College Game Day and Big Noon Kickoff Open Thread
November 4th, 2023 at 9:07 AM ^
Avoid ESPN if at all possible.
November 4th, 2023 at 9:21 AM ^
I’d only watch if I knew Desmond would stand up from his chair, say “this entire network is full of shit” and walk off the set.
November 4th, 2023 at 9:37 AM ^
While we’d all like to see it I understand he’s got a family to support. At least that’s what I tell myself every Monday while I’m driving to work.
November 4th, 2023 at 10:20 AM ^
Des faced off with that Stephen A wormdick yesterday. He’s in the due process camp.
November 4th, 2023 at 9:42 AM ^
Have been for the last 15 years. Haven’t missed a thing except Kenny Mayne…
November 4th, 2023 at 10:25 AM ^
Obligatory GameDay sucks comment. Shudder that dogshit show
November 4th, 2023 at 9:08 AM ^
Go Rutgers. At least Schiano had the balls to clarify his halftime statement. What side of his face he’s talked out of since? Who the fuk knows. Either way….fuk OSU!
November 4th, 2023 at 9:08 AM ^
The 3 hour Pat McAfee show is on. Yay.
November 4th, 2023 at 9:12 AM ^
Nothing screams gameday like watching a chubby guy in a tank top jiggling his C cups all over my tv for 3 hrs.
November 4th, 2023 at 9:56 AM ^
I don't care about his appearance but for the life of me I don't get what's so appealing about him as a personality. It's a schtick but he's got one pitch and it's a fastball that once you've seen it a couple of times isn't going to surprise you.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:13 AM ^
This is the kind of thing the youth of today like. Loud noises with no substance. I'll never understand.
November 4th, 2023 at 9:14 AM ^
And ever since McAffee joined the GameDay crew, the show continues to sink to a new low each week.
Massive suckage.
November 4th, 2023 at 9:21 AM ^
I think it's arguably sinking to the level of its average viewer. This is the target audience for "Pacific Life" (or worse) ads.
November 4th, 2023 at 10:00 AM ^
It’s far below pacific life. This give the liberty biberty emu a run for the money.
November 4th, 2023 at 9:36 AM ^
It was already in the toilet and McAffee filled the rest of the bowl with diarrhea and clogged it
November 4th, 2023 at 9:09 AM ^
F*CK osu and their water carrying biatch espn!
Take a stand for Harbaugh Warde, for once!
November 4th, 2023 at 9:21 AM ^
Don't forget the other Big Ten schools carrying water for OSU.
November 4th, 2023 at 9:27 AM ^
We'll pound one of OSU's lackeys tonight.
November 4th, 2023 at 9:11 AM ^
I'm only watching actual gameplay today. No can do on the pregame shows. At 730 tonight, Michigan will meticulously destroy another team by 50, brief joy will be had, then my fandom will rest in an uneasy dread and annoyance for another week. This is all very stupid and I'm stupid for caring this much.
I love college football.
November 4th, 2023 at 10:26 AM ^
I used to. This is too much.
November 4th, 2023 at 10:31 AM ^
I used to. This is too much.
November 4th, 2023 at 9:18 AM ^
Give 'em hell Desmond!
November 4th, 2023 at 9:20 AM ^
I'm not a cfb fan. I'm a Michigan fan.
And I despise OSU...
November 4th, 2023 at 9:23 AM ^
Rece Davis!!
November 4th, 2023 at 9:24 AM ^
Sounds like Rece and ESPN have the whole Spygate thing all figured out and buttoned up.
November 4th, 2023 at 9:28 AM ^
Think besides Thamel, their segment is calling off the dogs.
Basically Herby and McAfee were very "I'm sick of this shit" Lets watch this great team play
November 4th, 2023 at 9:30 AM ^
Good for Kirk!
November 4th, 2023 at 9:34 AM ^
Maybe they realized all their cancel culture bullshit may end up costing a decent man his job and their conscience is kicking in. Assholes!
November 4th, 2023 at 9:35 AM ^
They do not have consciences. They may have financial incentives to not set the anarchist precedent that the other B1G ADs are evidently trying to
November 4th, 2023 at 9:41 AM ^
Yes. Can you imagine SEC doing this to each other? Unless the instigator is punished, it will be fair game.
November 4th, 2023 at 10:02 AM ^
If this story happened in the SEC every single coach and AD would be FURIOUS! as well
1) That their own program wasn't running this hustle
2) Their own program wasn't getting the media recognition for running the hustle, despite maybe actually doing so
All the fans of the significant programs would be upset at their own coaches for apparently not keeping up with their rivals and/or protecting and changing signs more frequently.
The "accused" school would be seen as innovative and others as falling behind
November 4th, 2023 at 10:58 AM ^
That was actually the tone of the SEC Shorts segment on sign stealing: "You rubes in the Big Ten don't know how to cheat. Let us SEC pros show you how it's done."
November 4th, 2023 at 9:45 AM ^
Litigation.
November 4th, 2023 at 10:39 AM ^
Good for them. It’s honestly going to play out how it plays out. People are just ready to watch football and let the chips fall where they may, I know I am. Game Day shouldn’t give Day and the rest of the leeches in the Big Ten any more attention beating the dead horse that is this story
November 4th, 2023 at 9:30 AM ^
Thamel with nothing to say. What a fuck.
November 4th, 2023 at 9:40 AM ^
I’ve got ESPN blocked under parental controls and threw away the code. Care to elaborate what’s went on?
November 4th, 2023 at 9:31 AM ^
Here’s to Harbaugh making a statement tonight and hanging 60 on Purdue and their b*tch of a coach!
November 4th, 2023 at 9:35 AM ^
To hell with 60. I want no less than 72!
November 4th, 2023 at 9:39 AM ^
Not watching this crap today that’s for sure.
November 4th, 2023 at 9:43 AM ^
It is hard. Unless the media turns against B1G I am not watching all these commentaries.
November 4th, 2023 at 9:42 AM ^
Not usually up for violence but I will make an exception here. Come on Desmond reach over and knock Rece out of his chair.
November 4th, 2023 at 9:45 AM ^
He should point out the hypocrisy, the hit job, unproven rumors, not letting the process be completed, media and B1G coaches being judge, jury and executioner, and not worried about "innocence" of a person. But he won't sadly.
November 4th, 2023 at 10:25 AM ^
"He is not Judge Judy and executioner!"
November 4th, 2023 at 9:43 AM ^
Hard pass! I'm doing a turkey in disguised project with my first grader and watching loony tunes ( since I got a hard time for watching Henry danger last Saturday ) Ill watch the first half of the Ohio state game to see them dribble down their leg before they pull away in the 2nd half.. Go LSU , go K state. GO Nebraska and GO BLUE!
November 4th, 2023 at 1:50 PM ^
I like your approach!
November 4th, 2023 at 9:43 AM ^
Brown bagging is fine.
$280K for an OV is fine.
Pay for Play is fine.
Practicing with coaches outside of permissible windows is fine.
Buying recruits with sporting goods companies is fine.
Fake classes are perfect.
A single staffer who misinterpreted / bent / broke a rule results in the Death Penalty.
Yes.. that’s the NCAA .. will the B1G be next to them?
November 4th, 2023 at 9:44 AM ^
Props to Gameday for replacing the Bear Withperer, who got 70% of his picks wrong, with George Costanzas boss who gave the TBone nickname to another dude.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:25 AM ^
Coco!
Coco!
November 4th, 2023 at 9:52 AM ^
No way in hell I watch GameDay. Most likely never again - unless I know those bastards are going to eat crow.
November 4th, 2023 at 9:53 AM ^
What was fun 20 years ago is unwatchable today. I'm sorry that Desmond is associated with these ass clowns, and the only good thing about Fox is Joel Klatt.
