The fact that I think I know what you're talking about even though I'm not watching says so much about ESPN and its marketing machine. Somehow it makes me detest it even more. 

Can anyone please create a viable alternative to this agenda-filled, "speculation is sports" monopoly?

On a much brighter note, Go Blue!

Pat McAfee used to be ok until maybe 1-2 years ago, then he totally bought into his whole persona. Going to ESPN has taken his annoying qualities and cranked them to an 11 - which I’m sure is by design since ESPN is all about personalities.

That said, he’s ruined what’s left of Gameday and basically made it his personal show.

But...Bugs Bunny and Friends is the old Loony Tunes/Merrie Melodies shorts not new stuff, right? Those classic shorts were originally shown in theaters between Warner Brothers feature films and weren't made for television, btw.

Here's a Looney Tunes fUn FaCt--The Looney Tunes writers viewed Tom and Jerry as the Family Guy to their Simpsons, that is, a hackneyed, brainless knockoff in which the violence (like Family Guy's cutaway gags) have no relation at all to the plot. So they created the Roadrunner shorts specifically to mock the Tom and Jerry formula. Roadrunner is, of course, fucking brilliant where Tom and Jerry is...not.

Just took a look at the early slate and woof those are some lame matchups. Glad my boy has an indoor soccer game followed up with the corn maze. Should be back just in time to catch some of the slightly better afternoon slate.

The fact that it’s was still dark at the beginning of the broadcast shows how forced everything is. And is a preview of upcoming difficulties integrating the PAC into the B1G.

I know some of you will clutch your pearls at the thought of Barstool but I believe Dave Portnoy (Michigan grad) is heading to Madison, WI for the game today. 

He is going to wear Michigan gear and sit opposite the OSU sidelines with his iPhone. Lol 

I hope they get some great footage out of it.

The entire student section should show up with binoculars.  When the other team looks to the sidelines for instructions, they should all get up in unison and point their binoculars at the opponent's sideline, and then sit down.  Then do it for every play.
