Spring Game TV Replay Open Thread
Well, whether you're watching it for the first time, reliving it from earlier in person or on the Net, or it's just the first of 20 times you're going to watch it (Brian, that means you), we can hash out what happened with a clearer and warmer view. Did what we thought we saw still hold true? Can we find out anything different?
Those who haven't seen the game can decide if the thread should be spoiler free. But I'm guessing if you're on here you've been taking in every soundbite from Brian and the boards.
And while we wait...Michigan Softball on BTN. 8-2 good girls, top of 4th, vs. dreaded Northwestern.
Edit: And just as I hit save, 8-5...sonofva....
Excited number 18 N'western player is excited.
You're up by 5 with two outs. What kind of strategy needed to be discussed?
"uh, yeah, don't shit the bed. K thx."
And as I say that, Northwestern scores.
Anybody else writing their representative to ask that they repeal Title IX right now?
/kidding
I'm not political enough to understand what you mean but +1 anyways. I'm sure if I understood it would be educated and funny.
Title IX basically created women's sports (and mandated that schools be as close to equal in men's/women's athletic scholarships given out as possible).
And it's like watching a frame-by-frame replay of the previous play
Leah, Jennie, shut your faces! No more hits! Six ground balls on the first hit or an immediate rainout.
I'm having an aneurysm.
somehow makes me more angry.
by Womens Softball - Michigan v. NW on BTN here in San Diego. Even worse, the softball game is being called by Pam Ward. I'm about to kill myself!
I spent all day doing choirs and drinking so I'd be in a proper football state of mind and this is what I get.
Pam must die! She is even horrible calling softball.
EDIT: I'll leave my original post, but I see that I'm not the only one suffering. Someone it makes me feel better. Fuckin' 6th inning.
It's actually not Pam Ward, but you could have fooled anyone here.
Seriously?
Dude the rest of us are getting the spring game! You're missing out, it's awesome!!!
I swear I'm going to punch a baby if I don't get the whole spring game because of this crap (well, not crap, I support the ladies. But right now it's crap).
No offense to softball, but hurry up. I need my fix.
... the batter looks like Frank Thomas.
I was thinking someone snuck Will Campbell into a softball uni.
Ah-hahaha!
I've already looked up the next airing in case this is cut short. It will be Monday at 10 PM.
boo yah!!!!!!!!
Who the F cares about Softball! Get on with the football game!
For real? Take one for the (Football) team and just strike out three straight times. Go get some hot chocolate...you deserve it.
I have waited all day for it to be 8 and now im forced to watch softball. This has lead me to hit the bottle sooner then anticipated. Ill be blacked out before the spring game gets on tv. Nice homer by the way.
Dorain Shaw just got violent on that ball. Damn she smashed it.
Ok, now let's get to watching Mike Shaw
how many innings is this game?
That I'm rooting for everyone to strike out?
It doesn't seem to be helping, so..................maybe?
If so, we're all bad people. I'm leaving for an "extra special" date night in 20 minutes and I need something or I'm going to be really irritable.
but that was a hell of a homer.
IMHE, the announcer actually sounds like a cross between Pam Ward and Joan Cusack. Or maybe it's just me.
Damn it, I can't turn this softball off because if I do I'll get caught up in another show and forget about the spring game. Damn you BTN.
Dual tuner DVR with pic in pic, get into the new millenium:)
Does Directv actually have that?!
This is the first time my son will ever see a game on tv all the way out from Idaho. Hurry up ladies I am trying to break him in.
By the way this is my first post but have been checking in on site for a year
Go Vandals!
Word!
Northwestern's ginger pitcher sucks. Can't she starting getting some damned outs?!
... the way the Northwestern infielders fist-bump the pitcher after a strikeout.
We'll be having the UConn opener before this sandlotters-on-steroids game is over.
My cable has 4 BTN channels why can't one of them show the football game? All 4 chans showing the same softball game. In the fall they will show 2 or 3 different football games at the same time on a Saturday.
The Horror. The Horror.
3. more. outs.
There's like no way they will cut out part of the game, I mean they can't catch it in progress...nice unis, ladies, btw...
Now we don't have to feel bad. Three pitches, three groundouts, and Michigan wins--and I get to see some football.
If this wasn't tape-delayed, meaning the BTN could have scheduled it for ANY GODDAMN TIME IT WANTED, and decided to pin it to the back-end of a sporting event with no time limits.
Well played, BTN. Well played
Go Joe Vandal
lol that girl swung the bat while she was sprinting out of the batter's box.
This could be college women's nude jello wrestling and I'd still be screaming at the TV to "show me some mother f**king football!"
I think I'd probably be ok with that actually................
As long as I knew the full spring game was going to be on afterwards.
Serves you all right for not making it to the game today!!!
Just kidding. I can't wait to watch it again
We need to start a new thread when the game actually starts
"Spring Game and Last 3 Innings of Michigan v. NW Softball Open Thread."
Who knew the last inning and a half of a softball game not involving drunk men stumbling around the basepaths on a Saturday could take as long as a 9 inning game of actual baseball?
The most awkward sponser of college football...
Oh wait, softball is on still. 2 more outs!
