Late Afternoon Open Thread
Early games are still in action, but wanted to get this out before I lose focus and forget. Not a lot of 3:30pm games compared to usual. Keep an eye on Wisconsin vs a real opponent (OSU) and Indiana. Virginia has made a living playing horrible in September than come alive in October.
I'll have the TV on Wisconsin@OSU and Bama'@OleMiss, and ESPN360 on Indiana@UVa. Game that I'll probably miss but want to see is Oregon@UCLA.
The mid-afternoon/early-evening shift via AwfulAnnouncing, chronologically then by my interest:
2pm
- New Mexico @ Wyoming (MTN)
3:30pm
- Alabama @ Mississippi (CBS)
- Wisconsin @ Ohio State (ABC/ESPN)
- Oregon @ UCLA (ABC)
- Indiana @ Virginia (ESPN360)
- Connecticut @ Pittsburgh (ABC/ESPN)
- Navy @ Rice (CBS College Sports)
- Baylor @ Oklahoma (ABC)
- Bowling Green @ Kent State (FS Ohio)
- Georgia Southern @ North Carolina (ESPN360)
- Marshall @ Tulane (CSS, CST)
- Gardner-Webb @ Buffalo (Time Warner-NY)
4pm
- Duke @ North Carolina State (ESPNU)
6pm
- Utah @ Colorado State (MTN)
6:30pm
- Maryland @ Wake Forest (ESPN360)

On Wisconsin (or bomb Wisconsin, see if I care, I just want OSU to lose)
October 10th, 2009 at 3:39 PM ^
the UW/OSU game and Bama/Ole Miss
Anyone else's audio on ABC completely suck?
October 10th, 2009 at 3:40 PM ^
My ABC audio is fine watching on one of those crappy Comcast "digital transport" boxes or whatever they're called.
October 10th, 2009 at 3:39 PM ^
Wooo go Runnin' Bulldogs!!
October 10th, 2009 at 3:45 PM ^
Are they known by the money you keep?
October 10th, 2009 at 3:42 PM ^
Trading 3 and outs to start Bucks-Badgers.
October 10th, 2009 at 3:43 PM ^
Or if you're the OSU band, Woo block in the back called on your team, apparently
October 10th, 2009 at 3:46 PM ^
Bama used the inside screen pass on the fake punt. Great call by Saban.
October 10th, 2009 at 3:47 PM ^
It's a rule that if you're an OSU RB, you have to have an idiotic nickname
October 10th, 2009 at 3:49 PM ^
but Forcier is light years ahead of Pryor.
October 10th, 2009 at 3:53 PM ^
Hey Indiana, wake up, you're playing against effing Virginia.
October 10th, 2009 at 3:57 PM ^
Wisconsin-OSU looks like Yankees-Twins last night, is anybody gonna score today?
October 10th, 2009 at 3:58 PM ^
Wisconsin is starting to win the field position battle, so that at least bodes well.
Bama's getting another drive going.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:02 PM ^
Colin Peek is awesome. McElroy is staring him down pretty regularly.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:05 PM ^
Ole Miss makes a goal line stand aided by a Bama false start. 3-0 Bama 2:45 left in first.
October 10th, 2009 at 3:58 PM ^
So far so good for Wisconsin. No points scored but their defense is holding serve and doing a good job against Pryor, who BTW, is going to get his receivers killed on plays like the last one.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:00 PM ^
in Wisconsin's favor, +10 yards per possession. One has the feelinng this game will be another 21ish-17ish affair, with the team getting the big turnover coming out on top. I'm betting on a big Pryor INT.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:01 PM ^
And they're finally moving the ball now, cool. Yes, I'd put money on a big Pryor INT in just about any game.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:03 PM ^
I am so jealous of OSU's tackling. I have seen two plays already where the defender (once a LB and once a CB) made a superb open-field tackle.
Also: Wisconsin is putting together a nice drive here. 1st-10 from the 31.
EDIT: Just as I begin to praise Wisky, Tolzien throws a pick. WTF.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:03 PM ^
Hey Millen, if you love him so much why don't you draft him?
Also, wow was that a bad pick-6
October 10th, 2009 at 4:16 PM ^
but thankfully he's not running the Lions anymore.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:04 PM ^
OSU's offense doesn't look that good so far. Though their defense just scored. Is there any hope that our offensive speed can counter OSU's defensive strength?
October 10th, 2009 at 4:05 PM ^
decision - that play will probably be the difference in the game.
Wisco should have at least gotten a field goal on that drive - that is a ten point swing with that pick.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:06 PM ^
I still think Wisconsin isn't as good as their record and they're gonna have a long day, they're just no match for OSU
October 10th, 2009 at 4:05 PM ^
You will not beat Ohio State by giving away easy points.
Like, duh.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:09 PM ^
Baylor and OU are scoreless after 1. Baylor may go for 4th & =1 to start the 2nd quarter.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:12 PM ^
Total Yards 83-51 Baylor
TOP 11:03-3:57 Baylor
Baylor went for it on 4th and 1 and get it.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:19 PM ^
Baylor was going to go on 4th and 8 but had a false start. They caught the pass before the play died. Instead they punt. Still 0-0 12:01 left in 2Q.
Baylor's backup QB (as they lost Griffin for the year) has looked really good. Not very mobile, but just enough. Made some good, accurate throws despite a lack of arm strength.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:10 PM ^
Wow, that looked like the QB avoidance stick in NCAA
October 10th, 2009 at 4:11 PM ^
the ball again - need to avoid the turnover this time.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:12 PM ^
Who in the hell is commentating this Virginia - Indiana game? It's just so awful.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:14 PM ^
expect? Virginia v. Indiana, we are talking about Virginia v. Indiana
October 10th, 2009 at 4:16 PM ^
Pam Ward's little sister.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:21 PM ^
I actually think this guy is a dude, but you're right, there is a definite similarity in their voices. Bleh.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:15 PM ^
I don't know if it's just the red they wear, but OSU's defense just looks bigger everyone else's.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:18 PM ^
Did anyone else grimace when they heard the final score of the Vols/Dogs game? I couldn't be happier if Kiffin lost every game he coaches at UT.
The final score was 45-19 Tennessee.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:20 PM ^
I missed what happened to Herron. What happened? Serious?
Woo pick!
October 10th, 2009 at 4:21 PM ^
There's Pryor's big INT
October 10th, 2009 at 4:21 PM ^
Speaking of that big Pryor interception...
October 10th, 2009 at 4:22 PM ^
a TD here - must take advantage of the field position.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:23 PM ^
fumbled snap routine.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:23 PM ^
WOOOOO TD on a fake FG!
October 10th, 2009 at 4:23 PM ^
What a great fake, go Wisconsin.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:23 PM ^
WOW WHAT A FAKE!
October 10th, 2009 at 4:24 PM ^
Play to win the game.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:24 PM ^
call with the fake fg - this had better stand up under review.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:25 PM ^
"Well he just pulled out too soon." Ahh yes, always a problem.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:27 PM ^
That's ok, on TBS they would have said they "fisted" it into the end zone
October 10th, 2009 at 4:29 PM ^
to pull it out too soon than too late.
Amirite?
October 10th, 2009 at 4:27 PM ^
This referee is pure torture.
"After further review" x3 - "The call on the firm!"
