All B1G on Saturday
11 am, ACCN, Illinois at Virginia
Noon, FOX, Oregon at OSU
Noon, BTN, Youngstown State at Michigan State
Noon, ESPNU, Miami (OH) at Minnesota
Noon, BTN, Indiana State at Northwestern
2 pm, ACCN, Rutgers at Syracuse
3 pm, CBSN, Purdue at UConn
3:30, FS1, Ball State at Penn State
3:30, BTN, Buffalo at Nebraska
4:30, ABC, Iowa at ISU
7 pm, FS1, Eastern Michigan at Wisconsin

7:30, BTN, Howard at Maryland
8 pm, ABC, Washington at Michigan
Others:
3:30, Fox, TAMU at Colorado
7 pm, ESPN, Texas at Arkansas
So yeah, not exactly a great slate, though the eyes of the nation will be on the B1G as Iowa/ISU and OSU/Oregon are the premiere games this week. The Michigan-Washington game lost a lot of luster when Washington got bounced by Montana.
-
Obviously OSU is big. Otherwise we better win every game, except Illinois. That's the only one that wouldn't be a black eye loss
-
Oh you know we're getting a black eye somewhere. The question is from who?
-
Whichever Pelini is presently coaching Youngstown State cannot wait to give MSU a black eye
-
The MSU-YSU game would be a lot cooler if Tressel had hired Mark Dantonio after Bo Pelini dipped.
I don't think a Rutgers loss to Syracuse would be all that big of a black eye. The Orange have won each game by at least 20 points.
-
When a member of your conference flails, you just need to up your excuse game.
-
Unless we're massively overreacting to Week 1 scores, I can't consider Iowa losing to Iowa State a bad loss. Last I looked, ISU is still favored by 4.
-

Probably from the Gophers. PJ's teams are notorious slow starters, the back 7 looked as ghastly as I suspected, and no Mo Ibrahim.

Taking on my old Redhawks. They got obliterated by the Bearcats in Week 1.

FOX likes those noon kicks for their big game
I hope tOSU bitched as much as OU

I don't mind them. My preference for a big game is 3:30, but it felt like they were moving every decent game to prime time, which was really annoying. I love the top games being during the day.

Fox and Disney both, consider their 11 AM timeslot to be the national one, and 2:30 to be the regional one. So they push almost all of their marquee matchups either to 11 AM, or primetime.
It wasn't always that way, in the late 90s and early 2000s it was the opposite. 11 AM was their regional timeslot and 2:30 PM was the national timeslot. But they did a lot of market research that showed them they could capture more eyeballs earlier in the day. It was sometime around 2002/2003 that they decided to reverse those.
It's nothing new which is why I don't understand why the Sooners started freaking out about it so much recently. Disney and Fox weren't trying to punish them, in fact it's pretty much the opposite. Their success on the field, producing better ratings, is what pushes them to the national timeslot rather than the regional.
I guess you could hope for more primetime slots, but I'm like Max and I would rather have those during the day.

Well, the Sooners and I agree that we don't give a damn about their market research
the coaches also agree, tough for recruiting kids that played Friday night
Lucky for me the Huskers get a 2:30 kick this Saturday

I get it, but coaches tend to be simple folk, and they're obviously not understanding and therefore discounting the increased exposure they get being broadcast to everyone NOT at the game, with more eyeballs on TV sets at 11/12, compared to 2:30/3:30.
I mean, I get it. I prefer afternoon kicks over morning kicks too. But when you join a conference, that has media deals with broadcast partners, part of the money they're paying your school, is to broadcast the games whenever the network feels like it.
In other words, that's what the money is for.

Doubt Iowa escapes here
-
as most of us here will agree......... money has been ruining college football for decades

Oh yeah, totally agree.
But my point is, it's nothing new. Which is why the recent outcry about kickoff times surprises me.
And my other point is, if the universities don't want the TV money, they can exit the conferences and turn down the money.
And my other point is, if the coaches don't like the terms being dictated by the network media broadcast partners that pay for all the bills, then they are always welcome to leave their $5M/year bigtime jobs, and go and find themselves a nice $80,000/year D3 or high school gig.

coaches just really don't want someone limiting their recruiting efforts

Big Ten teams in the Central Time Zone have been complaining about 11 AM kicks ever since games stopped automatically starting at 1:30 PM.
-
yup, 1:30 was MUCH better
especially for fans that have a 2 or more hour drive to the stadium
-

Yeah, sure. And I don't like that my employer doesn't give me 4 months of paid vacation every year.
My option is to quit and find something I like better.
Or to suck it up and STFU and do my job.
So... hey coach... STFU and do your job.

Like I said, I prefer afternoon kickoffs too. And back in the 70s and 80s, when there was only 1 or 2 football games on TV per week, your school could start the game whenever it wanted.
But that all went out the window when TV started calling the shots.
Over the years I've seen a lot of B1G fans on this message board crow about all the money the conference brings in. But the thing is, this is the price you have to pay for those fat network paychecks. You can't have it both ways, that's not how any of this works.
Again-- that's what the money is for.

I think it all comes down to a CTZ inferiority complex to the ETZ.
-
I don't think so
11am or noon, don't matter. Too early for big games
Huskers vs Boilers - sure
Buckeyes vs Ducks - no

PTZ gets no say, nobody out there even watches football.

I'm in that boat too and back when I used to go to all the games that is a LONG day. You have to leave by around 8 even if you aren't doing any tailgating just to get there, get through traffic, get parked, and get to the Stadium. Then after the game even if you leave town right away you generally aren't out of traffic and rolling at freeway speed until 5.

During the game at Minnesota, Haskel Garrett had a scoop ‘n score, and the announcer referred to him as “Haskel the rascal”. Is this a thing, or a nickname? Geez I hope not! I had never heard that before, had you? What a horrible thing to be called, I hope it’s not true.
-
I've been called a rascal many times
no offense taken

Is that because you like to roll around on one while you are shopping at Walmart? :d030:
-
don't go inside Walmarts
if I'm with someone that needs to go to Walmart, I wait in the parking lot and pick them up at the door

I enjoy watching option offense, but rooting for the jayhawks

Oh geez. Coastal Carolina had a pick, and everyone celebrated. Then the reversed the pick on replay, and penalized them 15 yards for celebrating too much.
-
Points of Emphasis:
For the 2021 season, It will be a point of emphasis for officials to penalize any taunting action directed toward an opponent. Committee members think these actions reflect poorly on the game and can lead to unnecessary confrontations.
Coaches should not enter the field of play or leave the team area to debate officiating decisions. Those who do so will have committed an automatic unsportsmanlike conduct foul.

No SOC thread yet? My sleep schedule is all messed up due to a non-covid flu I've had. I went to bed at 9pm last night and this is the latest I could sleep. I've been sleeping almost 12 hours lately, so I think I might almost be over this thing.
Anyhow 6 hours until the noon kicks, so may do a little work this morning and then mow the lawn since I'm finally feeling well enough to do that.

Heh didn't want to get out of bed.

Friday I got a letter from the IRS claiming I owe nearly $11 K. So I was up at 5 AM worrying about my response (I don't owe it, they double counted some income).
That sort of thing is annoying.

Sounds like someone had a good year.
(I'm gonna owe a good bit next year, something I'm not super looking forward to, but also am preped for)

I still get stock options, or have them to sell in effect, and the company uses E Trade, an outfit I loathe. E Trade apparently send a W2 on the same transaction my company sent me and the IRS a W2.

Ha, just so happens that I received a letter just a few hours ago from NJ Department of Labor and Workforce Development. "An examination of the books and records of AMAZON.COM INC disclosed payments were made to you for services performed as a subcontractor..."
What are the chances that Jeff Bezos and Amazon received any kind of similar letter? I'm saying zero percent chance. Too big to fail.
But I 'm a bit worried...
