I dont blame the network whatsoever! Its ridiculous that we can't finish a game in under 4 hours! I'm honestly at the point where I think I would be in favor of the NCAA outlawing the uptempo offense if it meant eliminating all these fake injuries. Its gotten beyond ridiculous!

The fake injuries are ridiculous. Everyone could see the fake injury on Syracuse, as 2 players tried to fake it at once then the one guy caught himself since he saw the other player fall down. Guess the refs are blind afterall. Give them the penalty!

They cant. Its only a penalty if a player goes down after the ball is spotted. Syracuse players were going down before the ref could spot the ball.

Most posters on here are too young to remember "The Heidi Game". Nov '68 NBC broke away from Jets at Oakland with a few mins left to show a Heidi movie. Raiders came back with 2 TD's to win it in a short time. The whole country was watching the AFL football game, and they went ballistic to NBC. Wiki it if you want. ABC did the same thing to us. They give a rats behind about us, just to bama! Glad they got whipped! Loved the bird guy!

Believe it or not, it's about $$$$. The bama/Fsu game demanded more per commercial than did Ut/Cuse. Advertisers bought the 3:00 time slot Bama/fsu ads, and would have demanded something if they didn't get what they bought. Besides, the Ut/cuse game wasn't really in doubt. It sucked, but the networks can do whatever they need to keep their ads on schedule. Lots of difference between the 12:00 game and the 3pm game, and the 7:00 prime time game. Just trying to explain the motivation. I used to work in the Business.

I just wish ABC would filter out at least some of the crowd noise. Have to turn up the TV to almost full volume just to hear the commentators. Of course it only takes a couple of minutes to realize they’re pulling for the other team though.

Easy now. One game at a time. Tennessee's pass D couldn't stop a team with 1/3rd the talent of bama yesterday. Gus Malzon had a helluva game plan for Bama..

True. And their QB is going to get better. Tennessee will slow them down enough and Alabama offensive line did not protect him well. Tennessee’s offense is going to be their problem.

The funniest part was that the guy who stayed down was subtly pointing to his chest before he dropped, as if to say "me?".

They moved our game to ESPNEWS and they do this all the time. If our game was close, they would keep it on ABC. It wasn’t…thankfully…so it slid to a sister network.

Our game was not a blowout at that time. If they hold us to a fg its still a 2 possession game with 3 minutes to go.
