@SSR

Spielman and Griese are talking over each other and the WWL (alleged) is too busy interrupting Navy-Suckeyes for Paulus highlights.

Plus no Doc Walker this week that's good for 15 comments a half at least

From Matt Devlin, announcing for the Big Ten Network in the Penn State-Akron game: "Everything they've done defensively (Penn State) can be attributed to their defense."

And we wonder why the BTN is not in more markets...

Some of the announcers they put on those low-end Big Ten Network games I've never even heard of. Dan Gutowsky?

Navy is giving Ohio State a fight. The Big Ten needed 1 day to embarrass themselves.

TJX said...

"Did he have possession." - Dave Pasch

The Navy receiver freaking got dragged for a yard or so and that's an obvious fumble.

Now Pasch has no idea what the rules are involving reviewing plays.

Well that's game. Ohio State manages to survive.

OHIO STATE COME ON!!!!!

"Let's see if they'll go for 1 or 2 right now." - Spielman

It's a 9 point game so what happens if you miss the 2? Gosh Spielman that's basic math.

TJX said...
Sep 5, 2009, 2:43:00 PM  

Wow. Navy is actually back in this thing.

Surely not the first time that Paulus has said that...

Justin F. said...
Sep 5, 2009, 3:11:00 PM  

I still think the best comment from the Navy/OSU game was in regards to Terrelle Pryor's eye black. Paraphrased:
Terrelle has Mike under one eye and Vick under the other. We are not sure if that is a reference to Michael Vick.

Back to me:
Wait, you arent sure? You arent sure thats a reference to Michael Vick? Really?!?!?!

The infallible Paulus gets sacked. Ward and Bentley are devastated.

I know this is the Pam Ward Chronicles, but check out this quote from Dick Stockton during the Giants-Brewers game. He actually asked Brewers manager this question.

My tolerance for Russell's goofs on the field he makes on a regular basis was reached last year.

This was completely unexpected.

TJX said...
Sep 5, 2009, 5:10:00 PM  

"It took Dez Bryant 25 minutes to get his first catch. Why?" - Holly Rowe to Mike Gundy in an interview

@ 49er16: Do realize there are 3 stages in life. At first you're a kid and you believe in Santa. Then you grow up and realize there is no such as Santa (sorry little kids who are reading this). Then you get so old that you become senile and believe in Santa again. Dick Stockton is at that last stage.

Justin F. said...
Sep 5, 2009, 5:11:00 PM  

@JFein, Juan Uribe just hit a Werth off of Lincecum type of homer and Dick Stockton called it like it barely went over the wall.

Joe Buck shows more enthusiasm, then Stockton did for that call.

@jgreul, I'm a Cal fan and this game scares the s&^%t out of me. Cal is prone to losing these type of games. See: Last year's Cal-Maryland game.

Someone posted about the Georgia/OK State game, and how the announcer/score bug was wrong.

It said, What happened next was almost funny: Typically dull McDonough introdced himself, Matt Millen, and Holly Rowe. The Graphic at the top (below the score bug this time) read: SEAN MCDONOUGH MIKE MILLEN

OU can win out and still be in the BCS Championship game.... how the fuck is this possible.

USC would have to lose 2

Texas would have to lose 2 (including OU)

Florida would have to lose 2

not announcing but a little problem with graphics:
on the Arkansas local coverage vs. Missouri State (seen on Game PLan)...
after the first Hogs score, an on-screen graphic came up "FALCONS TOUCHDOWN!"...then it corrected itself with "CARDINALS TOUCHDOWN!"....never did see a graphic for "RAZORBACKS TOUCHDOWN!" I guess they gave up.

Whoever said theres no way Oklahoma can make the championship game now unless teams like florida, texas, etc lose two... not really sure thats true. theyre prob only going to fall to 10th or so....if oklahoma wins out that would include a win over texas, if they all have one loss you could easily make a case for ok being in there, depending on how it ends up

Davie Jones (don't know which idiot) commented on a camera shot of Interstate 5 and said "I don't know if that's northbound or southbound".

If only there were a clue--like cars going in both directions.

They also announced that "Cutera" returned an interception for a touchdown.

"Jailbait screen". He immediately corrected it to "jailbreak screen", but I heard "jailbait" at first. I'm pretty sure it was Rod Gilmore during the Mississippi @ Memphis game, but I watched so many games this weekend that I don't want to swear to it.
