Is Charissa Thompson still sideline reporting for the games? God I sure hope so, she's my favorite just above Erin Andrews.

She hosts "Big Ten's Best" as well as sidelines. And I agree with the EA comparison (she's also 3-4 years younger).

Gerry Dinardo just ate an orange w/o peeling it on "Big Ten Football and Beyond". If he does that w/ a pineapple, then I'm impressed.

Did he put Rotel or Velvetta on it?

If not he should get punished for not using his sponsors correctly.

He totally did take a bite out of a pineapple! LOL Some viewer submitted a question like "Taking a bite out of an unpeeled orange is impressive but can you do the same with a coconut or a pineapple?" And he took a bite out of it. I was like what the hell.

I would've love to see the coconut, because I don't see how that is possible with the hard shell. The pineapple is another feat. Both would seem to hurt your mouth.

All I know is Chris Martin does not OSU at all...the guy doesn't realize its that noticeable or he doesn't care.

I think that Mark May is worse, but believe he's playing his part (as he was somewhat the OSU defender when Trev Alberts was there).

BTN has a huge problem. Do they ever go against the conference in any ruling? Today they debated the Kurt Coleman hit and suspension and everyone on the set was in lock-step with the conference in Coleman getting a suspension? Thats fine if they truly believe that, but I find it hard to believe that all of them have the same opinion. They seem to have the same problem that the NFL Network did in its first few years and still to this day. Never being able to question anything the league does.

The reason it seems eerie to me is that everyone on all the ESPN shows... especially on the U... said they felt the suspension was excessive and that it wasn't pick up sticks it was football.

You expect the announcers to openly criticize the network ownership, who is indeed the Big Ten (BTN is majority-owned by the Big Ten Conference, with Fox Cable Networks holding a minority interest)? I would think they enjoy getting a paycheck...

Pretty sad state of affairs when you feel you have to agree with everything your boss says just to stay employeed. That's less like employment and more like endentured servitude.
