11 time slot sucks.... 2:30 and 7 pm are loaded

Lots of Big 10 teams with the early kickoff today, which really got me thinking about how this conference will shake out. Penn State tied at 3 with BUFFALO mid way through the 2nd quarter, Wisconsin tied at 7 with the CITADEL in the 2nd quarter. Coming into today, I thought that those two were the class of the conference. Maybe Ohio State will separate themselves today with the big game in Seattle, but man... this conference appears to be WIDE open. Also, Auburn is losing 10-0 at home to Mississippi State, and Brandon Cox has been pulled from the game (about damn time). Good for Sly Croom, who could really use a big win, and bad bad bad for Auburn. This team continues to disappoint and is right with Notre Dame right now as far as pathetic offense goes. I'm really hoping these upcoming games provide better viewing, because it's slim pickins right now.

11 am time slot

The weak 11 time slot means I have to help my wife paint all morning.  She has been told I stop right at 2:30 though.

The ESPN studio setup

Did anyone just see the way ESPN has all the games on for their  halftime team?  Why were they watching on such small tvs and non-hd?

LOL

Why are you helping your wife too much? :)

Charles Davis Sighting

Looks like he latched on with the Big 10 network.  If only they could Andre Ware to join the booth...

Hey PB!

If looks could kill....

I just thought it was funny

Corso stopped being entertaining a while ago but it was  funny to see the reaction on their faces.
