NCAA Football, 2014-2015

Hear hear. I tried watching the SEC Network. Christ.

They have this annoying habit of leaving the picture unaltered when half the field is in shadow.

[Ed Anger]

The call-ins.

The call-ins.

Oh, I don't know...I get all the channels as well, and not even EWTN and Sister Angelica could smoke more Notre Dame cock than what happens on the Longhorn Network.  At least the SEC mixes it up, and it's not all Gators and Alabama.

FWIW, the 538 blog gives arizona a 27% chance of making the playoff if they beat Oregon. Sounds about right.

Wisconsin is opening as a 3 pt favorite over Ohio State.

OSU DT Kosta Karageorge is reported missing. Vanished yesterday after some kind of drama happened. Has no ID on him because for some reason his girlfriend has his wallet.

Apparently they found his body.  Self inflicted gun shot wound.

The Pac-12 blog said there was actually a scenario where no SEC team gets in?

Alabama loses to Missouri, and Missouri has two very bad losses (shutout by Georgia, loss to a Big Ten team that itself only has a single Big-10 win).

But that would seem crazy, to not have the second best conference in the country in the playoff....

Hopefully the best conference will be represented by Baylor and TCU and the second best conference will get either Arizona or Oregon.

Florida State will probably have to round it out.

on the Longhorn Network.

The LHN does not have a call in show

I also resent the implication that a team of analysts that comprises entirely of former UT players would have any bias.  Actually I do really like David Thomas and Dan Neil breaking down the games.  It is nice to hear people talk about UT Football who actually watched the game and know something about the team.

I'm a product of 1970's television.  I liked it better when it was called "Hee Haw."

Ohio State played one power conference team out of conference

No, they played an ACC team.

So it looks like WVU has a good shot at getting the Liberty Bowl.  I can live with that

Sorry about the tough end to their season.  Texas had a nice run until the Thanksgiving Day Massacre.  Now they will get some middling SEC team in the Texas Bowl.

A Tennessee show?  WTF?  Does Texas look like Tennessee to you?

Well we are both Orange and go by 'UT'
