  1. @ERhine IIRC used to have a thread for this type of content
  2. They had a few thousand, but it was similar to Colorado St/ULM’s showing than UTSA.
  3. I’ve liked the FCS spring game idea for years now. I’d love to play SFA (now a UT system school) or Incarnate Word in a glorified scrimmage that is purely an exhibition. But ban P4 games in the regular season against FCS opponents.
  4. Cross posting from the College Gameday thread. https://awfulannouncing.com/college-football/fox-traded-ohio-state-oregon-big-ten-schedule-draft.html#
  5. Yes, I’m replying to myself because this is the thing that irritates me the most about aggy. I get that all fan bases (including ours) will make up bullshit insider narratives about rival programs and argue opinions all day and night…but aggy fucking makes shit up that can be easily disprove with a quick Wikipedia search, and then they will continue to repeat that clear outright lie for YEARS…and it doesn’t matter how many times that “fact” is disproved they will continue repeating it until it recited in fish camp by every incoming freshman.
  6. The OU game is sandwiched between conference games like it usually is. This isn’t even remotely true and nobody even challenged it which means it is now considered a fact over there. They truly are pathetic.
  7. As usual, they are wrong. But I assume they are used to that…
  8. They realize Michigan’s DL are rated as one of the best in the country and likely will all get drafted this year? Why do I even ask rhetorical questions when dealing with their mass cognitive dissonance?
  9. And Kentucky beat #6 Ole Miss the week before as well. Gives the coaches lots of film and motivation material to use with the team. Might be the best bye week we’ve ever had.
  10. The additional Friday night games were an agreement to get Oregon and Washington money from FOX. Without them their money would have come out of Nebraska’s pocket. Michigan, Ohio St, and Penn State did not opt out of Friday night games, its just that their games were not approved by NBC/CBS to drop past the top 3 picks to the FS1/BTN inventory. Ohio State versus Marshall on FOX pulled 4 million viewers while Nebraska vs UTEP on FOX only pulled 1.6 million. Nebraska versus Illinois on Friday pulled 4.2 million. That’s why Nebraska will continue to play on Friday and Ohio State will not.
  11. The additions of Oregon and Washington were both after this deal was already in place. Still, it’s clear that giving both CBS and NBC exclusive windows was an obvious mistake. I think they’ll trade a game or two each season to CBS/NBC so going forward they can broadcast later games as an exception to those exclusive windows once or twice a year. FOX also should start promoting games they don’t broadcast. They are the top broadcasting partner of the Big Ten and they are going to Provo promoting BYU while Gameday goes to cover one of that conference’s biggest games of the year. That makes no sense.
  12. They got tOSU/Michigan and Michigan/Texas, then they traded the #3 pick to NBC who picked fOSU/Oregon. They did this because putting a West Coast game in Oregon on FOX’s Big Noon time slot (the only Saturday time slot FOX can use, since they gave CBS and NBC exclusive time slots) would have started the game at 9am local time. https://awfulannouncing.com/college-football/fox-traded-ohio-state-oregon-big-ten-schedule-draft.html#
  13. Oklahoma is ranked and is our major rival, our players and coaches aren’t going to sleepwalk into the Cotton Bowl Georgia will be a top 10 matchup at home likely with Gameday, they aren’t overlooking that one. Vandy just upset #1 Alabama in Nashville, that helps the coaches show the team that we can’t look past them. Copy/Paste the above for: Arkansas beating #4 Tennessee Kentucky beating #6 Ole Miss (plus playing #1 UGA close) aggy beating #9 Mizzou Only Florida doesn’t have a readymade storyline for the coaches to sell.
  14. In fairness, we are ranked as the #1 team in the nation, so isn’t this true for all the teams we play?
  15. FOX got last pick of the Big Ten games this week. NBC got fOSU/Oregon CBS got Pedo/USC FOX only does games on FOX so their choices this week were limited to: Washington/Iowa Purdue/#23 Illinois Minnesota/UCLA Rutgers/Wisconsin Arizona/#14 BYU #11 Iowa State/West Virginia
  16. If they win this week they’ll probably take it unless we destroy OU 49-0 again.

  20. He meant fOSU
  21. Oregon was ranked behind Georgia this week. Not sure either of their wins would mean enough to jump Oregon over Georgia.
  22. They didn’t say, but I assume it’s because everyone and their mom knew Vandy was going to rush the field and they wanted to make sure they got him out of there as soon as they could to prevent any possible incidents with their star players.
  23. Probably but it won’t be announced until next Sunday. It’s one of the only two 6 day windows for the SEC with ABC/ESPN.
