GREAT SUCCESS!!

I said people were idiots for wanting to directly compete with ND-UM. I stand by that.

Even then, UM-ND won't kickoff until 7:45 est. Only competing with half of their game(which also happens to be the first, less important half).

What competition? MSU-Oregon will be two Top Ten and maybe even Top 5 teams battling while ND-UM will be a Top 20 team vs a fringe Top 25 team.

Better game =/= Bigger draw. Spartans-Ducks should by all accounts be a better game, but I doubt it'll be a bigger draw.

I stick by claim that MSU-Oregon would've drawn a better ratting had it not in any way competed with ND-UM. However, it's not an accident that FOX doesn't want our game competing with the second half/ending of ND-UM.

It will be a much bigger draw. scum has zero September Heismann candidates this year to help fuel their paper tiger status.

CrazySparty wrote:I would bet money on MSU-Oregon getting the 3:30 est. kickoff time on ESPN/ABC(Based on regional coverage)...

Also keep in mind that if ESPN/ABC doesn't "claim" MSU-Oregon, then FS1 gets it as they have second pick...

No, I'm thinking 12:30-1:00 Oregon time. The only way it's a 7:00-8:00 pm est. game is if FS1 televises it. The only way FS1 televises it is if ESPN decides they don't want to televise it. How likely do you think that last scenario is?...

Bingo EDIT: It's also very telling that when I provide facts, the people(Or person with multiple schticks) downvoting has yet to reveal themselves and say why I'm wrong...

I've listed several reasons as to why it won't be a night game(By east coast standards)
Other games
TV rights
Maximizing ratings
Common sense

Oh Jesus...

I am right. Mostly, anyways.

**** yeah, MSU/Oregon. What a great, great match-up!

And love it from a nat perspective, as MSU is falling in polls now, as sportswriters have had time to forget about actual on-the-field results and have done tours of "traditional powers" this spring during camps, which has let them graciously fall back into promoting the bullshit hype again.

Mental - Where is MSU falling in the polls? What has knocked us down, before they are out? I'm just curious. Also kind of weird to say that MSU is falling in polls that don't exist yet.

Nothing wrong with a little enthusiasm. Yeah he goes a little over the top at times, but I will take that over someone like Dan Dakich who is constantly criticizing everyone.

Gus during the B10 Championship was great.

WCS wrote:My favorite Gus Johnson game of all time was when he did the Detroit vs St. Louis professional football game. That game was full of hijinx. It looked like St. Louis was going to win the game. St. Louis was up 27-20 with 7 seconds left to go in the game. Detroit has the ball St. Louis' 40 yard line and it's 4th and 7. Basically, this was the game...All receivers are running fly routes and the qb recognized that Hines had a seam at the right slot. He hits Hines at the 30 and what happened next was incredible!! All of a suddenly, the sprinkler pops up and hits a linebacker and then another sprinkler pops up to take out a defensive back...both had good position to make the tackles. Then, the last defender that had a chance to tackle him was tripped up by a sprinkler head that popped up, almost as if it was on demand.

Game went into overtime!! Gus Johnson was just off the charts awesome in that game.

Detroit was going for the win with a field goal on 2nd and goal, but the sprinklers popped up again and took out the holder. The ball was loose and kicked around, and Detroit ended up recovering in the endzone for a touchdown.

One of the best games ever!!
