Friday, September 18, 2015 – Your Saturday College Game of the Week Football Schedule

Friday, September 18, 2015 – Your Saturday College Game of the Week Football Schedule-

For the third week of college football, here are the games I will be watching. In my ever attempt to enlighten and inform you, here is a schedule and posted on the ESPN App.

Baylor - BU UT 2013 - Scoreboard Champs (800x600)

Baylor has an open week. The photo is the last lit score board in Floyd Casey Stadium in Waco.

Texas A&M vs Nevada @ 11:00 AM on SECN @ Kyle Field. College Station. Who plays football at 11:00 in the morning? I hate the 11:00 AM games because it is difficult to stay awake for the afternoon games. Reminder: Pick up more vodka and bloody Mary mix.

Auburn vs LSU- @ 2:30 on CBS @ Tiger Stadium. Baton Rouge. Tiger, Tiger burning bright; Please give Muschamp’s defense a fight.

Northwestern State v Mississippi State – @ 3:00 on SECN @ Davis Wade Stadium. Starkville, Mississippi. Be sure to watch for my relative on the Northwestern sidelines. My cousin is the defensive coach. He will be the really good looking one. You know it comes with the family. Let’s go Demons!

Texas Tech v Arkansas @ 6:00 on ESPN2 @ Razorback Stadium. Fayetteville, Arkansas. What goes well with tortillas? Pork.

Oklahoma State v UTSA @ 2:30 on FOX1 @ Boone Pickens Stadium. Stillwater. Go Pokes!

TCU v SMU – @ 7:00 on FSN @ Amon G. Carter Stadium, Fort Worth. Really? Who does your scheduling, TCU? The Pillsbury Dough Boy? How much does strength of schedule count?

Cal v Texas – @ 6:30 on Fox @ DKR Memorial Stadium, Austin, Texas. THE University wanted to play in the Pac 12. Now is your chance to show them what you got.

Ole Miss vs Alabama @ 8:15 on ESPN @ Bryant-Denny Stadium Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Hotty Toddy and Roll Tide.

And now what could happen after last week’s ESPN programming fiasco. Here is  the possible ESPN schedule.

If you are watching the Aggie/Nevada game @ 11:00 on the SECN, you will be switched at half time to ESPN3. This allows those of us who do not want to watch and pay for it on our computers to watch the game as it buffers along.

The Auburn /LSU game will be transferred to another ESPN station as soon as ESPN buys out CBS giving it a monopoly on college football. This deal will occur during a critical series with minutes left to play in the game.

At 4:46 the Northwestern/Mississippi State will move to ESPNU ensuring only those who chose to pay for more sports on their cable are able to see the game.

At 3:26 the Oklahoma State/UTSA game will be moved to an ESPN sister station, yet to be available to viewers.

At 4:52 the Northwestern/Mississippi State game will move to ESPN2. This game will run long and the Texas Tech/Arkansas match up will be moved to SECA. I am not sure if cable TV has made it Lubbock or the state of Arkansas.

At 7:15 the Cal/Texas game will move to The Longhorn Network, which probably nobody in California receives.

At 8: 07 the TCU/SMU game will be taken off the air and replaced with the Monmouth vs Wagner game from the Big South Conference.

At half-time with the scored tied between Ole Miss v Alabama, ESPN and the decision-makers there will replace what could be the game that says much about what will happen in the SEC with the Sacramento State vs Weber State game or the Northern Iowa vs Cal Poly game. These are schools that no one cares about unless your child goes there.

I hope your team wins. I hope ESPN does not jerk us around like last weekend and BTHO Nevada!

Wednesday, September 16, 2015 – Don’t Mess With Texas Football

Wednesday, September 16, 2015 – Don’t Mess With Texas Football

Two comments, a question and prediction.

The Eyes of Texas are no longer upon the AD, Steve Patterson.

It appears “till Gabriel blows his horn” is 22 months.

Are you (as in Texas) going to light The Tower?

You (as in Texas) will never get Nick Sabin.

FRIDAY, September 11, 2015 – IT’S A NEW DAY IN AGGIELAND and WTHIBS? (Where the Hell is Ball State?)

FRIDAY, September 11, 2015 – IT’S A NEW DAY IN AGGIELAND and WTHIBS? (Where the Hell is Ball State?)

The official opening ceremonies for the redevelopment of Kyle Field showing its new look begin today at 3:00 PM.

But the new look to Here’s What I’m Thinking begins NOW. Let’s open with a prayer – Please, Lord, let there be a redevelopment of The Fighting Texas Aggie Football Team and not just Kyle Field. Amen.

The new header is The War Hymn Monument. Here is the plaque below.

Tomorrow the Fighting Texas Aggies play The Cardinals of Ball State University. Where the hell is Ball State? Muncie, Indiana. Where the hell is Muncie, Indiana?

It will be the first match-up between the two schools. I see that BSU boasts of 16,000 students and the capacity of the football venue is 22, 500.

Anybody else doing the John Wax math here? That is only 38,500 people if the stadium filled to capacity and the student body watched from outside on big screen TVs. I believe that is the seating capacity of Section 507 on the Upper Deck in Kyle Field.

This is directly from the Ball State webpage and this is all there is about Kyle Field.

“The Ball State-Texas A&M matchup will highlight the grand opening of the $485 million redevelopment of the venerable Kyle Field that originally opened in 1905. The original concrete seating on the east and west sides was added in 1927 and the horseshoe was completed in 1929.”

It sounds as though there have been no improvements to Kyle Field since 1929. I wonder if they will be surprised. What does venerable mean?

Whoever was in charge of scheduling this game should be fired.

If you have to ask what this is and why there are coins, you will never understand.

BTHO Ball State!
