Saturday Open Thread

Justin demanded this thread! He wants to comment on the division II football championship. There's also college basketball games. Parts of the country will get either South Carolina at Ohio State or Stanford at Butler while the entire country will get Texas at North Carolina on CBS. ESPN will also have a full slate of games. There of course is NBA and NHL action, so whatever game your watching, enjoy. Leave comments and don't be a troll.

  5. I forgot that there are bowl games on today.

  6. Well that was one of the worst punts I have ever seen.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Oof. 11 yard punt gives Minn-Duluth excellent field position.

  8. @ Keith: There is snow forecast in Boise today for the Humanitarian Bowl.

  9. Double oof. Duluth just pulled a Deadskins on that FG attempt. Waste of good field position there.

    ReplyDelete
  10. @Justin: That doesn't surprise me. It's cold, wet, and raining on the entire West Coast.

  14. @ Kris: I have no idea. There is a stark drop off in kickers at the Division II level, as you may have noticed, so that may play a part, but that was a chip shot FG to make it a 7-point game.

    Geez, how many muffs are there going to be this game?

  15. Does Minnesota-Duluth have a Christmas tree on their helmet?

  16. illegal forward pass is going to wipe out the long TD pass

    ReplyDelete
  17. Just because Temple was snubbed of a bowl game, I am rooting for the MAC to win all their bowl games. I am aware none of them have stiff competition, still, it will be nice for the MAC to kind of make a combined statement by winning out after an 8-4 team that beat a BCS team by two touchdowns got snubbed

  18. "That one a legit pass and catch." - Rob Stone

    You're so cool, Stoner.

  19. @Justin 4th & 1 at the 26, and I would understand going for it, but even a D-2 kicker should be able to make a 24 yard FG

    ReplyDelete
  20. That was a risky call on 4th down, but Duluth converts. End of 3 now, still 14-10 Delta State.

    ReplyDelete
  21. This championship game with Delta State is much closer than the one in 2000 when they beat my beloved Bloomsburg.

    /Don't research the score.
    //Please.

    ReplyDelete
  22. @Justin at least Bloomsburg scored 34 that afternoon

    ReplyDelete
  23. i'm surprised how well USC is playing against Kansas

    ReplyDelete
  24. Delta State says they have the ball!

    And they do have it! Wow!

  26. my heart dies a little every time Josh Selby makes a big shot...

    ReplyDelete
  27. Is Delta State crazy?!?!?!?

    False start! Now you have to kick it.

    ReplyDelete
  28. USC up 2, but Kansas has the ball with 38.7 left.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Delta State going for it on 4th and goal... STUFFED AND A FALSE START! Now they have to kick it to tie.

    And now a blocked kick and a delay of game. Oof.

    ReplyDelete
  30. OH! Duluth nearly ran the ensuing kickoff back for 6! That might've given them the national title!

    And, a challenge.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Fontan stepped out of bounds for a huge turnover

    ReplyDelete
  32. And, the return man is ruled down at the 11, negating the big run-back. Huge call there.

    ReplyDelete
  33. And, the New Mexico Bowl is underway!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Bob Wischusen: "Does it get any better than college football in bowl season?"

    /urge to kill rising

    ReplyDelete
  35. Duluth opts to kick on 4th and inches.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Terrible throw by Davis may have just buried his team.

    ReplyDelete
  37. that was a perfectly timed screen pass

    ReplyDelete
  38. Here we go. 32 yard FG to give Duluth the D-II title.

    ReplyDelete
