NCAA Week 10 LD

[klunderbunker]

Off to LSU vs. Bama.

 

[Megatron]

You mean TCU/Utah KB.

 

[klunderbunker]

Just to show the respect small teams get, Utah vs. TCU, a top five matchup, isn't on TV (at least that I can find) but Penn State vs. Northwestern is.

 

[Megatron]

CBS CollegeTV I believe is what it's called. I'm watching it. #613 on DirecTV.

 

[klunderbunker]

The fact that it's on a channel that's an offshoot of a major network kind of proves my point.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

Oh wow. TCU is absolutely killing Utah. 3 scores holy crap. 20-0 TCU

 

[Slyfox696]

The fact that it's on a channel that's an offshoot of a major network kind of proves my point.

In fairness, each conference has contracts with television stations, and it's entirely possible, this is just a contract issue. I'm sure if ESPN or ABC could have this game on, they would.

As much as I hate the BCS system, I don't think ESPN is in on the scam. But ESPN isn't going to pay good money for a conference which won't make them money.

 

[klunderbunker]

I figured the contracts had something to do with it, but I have issues with a game with two top five schools being on some sports package only channel. You would think someone would find someway to get it on where more people could see it.

Doesn't seem like it's much of a game at this point...20-0 TCU says ESPN.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

TCU whipping the dog shit out of Utah Youties

 

[Mighty NorCal]

the positive being, its very very early. Plenty of time to come back

 

[klunderbunker]

That didn't stop them last week when Ohio State was up I think 28 points on whoever they were destroying in the fourth quarter while USC and Oregon had 4-5 lead changes in the first half.

Not sure who that comment is directed towards, but I watched the Oregon vs. USC game in its entirety last week.

 

[klunderbunker]

I was looking for it as was my dad. Could only find the Buckeyes destroying someone.

I had it on ABC in its entirety.

 

[klunderbunker]

I got Ohio State and whoever they played last week. My dad is a big USC fan so he was ticked off. I figured it was a region thing.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Yea, just depends on were you live.

It was a literal hold your breath moment when I pushed the info button on my tv to see which game we were getting. Me and the Ol' lady were on the edge of our seat and then both were all YYEEEEEEEEEEEEAAA when the info screen said "Oregon Vs USC"

There must be a LOT of Ohio State fans in the country, because I don't see how they draw ratings. They're the San Antonio Spurs of college football.

 

[klunderbunker]

A lot of graduates I guess. Very boring and I can't stand them.

Yea, just fucking awful. I would rather watch grass grow in december than watch Ohio State play western mighigan or whatever garbage ass team they are playing that week

 

[The Holy One]

Thankfully, North Carolina and Florida State are in a shootout b/c I was about to lose hope in finding an interesting game.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yea, just fucking awful. I would rather watch grass grow in december than watch Ohio State play western mighigan or whatever garbage ass team they are playing that week

That and they beat my Canes in the national title game and got even more smug. ESPN's love fest with them doesn't help either.

 

[The Holy One]

Oh, I loved Ohio State beating Miami in the National Championship game.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

That and they beat my Canes in the national title game and got even more smug. ESPN's love fest with them doesn't help either.

I actually loved that game, just becuase I hated Miami with such an immense passion at that point in my life. That and I had a super ignorant buddy who just incessantly rattled on about Miami this and Miami that and they ALWAYS fucking won.

At few times in my life have I felt joy like I felt when Ohio State won that game, and in the fashion that they did.

 

[klunderbunker]

I love the Canes and had to deal with this huge jerk that loved them and kept telling me how awesome they were.
