happy face for the obligatory birthday Saturday dinner. 

Stupid wife, why would you put your birthday on Michigan-ND weekend!?!?  Just selfish man.

Yeah, it's working out pretty well this year. Her birthday falls on an OSU bye week (Saturday, in fact), our anniversary is in the middle of July, and we're expecting our first child in March. There's really only one weekend that's off-limits in the fall (although bowl season is a little more tricky - she always wants to "spend time with our families" and "not sit in front of the tv for 12 hours in a row").

I DVR our game and flip during commercials - can then go back and catch anything missed.

Definitely will be some picture-in-picture happening on my screen.  Don't normally use it but this is what is was made for.

Why isn't OSU/Miami on at 8-9? (NASCAR, I guess, is the answer). But that should be more interesting than Alabama/PSU.  And I'd rather flip between those two. Because OSU has the second most interesting game of the day.

i was thinking the same thing.. have miami/ohio state a night game or the oklahoma/florida state a night game.  i think the penn state/alabama will be over at halftime, i hope i'm wrong but just a feeling

Oh Ohio State I guess.  I am not sold Miami is that great.  Hopefully they'll sell me. I am not one of those "rooting for the Big Ten" when we don't play them fans.  Definitely want to see the Buckeyes tip.

If this is super obvious to everyone...oops, my bad...but I thought some might not know that if they have Comcast cable (with a dual-tuner box), the tiny "swap" button in the PIP menu on the remote will swap between your tuners.  That means you can pause the Michigan game, swap over to the OSU (or PSU) game, pause, and swap back to the other paused game.  

You never have to miss anything and can skip through commercials.  Again, maybe that's really obvious, but I have a feeling many people don't know of the tiny "swap" button and it's magical powers.

I definitely stay off the computer and cell if I'm behind in timing, but generally I have my primary game (obviously, Michigan) which I pause going into a commercial.  Then, I swap to the other game, watch it for a bit and swap back to Michigan.  At that point, I just FF through the commercials and it's back to game time...right on time.  It's all a matter of practice.  I have much practice.

...weeks like this are the one problem with the band going to ND. I'll be on a bus at 7 am, at the game all afternoon and on a bus home until 12:30 or so. I hope to go the busses have wifi or I'm going to be missing a lot of quality football this weekend.
