I love that they cut off the stupid announcer who was trying to manufacture some sort of drama and just quickly said it's a touchdown.

After watching football all day, I hate the new clock rules.   Yes please more commercials that is what we want.

Yeah, we get fewer plays and the games run just as long.

Kinda cool of the higher ups to get Rutgers and northwestern on national TV out of the way on a Sunday, week 1


Nobody was going to watch either of these teams during the year and May as well get some ratings with no other games on

[WhatTheBuck 28842]

Rutgers with the pick!

[SameSame 1712]

Woo that RB demolished the linebacker blitzing on 3rd down.  Slammed his ass to the ground

[WhatTheBuck 28842]

You’d better not call that targeting. 

[WhatTheBuck 28842]

Northwestern runs the fake punt. They completed the pass to an open receiver. He didn’t run far enough. Turnover on downs. 

[WhatTheBuck 28842]

NU QB Ben Bryant just took out the RU DE.

[WhatTheBuck 28842]

Pick! Rutgers ball at around the NU 30, leading 17-0 with 1:16 left in the half.

[WhatTheBuck 28842]

Aargh! Stick the ball out to get the first down!

They gave it to him. Now they’re reviewing it. I don’t think he got it.

They let it stand. 

[WhatTheBuck 28842]

Doink! The FG attempt bounces off the right upright. 17-0 at the half. 

[59 Burst 434]

Damn, this is boring football

It's amazing to me that they changed timing rules so that games will go more quickly, but did zero to the replay format.

TD Rutgers. 24-0. 

[WhatTheBuck 28842]

Another pick by Rutgers. Their D has really stifled the Cats today.

NW likely will be the worst FBS team this year. 

[WhatTheBuck 28842]

With 2:45 left, Rutgers muffs a punt and Northwestern recovers. They have the hall at the RU 45. Can they take advantage and avoid the shutout? I’m not betting on it. 

[nineliveslost 2888]

Is the Rutgers D that good or does NW suck that bad?

They went 1-11 last year. I figured they might be improved this year. The whole hazing scandal and Fitz getting fired have really hurt. But I don’t know if they’d be any better if all of that hadn’t happened. It’s too bad because they’re just a few years removed from winning the B1G West. Granted, that was the COVID year, but still. Everything that Fitzgerald had built, they’ve been pouring money into the program with a new practice facility and plans for a new stadium. It’s a real shame that they find themselves in this mess.

Yes. 

TD Cats!

[shadow_operative2.0 16064]

Let's get on with Oregon St (-14) at San Jose St. 

[WhatTheBuck 28842]

Rutgers wins 24-7. I imagine Schiano isn’t happy that they blew the shutout.

Next up, Oregon State at San Jose State. Go Spartans!

[AbeFroman 2946]

I like that stadium, just stands on one side.

I'm trying to find it, but apparently streaming only.  Is this the new PPV?

 

[The Hot Dog Buffet 1292]

Pretty sure it's on CBS.

[shadow_operative2.0 16064]

It is.

It must be a guide error. "Local Programming" apparently means football.

[Asu2215 247]

Local industrial parks being like, 'Damn, that SJSU stadium is fine.'

[Underdog 28878]

Guess the scarlet knight fans satisfied with the outcome left early for a run to the jersey shore one last time for the season. 

[WhatTheBuck 28842]

TD Beavers.

There was more of a crowd early but the stadium was never full even though the announcers said in terms of ticket sales it was a sellout. I doubt many Northwestern fans made the trip. 

[WhatTheBuck 28842]

“Empty set again here for San Jose State, trying to spread out the Beavers as much as they can.”

Lower bowl looked pretty full, I believe I noticed the mass exodus sometime in the 3Q.

What a run

Deion's old team getting fucking murdered.

Spartans are on the board. 7-3 Beavers. 

[WhatTheBuck 28842]

New MWC commissioner Gloria Nevarez being interviewed in the booth. She gave some vague non-answers without really saying anything concrete about the prospects OSU and WSU joining the Mountain West. They’re open to things and they can have those discussions and blah blah blah. Turns out the MWC turns 25 this year, so that was news.

TD OSU. 

[WhatTheBuck 28842]

Disconcerting signals call against OSU.

they didn't care about the time of the game.  They only cared about reducing the number of plays and increasing the opportunities for commercials.  replay gives you more commercials.

[WhatTheBuck 28842]

UIA-GALE-LEI

Okay, I can remember that. 

[WhatTheBuck 28842]

TD Uiagalelei on the QB sneak. 21-3 OSU with 14 sec left in the half. 

[Horn80 6241]

San Jose St  sucks.
