I only count 11. They need one more to round out the douchebag dozen...

I think (and I may be wrong) that move may have something to do with having to bring back the Arkansas/Texas game (and if you loved how Arkansas played against Alabama...) to the ABC Sched.

Damn, Pam Ward's calling the Hoosiers.

yup yup thats stephen thats what I'm thinking the had to add a team for the texas arkanasas game so that pulled a team of of the second 8pm game so they put McDonough and Spielman on that game cuz there better than Wischusen and Huard even tho I personally don't like McDonough he's a solid guy

...the reason that McDonough and Spielman are not doing the Friday game and doing Sat Night is because UConn is in on Friday again, they just did UConn/Baylor last Friday Night and did not want them doing the same team 2 weeks in a row, so they flipped them with Huard and Wischusen for this week.

Good call....thanks for the intel.

Couple of minor corrections: for Kent State-Ball State, the analyst with Jim Barber will be Bob Chmeil (at least, that's what Kent State's game notes say). For Cincinnati-Akron, the Akron release lists Jeff Phelps and Mike Pagel as the announcers.

South Carolina played their first two games on Thursday night and Fowler, Palmer, and James called both.

Erin Andrews is the Saturday whore this year isn't she?

Started the year with Pasch and Ware (actually, has she done a game with them), has been the 2nd on the Saturday Night Football sidelines in big game situations, worked with Gannon and Norrie last week, and moves on now to SpielDonough.

doing an SEC team back to back and one with Spurrier as the coach provides a little bit more to talk about over 2 weeks then the UConn Huskies do, agree? can you think of any other reason then?

Also add in the fact that Wischussen works as Jets PxP man, so doing UCONN/Louisville (NO ERRANT WHISTLES THIS TIME?) works out better than Va Tech/Nebraska

Freakin Rick "Doc" Walker...he thinks he's SO witty, calling the Terps "The Turtles" all game long.

Looks like I'll be dialing up Johnny Holiday on the radio and living with the tv/radio delay.

Thanks, Stephen. I can't get the image of EA in the yellow dress that made Rick Sutcliffe drool all over himself out of my mind.

What happened to Jeanine Edwards, who used to usually do the sidelines with Gannon & Norrie?

yeah, reghi!

northern illinois vs. eastern michigan is going to be a man-sized affair . . .

Why do they show games on ESPN Classic? With No HD I'd rather watch my Wildcats go 5-0 on the B10 network if that's the case.

Like Spike said, that is Mike Pagel and not Jim Hofher on the Cincy-Akron game. Hofher is an Assistant Coach at Bowling Green.

Worst. Cheerleader Picture. Ever.

Ugh. Vern Lundquist and Gary Danielson calling Tennessee-Auburn.

I wonder how long it took to extract their heads from Tim Tebow's ass after the Tennessee-Florida game.

Hopefully this week Mike Patrick can somehow re-live last year, as it was during the Georgia-Alabama game that he made his infamous Britney comment.

Given ESPN's disdain for Big East football and the tremendously awful announcing pair of Ward-Bentley, I'm surprised they continue to get the Big Ten noon game.

But, hey, why am I complaining - I'd rather listen to the ESPN Plus hacks than Pammy anyway. Even if it means I can't provide the money quotes to AA.

Is there a reason ESPN keeps hiding this Lamont guy on Classic (NW-Iowa this week) while promoting non-talents like Jones, Ward, etc? He's easy to listen to, pays attention to the game, works in some good information and even handles the silly promotional stuff well. He never gets the benefit of regular analysts, but his broadcasts are crisp and don't get in the way of the action --- watch the '05 Louisville-West Virginia classic sometime. Maybe I'm old and crotchety like Dr. Z., but I really like announcers who don't try to have a schtick but who have done their homework.

"Coming here to Philadelphia everyone thought (Lidge) he would be so tight"

"But he's been so loose this year"
