Wednesday Night NCAAFB Open Thread Hawaii @LA Tech
September 30th, 2009 at 8:10 PM ^
I started a dynasty with Tech in NCAA '08 for PS2 and won a couple titles within the first 4 years, prompting the Big 12 to invite me to join the conference (and kicking TTU in the process), whereupon I won 2 more MNCs.
I think I got tired of winning and quit playing that dynasty.

There was a LT fan holding up a "move the chains" sign on a Hawaii 3rd and 4 earlier.
I'm predicting multiple picks from LT tonight. This Hawaii QB stares down every receiver. If that guy is covered he goes into deer in head lights mode.
September 30th, 2009 at 8:12 PM ^
Take that back, he's gotten a lot better checking down later in the drive.
September 30th, 2009 at 8:17 PM ^
42 more minutes 'til I can go home.
September 30th, 2009 at 8:19 PM ^
Our National Nightmare is over! Wednesday Night Football is back. And, rejoice everyone, more good news: Tuesday Night Football returns next week when Middle Tennessee plays Troy.
Oh yeah.
Anyway, it should be pointed out that Hawaii was not favored in this game. It was La Tech -5.5 or -6.
September 30th, 2009 at 8:21 PM ^
Yeah, the page I was looking at had all the lines listed, but didn't actually list which team was the favorite. I was confused but didn't care enough to investigate it any further as it's Hawaii and LA Tech.

LOUISIANA TECH IS NOT A NOBODY FEAR THE BULLDOGS IN JOE AILLET STADIUM
September 30th, 2009 at 8:31 PM ^
I bet the over and for Hawaii. The over is not looking great right now though.
September 30th, 2009 at 8:35 PM ^
La Tech looks like old-school New England Patriots. I like them just for that.
September 30th, 2009 at 8:44 PM ^
Gonna see a La Tech WR get 25 receptions for 400 yards like Troy Edwards got against Nebraska?
September 30th, 2009 at 9:07 PM ^
Either way gotta love a Troy Edwards reference - boy was that guy a bust for the Steelers.
September 30th, 2009 at 8:44 PM ^
Is it just me, or does a Wednesday night game featuring Hawaii seem stupid?
They had to have flown in Tuesday, or at least I'd imagine. It's at least a 9 hour flight from Hawaii to Dallas, but I assume they fly right in, so probably 9.5-10 hours. With time changes, if they left at 7am, they'd get in around 9:30 or 10pm at night. I doubt they fly over night and disrupt players sleeping schedule the night before the game.
The flight back wouldn't be as bad, as leaving around 8am gets them back around 2pm. But still, that's 3 days of class missed.
September 30th, 2009 at 8:55 PM ^
Hawaii has been on the mainland for a couple of days. They stay in a Dallas suburb for two nights and go through final practices there.

But, otherwise, yeah its stupid to have them on a Wednesday. Hawaii needs to be on at 12:30 Sunday morning every week for the late night chase special. Thats where it belongs

I have no idea why this post was negged.
September 30th, 2009 at 8:50 PM ^
Long balls intercepted inside the 10 yard line are about the best turnover one can commit. As far as turnovers go and the chances of scoring on any given drive, this in terms of field position is a pretty good deal...if it has to happen. Not in the present case, but I always love when DBs intercept the ball 40-50 yards down field on a fourth and 10 play instead of knocking it down...

Lou Holtz laugh is burning holes into my ears.
September 30th, 2009 at 9:10 PM ^
We interupt this Karl Malone interview to bring you a possible scoring drive. First, these commercials.
Jeebus.
September 30th, 2009 at 9:56 PM ^
The Hawaii QB just got trashed by that Tech D-lineman.
September 30th, 2009 at 10:00 PM ^
have a uniform with more blue? I can swear as a child I saw them with a Red jersey/Blue pant uniform, or something to that order? Anyone know for a fact?
September 30th, 2009 at 10:17 PM ^
I believe this is one of their alternate uniforms.
Edit: Tech uniforms
September 30th, 2009 at 10:19 PM ^
He just got annihilated again. Holy crap that was a hit.
September 30th, 2009 at 10:21 PM ^
That guy is not coming back into this game.
September 30th, 2009 at 10:20 PM ^
Hawaii's QB just got ABSOLUTELY DRILLED.
That guy might not know where he is 2 weeks from now.
September 30th, 2009 at 10:24 PM ^
I can't believe mark may thinks that there should have been a flag. It wasn't late, didn't appear helmet to helmet. Looked good to me. Maybe they should start wearing flags. sheesh.
September 30th, 2009 at 10:27 PM ^
I could see what he's saying. There was obvious helmet to helmet contact. What he neglects is it to be directed helmet contact. The guy went to hit with his shoulder/chest and helmets knocked as a result of it. I think it was the right call to waive it off.
September 30th, 2009 at 10:29 PM ^
Tech's RB is having one hell of a nite.

Dooley's son is building a respectable program down in Louisiana.. Their schedule is tough, but the kid can coach quite well.
