Yeah we get it along with a bunch of FOX Sports channels and the NHL Network for like $3 a month through Time Warner.

Ahh, so can't wait for Saturday. Get done with my Saturday morning show around 9am, leave Napoleon and head back home, getting back around 10. Turn around and head out to Buffalo Wild Wings with my two bosses for some noon wings, beer, and Navy-Notre Dame football. And hopefully leaving there with a Navy win as I really don't want to have to sit there at the end of a Notre Dame win with both of those assholes. :D

Oh they wouldn't care. My one boss on the country station is a self-proclaimed asshole. He's said so many times. And the other boss, on the Hot AC station, just this past Friday, he asked me in the morning if I could get weekend weather taken care of for all three stations since he didn't get a chance to, I said "listen to this lazy bastard" right there to my other boss and he proceeded to make a "Seaman lover" comment due to my being a Navy fan and we all laughed and went about our business

And that is why I love my job. We are all extremely laid back. We call each other bastards, assholes, other random insults on a daily basis while sitting there in the office or studio or wherever else in private, etc. We are always making cracks at each other on air, etc. The greatest job I've ever had. :D The hours may suck a lot, especially during the winter when our Christmas for Kids and Neighbors in Need campaigns get going and I'm practically living in the building 24 hours a day, but it's all worth it. Add in all the sweet ass perks (concert tickets, sports tickets, other event tickets, etc) and I'm going be working at that place for a long time. :D

To build upon this, I spent a fair portion of my afternoon today making obscene comments about Notre Dame and leprechauns to my boss, all the while he was continuing to make Navy and "Seaman" comments. God I love my job. :D

Navy up 7-3 on ND late in 1st quarter
Iowa State up 7-0 at Texas early
NW up 7-0 on MSU

Some early notable action.

JeffHCross
10-23-2010, 01:44 PM
In the 4th quarter of most of the noon games ...

Texas trails Iowa State 21-6, and just gave Iowa State the ball on a fumble.
Michigan State is staging a furious comeback against Northwestern; Northwestern leads 24-21, and just got a wide-open first down on a 3rd and long. 12 minutes to go.
Ohio State is blowing Purdue away, 49-0.
Navy is absolutely rolling Notre Dame ... 35-10. Notre Dame has switched QBs, and suddenly has an offensive spark.

Smooth is going to be a happy man.

This is the first time I've noticed this, and will probably mean nothing to most of you ... but is hilarious to me.

"Starting in 2010, Raycom Sports has branded its 12:00 PM ET ACC football games as ACC Network."

The kicker there is that Raycom Sports does syndicated ACC games. So the "ACC Network" is on random local affiliates, with completely differing quality levels. Far cry from the Big Ten Network, that is.

So the "ACC Network" is the reason why I couldn't watch Navy-Notre Dame on TV?

So the "ACC Network" is the reason why I couldn't watch Navy-Notre Dame on TV?If your CBS affiliate is one of the Raycom stations ... yep. Funny enough for me ... I have two NBC stations on my cable provider. But the local Raycom affiliate is the "My Network" station. Then one of the NBC stations is too. So the same game is on "My Network" and the non-DC NBC station. It's very weird looking on my guide.

To make things more entertaining, the NBC station is broadcasting their SD quality on their HD station. Ouch.



Michigan State gets a circus-worthy one-handed catch to go up 28-27. Ball was deflected by the NW DB, but caught one-handed by the receiver as he was going to the ground.

JeffHCross
10-23-2010, 02:11 PM
Sigh. In what universe should Georgia Tech @ Clemson get national coverage on either ABC or ESPN, while #16 Nebraska @ #14 Oklahoma State doesn't get any ESPN coverage, and is only on ABC in the Big 12/MWC area.

Likewise, #13 Wisconsin @ #15 Iowa is on ABC in the Big Ten and Pac 10 and on ESPN Standard Definition everywhere else.

So the unranked game is the only one on ESPN HD. Ugh.

JeffHCross
10-23-2010, 02:18 PM
Northwestern doesn't manage to get anything on offense, and Michigan State will escape Evanston with a 1 point victory.

Except they scored a touchdown while trying to run out the clock, and will instead win 35-27.

WOOOO!!!! Damn straight! Navy coming out today and just punching Notre Dame right in the mouth. THAT is the Navy I have been waiting to see all season long. And what a hell of a day by Alexander Teich, ending the game with 210 yards rushing and 1 receiving touchdown. He became the first FB in Navy history to have a 200+ yard game.

What a day for running the ball. Navy threw 2 passes the entire game. The touchdown pass to Teich on Navy's first drive (after stuffing ND on the one yard line on 4th down) and then the surprise 40 yard pass Dobbs laid right over the shoulders and into the hands of Greg Jones on 3rd and 6 in the third quarter, taking advantage of the ND defense expecting the run. Other than that, it was a cool 367 yards rushing on 60 rushes for Navy today. God I love the Navy offense!

And the great job the defense did today. Forcing Crist to throw two interceptions (and if Middleton had been able to get down in bounds, it would have been three INTs) and ultimately forcing Kelly to yank him out of the game in the 4th quarter. Either today was just a massive, horrible fluke, or Crist is NOT the Irish football savior that I have seen many Notre Dam fans make him out to be.

I'll be honest, I had nothing but faith in Navy today and have been expecting a win every day since last season's Navy-Notre Dame game, but even I was surprised with how easy Navy made that look today. Did Notre Dame bring their JVs to the game today on accident and leave the varsity in South Bend or something? I still am somewhat shocked at how Navy was able to just roll right over ND with ease.

Unreal....and makes the loss to Texas last week even more unbearable. :sick: :smh:Eh, I don't agree with that. If Wisconsin crapped the bed today against Iowa, that wouldn't change last week's game. Texas didn't show up ... at all ... today. Or at least not until inside 10:00 in the 4th quarter, when they suddenly scored 15 points.

The only thing :sick: worthy from the Nebraska-Texas game was the drops.

I don't know....ISU put up 28 today and NU hasn't scored an offensive TD vs. Texas in their last eight quarters of play. Pretty tough to stomach. The defense is looking poor at times vs OSU today.

Wisc still up at Iowa, but Iowa is driving.

Wisconsin just ran the greatest punt fake I've ever seen.

I just finished watching the game this morning. Man special teams had a major impact on this game. Iowa had their first XP blocked and then a bad snap screwed up a chip shot FG. 4 points not on the board right there. Just the XP alone would have kept the game alive.

Everyone wants to talk about how gutsy a call Dantonio had against Notre Dame but that fake punt was far crazier. Just over 6 minutes, down 6 and deep in your own half you run that play?! If you don't get it Iowa gets a FG to ice the game. But that was almost comical how easy the punter ran for the first down. I wonder why NFL teams don't line up in the spread punt formation more often. Wisconsin also converted a 4th down on the game winning drive.

People make fun of Les Miles well Ferentz needs to be called out for using his last time out with 12 seconds left. Iowa gets a first down, is lined up to spike the ball as soon as it is set and Ferentz calls a time out? That saved no time and on the very next play they complete a 5 yard pass (on Wisconsin's 40 to 45 yard line I think) and they don't get out of bounds and the game ends. Dumb.

LSU's offense is horrible. Jordan Jefferson can't pass and Jarrett Lee can't run the option. It's like they don't know what to do and the product is lousy.

Just over 6 minutes, down 6 and deep in your own half you run that play?!Honestly, I didn't think it was crazy at all. That was just great coaching by Wisconsin. Iowa had only sent two men at the punter all day. So give the kid the option to run it if it's open ... and it was.

He could've kept running too if he had run behind his blocker rather than running in front of him and sliding.
