AAC Coaches’ Teleconference: Edsall

Beating a dead horse here but ESPN is airing Northwestern at Purdue on Thursday night in the 8PM spot. I know its a Big 10 matchup but that is an absolute snoozefest. Run the ball, punt the ball, run the ball, punt the ball, etc., etc.

How can that be more appealing to viewers around the country than watching the defending national champs @ UConn?

You haven’t see Purdue play under Brohm.

Doesn't the B1G have a deal with ESPN? If so, there's your answer. Perpetuate the image of the product you're selling.

1) Always glad to see them trying...
2) 2 hours *after* the game for a night game? That's insane...

Go for it but don't emulate the guy in the restaurant scene in "The Meaning of Life".

Just one wafer-thin mint...

With an explosion of flavor..........

Loved all the Monty Python movies, especially this scene, the fish swimming by each other in the aquarium saying "morning" each time by and the debate at the castle wall about what type swallow could have carried a two pound coconut.

Gotta say, I'm feeling the start of the season excitement, notwithstanding the fact that I think it will be a long night for us on Thursday. I'm trying to manage my expectations. I just want to see improvement, in fundamentals, in scheme, in body language.

Going to have to hope I can stream this up in Vermont. Really hoping we can stay in this game well into the second half. Moral victories matter when you are where we are.

Whoops. Randy just dropped an F bomb live on the coaches show, and was obviously pretty embarrassed by it.
