Wayne Matthews III of Michigan State seriously hurt in the game no one stayed up to watch.

Taken from the field in a backboard and loaded into an ambulance at the ramp. Hate to see it.

Timing feels weird. He went 3-9 last year, probably could have done it then. Didn't need to get embarrassed by Oregon to know the team is no better this year.

I make fun of the MSU start time, and it becomes a top 10 rated game for the week.

1. Florida-Miami (ABC): 6.500M
2. Auburn-Oklahoma (ABC): 6.100M
3. Texas Tech-Utah (FOX): 4.039M
4. Syracuse-Clemson (ESPN): 3.390M
5. Iowa-Rutgers (FOX, Friday): 3.013M
6. Illinois-Indiana (NBC): 2.261M
7. Arkansas-Memphis (ABC): 2.110M
8. Michigan State-USC (FOX): 2.100M
9. South Carolina-Missouri (ESPN): 1.850M
10. Washington-Washington State (CBS): 1.650M

I thought it was odd Michigan-Nebraska wasn't in the top 10.  It appears they had no data available for that game.

I should also give credit where I get these numbers.

"AI Overview" reports UM/Neb pulled 5.3M viewers and was CBS's top rated game. Given it was also sure that Lions had beaten the Ravens in 2009, make of those numbers what you will.  🤷‍♀️

So, will a sponsor for Oregon cost more than other schools because Oregon has 7,103 different jerseys?

[Dan Gilmore]

Nike is paying for the patches and the uniforms, and the practice facility and the locker rooms and the weight rooms and just about everything else. 🤭

The two Michigan games this year are MSU and Maryland.

I can't remember who said it.  But they accurately described college football.  Remember the old game show where someone goes in that glass shower, money blows around, and they try to grab as much as they can.  That is CFB right now.

their labor costs just got a lot higher...

Ah, yes, the time honored Michigan vs Maryland rivalry.  The whole dozen previous matchups beginning in 1985, such scintillating history that must be included when discussing college football at large.

The way he creams himself saying THE O-HI-YO STATE UN-I-VERSITY really drives me nuts. It just sounds bad for one. It also makes him sound like he's in the bag for them too.
