Huge difference in blocking in the first and second half.

It's a combination of blocking + vision/decisiveness/burst. James doesn't seem to have top-end speed but he gets through the hole quickly enough, he spots it, and he goes. Huggins in his tenure has been the sort of back that makes blocking look worse than it is. He reminds me of the NFL version of Shonn Greene.

CBS Sports Network just advertised a country music collection CD.

I didn't know music collection CDs still existed.

It's still run by the same people (CBS) who think winning the 55+ year old demographic is a good strategy, of course CD collections will be advertised.

James was getting stuffed as well until the second half, Jamison was the only recent RU running back who could create something out of nothing. Muller is just beasting right now.

 

[peteykirch]

These refs are on the take

 

[peteykirch]

Nova has no accuracy

 

[LegoDad]

Touchdown! Fresno State!

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Not trying to be.

I get what you were saying, that Fox is ruthless and successful when it sets out to conquer a segment of the TV landscape. Unfortunately, that also includes the creation of the cancer that is Fox "News," which has been tailored to appeal to and reinforce the fears and paranoia of the fringe right by spouting endless streams of sanctimonious bullshit.

The problem with this flight of fancy is, of course, that there's no way they'd be pulling down the largest ratings in 24-hr. news if they were doing what your creative narrative suggests. If they were appealing to the fringes, they'd be pulling down identical numbers as MSNBC, not the huge numbers they do now. The right-wing bugaboo hiding under your bed isn't nearly as big as you imagine it is.

Regardless, my point remains that the Fox TV folks are dead smart and know how to create wins in the marketplace. It's undeniable, man.

In other sports news...hey, I'M A SOCCER FAN...but if you want to see for yourself a prime example of why soccer is seen by sooooooo many Americans as a "pussy" sport, or whatever, check out the last page or so of the US Soccer thread. There's a massive controversy over who is leading the cheers and songs in the stands.

Read that last sentence again.

The hardcore soccer community are fucking arguing about which grown-ass men are acting as CHEERLEADERS, man. SMH.

...

At least this Fresno St. game is good.

 

[peteykirch]

Carr went make it in the NFL no passes downfield father than 12 yards

 

[Guileless]

I don't know what doing cocaine is like, but I bet its more or less like I feel now.

 

[LegoDad]

Terrible Call. Fresno State knee was down.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Wow. What a great INT.

Agree that the replay call was blown too.

 

[LegoDad]

Wow. What a great INT.

Agree that the replay call was blown too.

And the ball doesn't lie. INT!

Edit: And then a fumble... sigh

 

[pxleyes]

Bonkers!

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Oh wow. 3 plays. 3 turnovers.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

And an awful fumble.

Hey, Rutgers just retained possession!

 

[LegoDad]

and a rutgers TD... sigh

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Nice kick.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Fresno St. kicker was nails there.

 

[Chris R]

Watching the games on my DVR now... Liked the "popping the cork" line (and hit)

 

[LegoDad]

What a stupid penalty.. sigh

Edit: Too close to call they can't overturn that. But it should be a TD.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

That looked like a TD catch to me.

 

[Draxal]

it's like the first fresno fumble, it's a td but not enough to overturn.

 

[pxleyes]

Gotta be a TD.

 

[LegoDad]

HUGE RETURN

 

[Pristine_Condition]

WOW! Almost broke that...

 

[perfectchaos007]

Nice return. I need Rutgers to hold on to the 7 point lead for the pickem.

 

[peteykirch]

I think that was Carrs longest attempt

 

[LegoDad]

Fresno State needs to slow down.

 

[LegoDad]

Huge penalty.

Edit: TOUCHDOWN!

 

[GhostWriter24]

Wake the fuck up Rutgers.

 

[GodfatherX]

[Pristine_Condition]

I had Rutgers by 3, so I'm hoping for a return to the 25 or 30 here.

 

[pxleyes]

This game. I guess I was right earlier when I said the football gods weren't satisfied.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Burning a TO there to remind your kids how important a blocked kick would be. Hmmm

 

[Pristine_Condition]

my stream just died on watch espn, fresno still marching downfield?

Fresno just scored a TD. Tied @ 45

 

[peteykirch]

The MWC better thank Rutgers. Carr is going to have a dead arm

 

[GodfatherX]

[LegoDad]

Hawaii just ruined the USC spread! lmfao. Vegas going crazy.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Oh man. This could happen.

 

[Chris R]

How do you drop that pass Game should have been over just there.

edit: They make up for it there! Nice easy kick to win it now.

 

[LegoDad]

Fresno State going to pull a Vandy...

 

[desh]

And with that USC doesnt cover the spread.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Oh man. This could happen.

Ugh. If Rutgers didn't allow that lastTD I would have gotten MOV points on all 3 games today
