M*ch*g*n / M*ch*g*n State relegated to BTN at 3:30. Wow. Unexpected.

LOL. Now that is funny.

[JeffHCross]

I honestly don't understand the stranglehold the Big Ten must have on ESPN. Some of the game times and broadcast decisions have made zero sense to me. I know the Big Ten has an extremely favorable deal with ESPN, but it must be even more favorable than I knew.

So I came to a realization yesterday. I really don't give a damn about big school college football. There were some great, big time games yesterday at noon, but I instead had no interest at all in any games except Brown/Princeton on NBCSN, and Kent State/Army on CBSSN.

So I'm focusing mainly on the small schools this week. I still have some biggies on there, Ohio State's game, NC-Duke and FSU-Miami, though those are gonna be a secondary "pop in every now and then" games. I'm gonna focus on Penn/Yale at noon, flip back and forth between Indiana/Navy and Rice/Tulsa at 3:30 (though Indiana/Navy will get 95% of my viewing time), and probably spend most of my watching time on Marshall/Southern Miss at 7.

As someone once said to me ...

great input there.

So I came to a realization yesterday. I really don't give a damn about big school college football.

You JUST realized this? Nicely done.

[SmoothPancakes]

You JUST realized this? Nicely done.

I meant in terms of watching on TV. I would always watch the big games in the past. The 7 and 8pm games on ABC and ESPN, the afternoon games on ABC and CBS, and ESPECIALLY the rivalry games. But this season, I just haven't cared about those games, especially this past weekend. Any other year in the past, I would have been sitting there watching the Red River Shootout from start to end. Now granted it was an ass whooping by Oklahoma this year, but I just wasn't interested in it whatsoever. I found Kent State/Army and Brown/Princeton much more entertaining to watch yesterday than any other game that was on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, FX or FSN.

You clearly need to drink the Kool-Aid that is Collin Klein. Then you would have had a better game to watch.

You should drink the Kool-Aid that is Dri Archer at Kent State. The kind of running I saw from that kid yesterday, good lord. Granted it is Army we're talking about, but the moves that kid made while making 8 different Army defenders either miss him or just plain get their ankles broken by him during one play while I was watching, just abusive.

[NatureBoy]

From College Gameday's Facebook page: We’re heading to Gainesville this Saturday for the South Carolina vs Florida game!

Can’t wait until we get to The Swamp!

I hate the fact we got the CBS 3:30 PM Game. South Carolina has only won one time playing on CBS in that time slot. It was 2010 vs #1 Bama. Other than that one game, we have always stunk up the joint. I hope it isn't a long afternoon for USC.

Edit: Make that two wins. I forgot about the Missouri game from earlier this season.

But you missed out on all the new fried food discussion during the game. Guess I will just have to update you on that info.

bdoughty, you have returned to TGT with a vengeance, my friend

[morsdraconis]

WVU only down to 17 and 15? After that absolutely DISGRACEFUL display of football? I'm shocked. We aren't a top 25 team. Not with what we call a "defense" out there.

And Notre Dame too.

I know the computer polls are generally crap early in the year, and better as the year goes along ... but WOW, I can't believe how crazy the computer polls are this year.

Though FSU at #8 and #10 in the human polls, and only ranked in ONE computer poll is rather telling.
