Maybe someone in the truck took the Buckeyes minus the points. Fox only corrected the error after the commercial. Gus Johnson, paying attention to his screen, reported it as such. When Ohio State took a 37-24 lead on Minnesota in the fourth quarter Thursday night, Fox flashed it as 40-24 (then 41-24 after the PAT). Calvin Johnson (Georgia Tech), Lamar Jackson (Louisville), Lawrence Taylor (North Carolina) and Randy White (Maryland) might have to say about that. Munson said that Tiger quarterback DJ Uiagalelei may eclipse Trevor Lawrence in terms of college career accomplishments (remains to be seen) and former Clemson tailback Travis Etienne may be the best player in ACC history. Don Munson, Clemson homer, and the proclamations he madeĪppearing on ESPNU Radio’s “Full Ride” program last Wednesday morning, Clemson public address announcer Don Munson made two bold proclamations. ![]() But SVP should’ve pushed back on that one. Is such a team failing to make the playoff? We don’t think so. Had Georgia lost to Clemson but to no one else all season, they’d have been the unbeaten SEC champions. Van Pelt believed that the marquee matchup between Clemson-Georgia had major Playoff implications while his sidekick, Stanford Steve, felt that whomever lost would remain in the conversation.ĭavis sided with SVP, arguing that if it came down to choosing between the Tigers and Dawgs as “one-loss teams,” the head-to-head winner would emerge. SVP asked the College GameDay host to settle an argument. SVP lets Rece Davis settle an argument, perhaps lamelyĮSPN’s Rece Davis appeared on SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt Friday night. Money, as they demonstrate time and again, they have to burn. Kick ass in a depleted Power 5 conference and back into the Four-team playoff with a 13-0 record.īecause that’s what the 12th Man really wants: glory, not money. There’s no market for Jimbo Fisher at $7.5 million per year outside of College Station … and there’s certainly no market for him at $9 million.Ī smarter, more economical move Texas A&M might’ve made: As soon as Oklahoma and Texas announced they were leaving Jennifer for Angelina, the Aggies should have announced they were reuniting with the Big 12. Second, and more importantly, he was not going anywhere. First, as we all know, A&M has yet to advance to the Playoff in Fisher’s three years. Here’s why this is stupid, no matter what “Texas Monthly” says. Last month they extended Fisher through 2031 and bumped him up from $7 million per year to $9 million per year. The Aggies originally hired Jimbo Fisher in December of 2017 for 10 years at $75 million. “All Texas A&M has proven is that they know how to spend money” - Rick Neuheisel, ESPNU Radio’s “Full Ride” Both will improve with reps - but Urban Meyer is an incredibly tough act to follow. By the way, Bob Stoops looked shakier on his opening series Saturday morning than Ohio State’s CJ Stroud did two nights earlier. ![]() Big Noon Kickoff realized it could either keep running the wishbone or get with the times and install the spread-option. ![]() GameDay established the winning formula long ago. Whither the Avocado Room (Fox Sports’ green room for talent to watch the games) - is it being rented out for birthday parties?Ĭan’t blame ‘em. Over the next three Saturdays they’ll venture to Columbus (Oregon-Ohio State), Norman (Nebraska-Oklahoma) and Chicago (Notre Dame-Wisconsin). Rob Stone and the heroes of the 2005 USC-Notre Dame game opened the season with an upper Midwest double-dip in Minneapolis and Madison. ![]() Big Noon Kickoff opening is now a near shot-for-shot remake of GameDay’s, with the band X Ambassadors performing “Boom” in front of a live audience (it was taped in Los Angeles).Īlso, the previously Century City-bound Fox crew is coming to your ci-tay this September. If you are ESPN’s College GameDay and wondering whether Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff is going “Single White Female” on you, you’re not alone. JUMP AROUND IS BACK AND IT HAS NEVER HIT HARDER | /waT3hmaOqO “It’s been 651 days,” Fox’s Gus Johnson intoned, and we were off.
