Wow. And LOLOLOL.

It is supposed to read "wraps", as in he was getting chicken/lettuce wraps with the cool kids for lunch.

Was anyone that's not a TV executive clamoring for a 2 minute warning in college football?

 

[CyGuy5]

The 2 minute warning in addition to keeping the clock running after a first down are stupid. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

The 2 minute warning is just yet another way to get a long commercial break in. Keeping the clock running is yet another way to shorten the game... but not the start/end times because of the constant increase in commercial breaks.

Michigan got all their rings today. Believe they are National Title, College Football Playoff, Rose Bowl, & Big 10 Title.

Just a Spring Game but Arch Manning had a big day for Texas today: 19/25 355 yards 3TDs

So dumb. Lets have fewer plays and more commercials. That surely better for the game and will make it more popular.

Iowa has single handedly brought down the scoring average and prompted people to ask to watch commercials instead of their offense.

Maybe Texas's defense sucks.

Network upfronts this week, so some of the "big" early-season matchups should have times/networks put in place.

 

[1UNI2ISU]

Texas at Michigan is a mortal lock for Big Noon on FOX Week 2.

Guessing Iowa State at Iowa is the CBS 2:30 game.

[HouClone]

Not watching any of these. I'll add not watching any SEC or Big 10 game, except maybe if it impacts a Big 12 seeding at the end of the year.

 

[NWICY]

Fresno State is a big name team now? Huh.

Big 12 games included in that release:

Thursday 8/29 - NDSU at Colorado (ESPN, 7pm CT)
Friday 8/30 - TCU at Stanford (ESPN, 9:30pm CT)

Also, mark your calendar:

The first three weeks of ESPN’s 2024 college football schedule and all special date games will be revealed on Thursday, May 30. ESPN’s Bowl Season schedule will be unveiled on Thursday, June 6.

Buried in the FOX upfront is that they will now be using Friday nights for CFB and CBB.


Also, for the first time in five years, there is no WWE SmackDown on Fridays as the network is replacing the departing wrestling franchise with sports coverage of college football and basketball as well as UFL.
