LOOOOOVE Tuesday night footbaw!
October 27th, 2010 at 12:56 AM ^
They did say they would play anybody, anytime. I guess someone took the anytime thing literally.
October 27th, 2010 at 3:57 AM ^
This makes me wish they had added "anywhere" to that statement...
October 26th, 2010 at 8:08 PM ^
I'm a little disappointed, though. Tuning in at 8:06 EST, and Boise hasn't scored yet. Nevermind that the game just started *laughs*
Side note, the commentary team has already earned a half dozen facepalms from me in about 2 minutes. I know it's just Tuesday night football, ESPN, but can you not do better than "He's a coach's player; not a player's coach, but a coach's player."
October 26th, 2010 at 8:08 PM ^
is still extremely hard to look at.. god i cant even watch it. TURN IT OFF!!
October 26th, 2010 at 8:10 PM ^
Not having HD, this camera angle above the field makes it so hard to see.
I'm taking chalk with BSU at -36.5.
October 26th, 2010 at 8:10 PM ^
There is something so beautifully right about college football on a Tuesday nite.
October 26th, 2010 at 8:13 PM ^
It may not be in the same league as Barkevious Mingo, but LA Tech's Dusty Rust has a pretty nifty moniker.
October 26th, 2010 at 8:14 PM ^
Saturday - Michigan, and a few other assorted teams
Sunday - M alums and some other guys
Monday - same as Sunday
Tuesday - non AQ football
Wednesday - Big East football
Thursday - ACC football
Friday - HS football
Rinse and repeat.
October 26th, 2010 at 9:10 PM ^
Friday - West Virginia @ UConn.
Go Huskies!
October 26th, 2010 at 9:16 PM ^
Like he said, high school football.
October 26th, 2010 at 8:19 PM ^
should be watching heat - celtics
October 26th, 2010 at 8:24 PM ^
because the NBA blows. I'd rather watch crickets mating or Amish rake fights.
October 26th, 2010 at 8:30 PM ^
Definitely the Amish rake fight, maybe the crickets mating. If anything the latter is a push.
October 27th, 2010 at 3:59 AM ^
What about Amish cricket fighting on rakes?
October 26th, 2010 at 8:44 PM ^
someone agrees, the BBall game threads were deleted with the quickness
October 26th, 2010 at 8:50 PM ^
If I'm around the board, I try to catch things before they get too long.
October 26th, 2010 at 8:58 PM ^
rake fights are sweet. Quaker fights of any kind are lame.
October 26th, 2010 at 9:10 PM ^
I agree that Quaker fights suck. They try and be all creative by adding buckles to their helmets just to draw attention to themselves and so it gives people that normally wouldn't care something to talk about.
Someone had to try and 1-up Boise and their smurf turf.
October 27th, 2010 at 10:01 AM ^
"you're looking live at the Elkhart County Fairgrounds, where this man - Jacob Yoder and his trusty fighting iron from True Value will engage in mortal combat with this man - Wilhelm Bontrager, a plucky and up and coming young Amish man who some say swings the handle better than anyone since the legendary Amos Hostetler"
No, nevermind. She'd fuck that up too.
October 26th, 2010 at 8:26 PM ^
Because this is pretty painful. Do all female announcers sound like this?
October 26th, 2010 at 8:42 PM ^
Is it that one chick who does softball games on ESPN? Her voice is pretty hard to listen to, no matter the sport.
October 26th, 2010 at 8:32 PM ^
If LT covers tonight, I think I'm going to have to go to their game when they host Nevada.
October 26th, 2010 at 8:46 PM ^
College football on a Tuesday? I guess I won't do my homework tonight.
October 26th, 2010 at 8:54 PM ^
The game's pretty close right now. Let's play a game:
What would you do right now to see Boise State lose?
October 26th, 2010 at 9:11 PM ^
I would get nude and attempt to scale the Washington Monument.
October 27th, 2010 at 1:39 AM ^
Boise loses and MSU moves up the rankings with a win this weekend. I'm not interested in that. But I would shave my balls for MSU to lose.
October 26th, 2010 at 8:55 PM ^
I wish the LT QB would at least throw the ball instead of taking all these sacks.
October 26th, 2010 at 8:58 PM ^
Liking that defensive line for LT. That blown up flea flicker was awesome.
October 26th, 2010 at 9:02 PM ^
Trick Play FAIL
Both teams trying to get tricking and ending up failing.
October 26th, 2010 at 9:07 PM ^
I sort of get the impression ESPN might have messed up their planting of the mics around the audience. On several plays, it actually sounds like there are only 35,000 people there or so.
October 26th, 2010 at 9:07 PM ^
Is there anything more annoying than watching a team with blue uniforms on a blue field? I am silently hoping boise gets some BCS respect so they can shitcan the blue turf.
October 26th, 2010 at 9:08 PM ^
I don't think that would encourage them to drop the blue turf at all. Only way it goes is by NCAA mandate. It's a "cultural" issue for them.
October 27th, 2010 at 1:12 AM ^
Yeah, for good or for bad, that has been identified with their team for nearly 25 years. That would be like someone telling us that we should get rid of the wings on our helmets.
October 26th, 2010 at 9:24 PM ^
I'm shocked more teams haven't adopted the "color field" idea. It is clearly an advantage for BSU, so why wouldn't East Carolina go with the all purple field? Rutgers would look stunning with an all red field.
October 27th, 2010 at 1:08 AM ^
I think that is overrated. Does MSU get an advantage from having green jerseys? There are lots of teams that wear green, but nobody worries about it.
October 27th, 2010 at 9:47 AM ^
Please, no. ESPN did a little thing on the blue turf and brought up johnnys-come-lately Eastern Washington, who have red'd themselves in a similar fashion.
Heaven forfend.
October 26th, 2010 at 9:07 PM ^
Welp... there goes any hope of this game being competitive...
October 26th, 2010 at 9:15 PM ^
LT can come back. Keep the faith.
October 26th, 2010 at 9:17 PM ^
That better be a touchback. Over the goal line!
October 26th, 2010 at 9:17 PM ^
Smurf Turf always makes me wonder why I spent all that money on a HD setup. My retinas are burning.
October 26th, 2010 at 9:18 PM ^
It's like looking at the sun. You are drawn to it to see what its all about, but you can't look for more than a few seconds.
October 26th, 2010 at 9:18 PM ^
Is it weird that I don't even consider this special anymore?
October 26th, 2010 at 9:20 PM ^
LT seems to be gashing them on the ground this drive. Just tuned in. Have they been successful on the ground this game?
EDIT: of course as I say this, they stall out.
October 26th, 2010 at 9:21 PM ^
Well their QB can't scramble for shit it looks like. I'd think if he headed for the far sideline and hit the gas he'd have converted that with no problems.
October 26th, 2010 at 9:24 PM ^
Yeah it looked like he juked himself out on that play then fell over in confusion.
October 26th, 2010 at 9:29 PM ^
Horrible PI call! He turned around and made the tip. Come on.
October 26th, 2010 at 9:29 PM ^
That looked like a pretty good defensive play to me...
October 26th, 2010 at 9:32 PM ^
Is that potato in a cape(?) their mascot?!
