[shadow_operative2.0 15,835]

7-0 Sparty, 13 seconds in.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,835]

Hard to believe Fitz has been there 16 years. 

[bolverk 29,405]

I don't recall gold being one of Northwestern's colors.

But that was one helluva catch.

NW unis are... interesting. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,835]

Yeah, these NW unis are fucking awful. 

[deadshank 24,651]

Beth Mowins is why I hate equal opportunity employment for women.  
 

She is so friggin’ awful.  That voice and delivery is beyond terrible.   

[shadow_operative2.0 15,835]

Fucking Ks, man.

And by interesting you mean terrible. Seems to be the norm in sports across all leagues. Teams deviating from their normal uniform colors to dumb shit.

She actually knows the game, but you would think they could put some type of voice filter on her.  Her voice nearly always makes me change the channel.

Why is North Texas playing Washington under the titles of Michigan St and Northwestern?

They look like they're playing at a Renaissance fair. 

[bolverk 29,405]

Stadium environment switch is a bit disappointing.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,835]

You can barely even fucking see the NW players against the turf in some of these angles.

Ok, can’t take it anymore. MUTE

Edit: this was meant for Beth, not your post.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,835]

Whoa, the 3rd & 7 3-yard pass actually worked thanks to his effort. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,835]

14-0, easy game. 

[bolverk 29,405]

No 11 from State did a good job correcting to get out of the way and make a block.

[deadshank 24,651]

Ugly teams

Ugly stadium

Ugly field

Ugly voice

(but I’ll watch)

Women have no business broadcasting football.  Not one of them has ever been any good at it.  And there are plenty of womens' sports on tv for them to talk about.  If that makes me a sexist, so be it.

[Wally Fairway 5,525]

Northwestern doing their best impression of Bishop Sycamore. Coach Fitz will get that changed

i'm gonna get politically incorrect..... mowins' nasal accent with the negative inflection that stresses the exact opposite syllable is almost as grating to my brain as listening to south asians who speak fluent english at 90mph in a high-pitch monotone with no breaks between words or sentences that literally is the definition of jibberjabbish.

[Homercles 10,205]

Ok so I’ve watched two B1G and one ACC games the last 24 hours, I have concluded that these offenses look like the last time mack and sally fucked…forever to get to the action, lots of dust, and ultimately pointless.

[Funk Doctor Spock 11,923]

What is this, shitty jersey day? MSU looks like a high school team with their jerseys. Just awful.

Beth Mowins

[Vic Mackey 46,936]

This is really the only game on tonight?

[honolulu horn 6,157]

I said it in the UNC - VT thread, but the thing I hate most about Beth Mowins is that she pronounces the "r" sound like a fucking pirate. Just listen for it and you'll never unhear it.  It's so grating and unlistenable.

this.  not watching.   flipped the channel within seconds of hearing that grating nasal snort.

the game has to be ultracompelling to make me watch with the sound off.  this game ain't that.

south dakota state it is.

S Dakota St @ Colorado St on FS1

Unless you want to watch South Dakota St at Colorado State on FS1

ESPN+ has South Dakota at Kansas iff'n that interests ya. KU up 7-0 at the half.

[Nicole44 22,027]

Also, this is O/T to this game...but I love the jack rabbits uniforms for South Dakota State. Love them. 

[deadshank 24,651]

The way she draws out her “owwwwwwwwes” and her hard “haaaaaaacking A’s” are the worst of the worst Midwestern brogue. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,835]

Don't like NW's chances to go 99 here.

Well thanks for putting that shit in my head.

 

Hey remember  "Sky Rockets in Flight.... Afternoon Delight"

Hope that burns a hole in your memory...

Hot take: Michigan State shouldn’t have an athletic program

[ztejas 43,266]

Do you think that guy is about to murder his family in the ad where they're driving around until they lose cell service?

I'm choosing to interpret it that way.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,835]

21-0 Sparty.

Damn -- NW was a 3.5pt favorite tonight 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,835]

And it opened at like 7. 

[BrickHorn 18,194]

Looks like Northwestern went out and hired the White Castle graphic artists.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,835]

21-7 with a minute left in the half. 

[Prepuce of Doom 20,988]

"Trey Pugh" sounds an awful lot like that one asshole who kept showing up around here a while ago.

You’re gonna need to be a lot more specific.

That seemed like one long-ass halftime.

[millhouse 2,587]

They're not dead yet

[Droopy 2,624]

Buncha haters up in this motherfucker!!!!

Northwestern is going to come back on Sparty in the second half and march their way to another division title! GO CATS!!

 

I got nothing. I want them to do well, but this ain't going to happen this year. The QB blows, despite being the #1 QB recruit coming out of HS. Hope the Defense finds its way, but the O is just not going to get it done this year.
