> [@notfrommensa](#): > > To show what kind of “footprint” the Big XII has compared to the SEC, I live in Missouri. The Oklahoma St vs Missouri is being played right now, and it is nowhere to be found on my Satellite (Dish). ESPNU is kind enough to show me the Jacksonville State vs Kentucky game though. And Fox Sports is showing me the Kansas vs Kansas St game. Doesn’t Dish Network carry FX? That’s what OSU-Mizzou was on today. Miami actually played a good game today! Woo! I never would have predicted Miami and GT to combine for just 466 yards of offense. I would have thought both teams would go for 400 each. UVA and Duke are the next 2 games, so Miami can hopefully get things rolling on both sides of the ball for 4 quarters as a good prep for the trip to Tallahassee. ---

FX? Well I didn’t look there! didn’t know they had football. Missed it completely. And about your team beating my Yellowjackets. I don’t want to talk about and I wish you would stop talking about it. ---

Sorry. I’ll be sure not to specifically mention the special teams play. Nor Sean Spence. Nor Paul Johnson’s need to find a qb that can throw a ball. 😃 For what it’s worth, [this site](http://mattsarzsports.com/football2011.aspx) is great for tracking which channel is showing every cfb game. ---

Wow. MSU wins by an inch. ETA: No one caught it, but on the previous play, the clock kept running for two or three seconds after the incompletion. They should have had six or seven seconds, not 4. Musberger just said MSU had no penalties in the game. Go Green. ---

I have been out tonight. Did ABC move the TTU/OU game to ESPN2? Why is the game barely into the third qtr if it started at 7 pm local time. almost 4 hours later. ---

I had nothing invested in it, but damn am I glad I recorded ans watched the Wisconsin Michigan St. game. Great game. Good review on the final play. I’m a first year high school official, and I thought it was a TD on first viewing, but that’s what video review is for, after all. (It was kinda funny how the head ref started running upon his announcement of TD.) ---

I thought games concluding with a ‘walk-off’ TD (in regulation) had to have a extra point kick. (maybe that is the NFL). Wisconsin was ~7 pt favorite, so that part of the equation was irrelevant. I guess the countdown has begun in Tuscaloosa for the de-facto National championship game . My guess it is about 322 hours from now. 7:10 PM Tuscaloosa time. ---

My guess it is about 322 hours from now. 7:10 PM Tuscaloosa time. Fortunes and families may be lost by that time plus maybe 3 1/2 hours. I can’t imagine the SECCG being more thrilling and maybe not even the BCSCG. But there’s always the Iron Bowl! ---

Well, holy crap, Tech pulled it out. From the looks of it, even OU is admitting that they were just plain outplayed, no excuses. The Norman win streak has ended. Wreck 'em Tech! ---

Does anybody know of a site with analysis of all-time Coach-vs.-Coach W-L and/or Winning Percentages, as opposed to team-vs.-team data of that sort? Might be fun to see such numbers. ---

> [@notfrommensa](#): > > I have been out tonight. > > Did ABC move the TTU/OU game to ESPN2? Why is the game barely into the third qtr if it started at 7 pm local time. almost 4 hours later. Huge lightning storms. Barely got the peewee playoff games I worked today in before they hit. Also, HA-HA. OSU won, with starters missing time for injuries on offense. This defense may give up yards galore, but they get stops as the field gets shorter and they do an excellent job of forcing turnovers. I am no longer panicking when the D needs to take over the game like I would have done two years ago. Now our kick coverage units aren’t quite as reassuring… ---

since the World Series got postponed tonight I am watching the UConn @ Pitt game. It looks more empty seats than occupied seats. A lot more. There is virtually no crowd noise. ---

Checking the box score from last night. It says 40,219 attended the UConn at Pitt game. If that is true, then Heinz field must have a 1 **57** ,000 capacity. ---

According to Wiki, the capacity of Heinz Field is a modest 65,000-ish.
