Week 8 on TV
As always, big thanks to Awful Announcing for this week’s announcer schedule for college football.
Highlights:
Thursday night: South Florida at Rutgers (ESPN: Fowler/Flutie/James). South Florida’s last test on the road.
Saturday (Noon Eastern): Nothing worth watching.
Saturday (3:30pm Eastern): Florida at Kentucky (CBS: Lundquist/Danielson, Gameday in Lexington) and SC at ND—2 years ago a clash of Top 10 [...]
Week 7 TV/Announcer Listings
Again we thank Awful Announcing and their associates for the Week 7 TV/Announcer Listings.
Highlights (i.e., how to schedule your TV time):
I honestly cannot recommend anything because Fox Sports does such an awful job with college football. I would watch Missouri at OU if it was being called by Ron Franklin on ESPN, but it’s not. [...]

Once again Awful Announcing takes the time while battling the WWL to give us the announcer listings for week 6.
Highlights:
College football on ESPN or ESPN2 every night this week as they try and counter-program the MLB playoffs that they no longer carry. The best game of the weeknight slate is Thursday’s #8 Kentucky at #11 [...]

Okay, here we go. As soon as you think that you might want to not watch much college football this weekend 7 of the Top 15 lose.
#1 USC left all of their crisp play in LA and squeaked by U-Dub by 3. SC looked terrible and I would not be surprised if LSU is [...]

Apparently some writers don’t take ther AP Poll ballot as seriously as fans would like them to. (Thanks to TheBigLead for the heads up.)
First, Parrish Alford, of the NE Mississippi Daily Journal, still thinks Louisville is #13 while Kentucky is #24. (And here I could’ve sworn that I saw Kentucky score at will against the [...]

Roundup: ROTFLMAO edition
No more messin’ around. It’s roundup time.
The LA Times recaps a contentious practice yesterday in Troy, as Stafon Johnson raised Pete Carroll’s hackles following an impressive run. After Johnson and safety Will Harris got into it, Johnson threw the ball at Harris. Then this happened:
Coach Pete Carroll immediately got into the running back’s face, then [...]
SEC coach agrees with Les Miles
From the Times-Picayune:
LSU Coach Les Miles isn’t the only member of the SEC coaching fraternity who believes the conference is better than the Pac-10 in football.
Kentucky Coach Rich Brooks said the same thing Wednesday. And he’s a Pac-10 alumnus.
Brooks became the first coach to lead the Oregon Ducks to four bowl games, including the 1995 [...]
