My question I take it has no answer. Watching the officials in these games makes me wonder who the refs will be for the CG? I didn't think my first post was that bad as to be skunked :wink: I have been lurking for years but not usually one to post.

GO Bucks! :oh:

I think I read somewhere on here that it will be a crew from the Big 12 working the Championship game.

It beats the hell out of ABC/ESPN with Mussberger and Herbstreit. I really like Charles Davis and Thom Brennaman. They actually appear to have some integrity.

Couldn't agree more.

Well, Brennaman has been talking the Bucks up just a bit, but that's definitely not a surprise knowing his background. I'm ignoring the rest of the Media hype for this one until Tuesday, because it just angers up the blood....

I'm not familiar with Davis nor Brennaman. What is his background?

Personally I felt like Fox got worse in their coverage off college football this year, not better. There were a few keys penalties that never even were spoken of, or even shown. Brennaman just talked over the penatly being announced. Or early in the game where there was an officials review of a catch. They didn't talk about it or replay it, they just went straight to commercial. The review didn't take long, they went to a commercial to quick. Hell. They went to a commercial too quick on every stoppage of play. It really breaks up the flow of the game. I understand having a few more commercials since it's a BCS game, but I assume they will have even more during the Championship game, so does that mean then game won't get over until 2am? Unless we have overtime, then maybe 3am? That was by far the longest college football game I've ever watched, and the constant break in action made it even more boring.


On another note, I know it really doesn't matter as far as how the Championship game will go, but it's nice to see the Big 10 hold it's own against the SEC so far. Wisconsin vs. Tennessee was a really good game, one that could have gone either way. Same said for Florida vs. Michigan. We played a lot better against Michigan and Wisconsin than LSU did against Tennessee and Florida. But, like I said, that really doesn't matter. Transitive properties are all fun in college football. Here's a couple of fun ones for you. Has anybody ever been to Cedar Rapids, Iowa?

Coe College beat
Buena Vista who beat
Bethel MN who beat
UW-Eau Claire who beat
SW Minnesota St who beat
Concordia-St Paul who beat
Augustana SD who beat
Western Washington who beat
UC-Davis who beat
Portland St who beat
Eastern Washington who beat
McNeese St who beat
Louisiana-Lafayette who beat
North Texas who beat
Louisiana-Monroe who beat
Alabama who beat
Arkansas who beat
LSU

Coe college beat
Buena Vista who beat
Bethel MN who beat
UW-Eau Claire who beat
SW Minnesota St who beat
Concordia-St Paul who beat
Augustana SD who beat
Western Washington who beat
UC-Davis who beat
Northeastern who beat
New Hampshire who beat
Delaware who beat
Northern Iowa who beat
Iowa St who beat
Iowa who beat
Illinois who beat
Ohio State

Therefore the Coe Kohawks should be FBS National Champions

As I said earlier, that is my main gripe as well, the longevity and time of the game.

To be fair however, yesterday's game took even longer because Hawaii threw 57 passes...that adds a lot of stopped clock to the game.

Still, Monday will definitely be a late night.

The frequency of advertisement in BCS bowl games is probably higher, and the half-time is probably longer, as well. However, I felt like I was watching Monday Night Football. Coming from commercials after a TD, they went back to commercial break after the kick-off. That never happens in college ball.

If you think it is bad to watch, how about the players trying to get into a rythm?

Could someone start a new thread re: the success of agressive offensive and defensive playcalling by SCUM against FLA, and whether Tress will employ a similar approach to monday's game? For whatever reason, I can't seem to figure out how to start a new thread, is it a contributor only function?
