I was impressed that Penn State was able to shut down Illinois offense in the second half.  Glad Michigan doesn’t play the Nitts this year.
A decade of Victory over Penn State.

All in since 1969

A "general" college degree is an entry to a lot of jobs that don't require knowledge in that subject matter.  You have to be willing and able to work at it.
I'm a novice fan/follower in the DB Cooper Caper.And evidently the FBI was big in hiring attorneys or accountants as agents then molding them

 And yes to the Penn State I was listening to the OSU/MSU game on the radio and had that game on the tv while working around the house. The Illini scored very early not sure if it was in their 1st possession or not.Have no idea what they or Bert were doing but they weren't stepping on the gas

well damn, though I was up didn't catch much of the Dawgs/Tide game as last I looked Tide had things in hand by the end of 3

Couldn't know the Bulldogs would score three touchdowns over the final 9:46. Alabama got the only one it needed.Georgia went for it five times on fourth down and made them all. That helped make up from a 3-of-15 performance on third down.

I was driving at noon yesterday and listened to games on Sirius for the first time. Actually not bad, if you are stuck without television. Easy to transition among 6 different games, including all the B1G ones. I think they just link to one side's radio. Was listening to "Boilermaker radio" for a bit.

I feel weird because I used to really like radio since I grew up without cable. But I got an app that streams to my phone. So if I’m driving, I just play the TV broadcast on my phone and listen.

It’s probably not the best idea, and I honestly probably would try radio but the apps I’ve used are just not very good for it.

Yeah, I used to stream from my phone, but eventually got frustrated with it and prefer the radio where I can flip channels from my steering wheel. I know technology constantly upgrades, so maybe in my next car it will make more sense to stream.

Sirius channel 84 is constantly updating scores and will send you to some of the bigger games around the country to listen to snippets.  If you’re in a car it’s not a bad way to keep up with what is happening.

It was weird yesterday.  I was at a golf outing, so had the phone available to occasionally check scores  

- Michigan Up big against Minnesota, makes sense

-What is going on with Nebraska and Purdue with 00 so late in the game?

Quite a bit later:

-What the F? Michigan 24, Minnesota 14??

-ahh, Huskers pulling away.  


And it just continued last night. Had two televisions on watching the buckeyes versus Spartans and Alabama versus Georgia. Turn that game off and then check the score much later and was like what the hell?

Crazy day.  

Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

On a few occasions I've listened to games there where they had both broadcasts. The display says either:
  • Georgia (bcast) at Alabama, or
  • Georgia at Alabama (bcast).
On my prior vehicle you could option the display to show song title on your presets (loved that). If you did that and loaded the games as your presets it would show the scores and quarter. That way, you could glance down and see which one was most intriguing. If that didn't make sense, the presets display might look like:

  • 1Q Ore 7 UCLA 3
  • 4Q GA 28 AL 33
So, you could glance at that and see that Oregon and UCLA was close but it was early in the game. You'd also see that the UGA/Bama game that looked over at 30-7 was suddenly looking close at 28-33.
