Can hardly watch Game Day anymore because of McAfee.  Reminds me of a morning DJ on a pop radio station.  Needs to fill every available second with the sound of his voice.  Add him to the list including Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith of personalities I immediately change the channel when they come on.

Ding ding ding. This right here. 

Deion and Colorado are the big shiny new toy that everyone wants under the tree this Christmas. The better they look, the more likely it is that we lose Underwood to them. 

I’d rather see them get waxed today. Not anything personal against Deion, but Underwood is a game changer that this program desperately needs.

Waxed?  If by waxed you mean something like 47-34, then yeah.  In any case, expect CU to light up the scoreboard because USC's defense - as improved as it may seem against nobody, is still straight trash.  And if there's one thing Deion's boys can do, it's put up a score show when flashy plays are in the picture.

Well, the Pac12 programs came to the Big Ten (and its TV networks) not the other way around. 

So, the Big Ten (and its TV networks) will do what is best for them.  There won't likely be too many night games out on the west coast.  The current Big Ten teams won't want them and the TV networks won't want them.

There's basically zero chance of Michigan or OSU ever playing USC at 10 pm Eastern.

USC playing Purdue or Maryland at 10 pm Eastern? Yeah that might happen. But none of the B1G's TV partners would want to waste a big name game like that for 10 pm. USC won't ask for it either because quite frankly, they'll do what the network prefers every time. That's why they're playing at 10 am local time today.

Any word on Mason Graham's progress? I suspect not, since I'm a reader here and haven't seen it, though discussion last week did include a hand-casted return this week among its most optimistic predictions.

Elko giving the thumbs down when McCafee poured to him as who should be the next may coach is amazing.  That program it’s fans and players deserve all of this after he response to the tunnel crap last year and years of playing dirty.  Media types still trying to throw a bone like that’s going to be a good job.
