NCAA Football '12-13

[Eddie Teach]

I think the last time I got mad at a football commentator was the early 90s.  Starting about mid-season 1993 Lee Corso kept picking WVU to lose each game it played.  Not only that, he always said "[OPPONENT] in a big way over West Virginia".  I swear I think he even picked Temple to beat them.

That's awesome.

Great Tweet from last night. I don't know the OP (@celebrityhottub) but got it through Scott Van Pelt.

"I feel like Mike Leach invited me over for dinner but when I showed up he wasn't ready.  Like nude and making hamburger patties not ready."

PAC-12 Network has some very "80's football" bumper music.  SJSU is tied with Stanford btw.

E: I'm not a big fan of this new helmet rule.

Why are Notre Dame and Navy playing in Ireland?

Why are Notre Dame and Navy playing in Ireland?

Combination of things;  interesting road game, big high school tournament there and a bone to US Armed Forces broadcast as well.


ESPN Game Day's theme song just gave me a woody: 17 hours of college football coverage begins NOW.

[CountDeMoney]

Ah, Notre Dame.  Still bestowing turnovers like an Irish Blessing from last year, I see.

[FunkMonk]

Goddamn CBS are doubling down on the Irish shtick.

[CountDeMoney]

Awesome little piece from the SecNavy on the USS Fort McHenry, though.

"The US Navy and US Marine Corps:  America's away team that no one can defeat."

*POWER PROJECTION BONER: ACTIVATE!*

Wait the early Big 12 game, WV vs Marshall, is not on and instead I get shit like Syracuse vs. Northwestern and East Carolina vs. App State?  What bullshit is this?

[CountDeMoney]

That sucks ass.  Shame you're not getting Ohio-Penn St.  It's at least still a game.

[Valmy]

Ok I bitched too soon it is on FX.  I thought the conference had this big fancy new TV contract how the fuck did their games get on FX? 

[CountDeMoney]

They did a quick blurb on one of the Ohio linebackers;  his brother served in Afghanistan, suffered 14 separate bullet wounds in one action.  And still manages to attend the Ohio home games.

14 bullet wounds.  That's fucking hardcore.  Almost as hardcore as attending Ohio games.

[Ed Anger]

I hate the QB clapping bullshit and RB shifting before a play at Ohio State now. JUST SET UP YOU FUCKERS.

Had my moment of panic at around 11:55am when I didn't see the game on any ESPN channels.  Had to go to the WVU game release to see that it was on FX.  I think Fox Sports has done games on FX before, but it's odd for me not to see this game on ESPN.

Anyway, I got my 60 points just a few seconds into the 4th quarter.  It's 69-20 now, but I must have back to back 70-point games.
