I hadn't visited these threads in awhile. It is good to see that Bambi still, in no way, cares about Mizzou. I mean, he's only posted 50,000 times about them.

I still have a long way to get there

So the College Football Playoff went ahead and scheduled their playoff games for New Years Eve (a Thursday) at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Interesting

Football runs show. They are going to do as they please and people will watch.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

It's on ESPN 3 right?

I assume the SEC will dominate the MLB draft tonight.

Well, professional football runs show...not college. College basketball earns more ad revenue but facts aside it sure is an intriguing move. I understand that CFB wants to keep the setup of it's playoff format intact but what many are failing to realize is that in it's first year the CFB Playoff was given the perfect setup as far as viewing times are concerned.

I can't recall a significant sports event that has taken place before on December 31st (maybe NFL playoff games?). It's perhaps the toughest TV night all year. Most people devoted to college football will for sure tune in but there's the real possibility of a disaster when it comes to the ratings.

I can't imagine the advertisers are too happy about this decision. I suppose the interest will be proven in what kind of rate they can get for a 30 second spot.

Being that a vast majority of people in this country will be at work at 1pm PST you better hope it's on ESPN3.

Your posts just get worse and worse by the day. Might want to rethink that one.

Women's college basketball has gone to four 10-minute quarters. Also no more 1 and 1's, they are going to 2 shots after 5 fouls in the quarter.

Have to think this is a test to see if it will work for the men's game. They also moved the shot clock to 30 secs in the Men's game.

Also reduced the time outs from 5 to 4 per game. Number of time outs that can be reserved for the 2nd half limited to 3.

Good change in my opinion.

Horrible responses as I thought

You better ask for time off from your job at KFC now so you're home in time for the games on Thursday.

Even worse. Goodnight lights.

I'm sure they can find someone else to run the fryer that day.

Being that MU has the easiest schedule in Power 5 this year it's time to bust in.
