Sunbelt Games Today - 9/13/08

[chrisfisher]

There is a great line up of Sunbelt action today on ESPN360.com - definitely my favorite sport video streaming site. Here they are:

11:00 AM - FAU vs Michigan State

6:00 PM - Western Kentucky vs Alabama

6:00 PM - MTSU vs Kentucky

7:00 PM - North Texas vs LSU

Best chance for a nice OOC SBC victory? Maybe FAU vs. MSU?

FAU vs. Michigan State kicks off at 11 A.M. on ESPN 2 or so says DMN this A.M.

FAU and MTSU should both have a good shot at winning. A win over Big Ten and SEC in the same weekend would be huge for the Sun Belt. Unfortunately, we aren't one of the teams that could challenge for a BCS conference win.

Can someone tell me what channel the game is on PPV please?

[Mean'n'Green07]

The Sunbelt just gets better each year. ULM almost beat Arkansas last week, ASU beat TAMU and MTSU already beat Maryland (and maybe FAU can pull on out against MSU), Add in that Troy usually beats a team in a BCS conference once a year. If only we could pull our weight and knock off one of the big boys.

And I swear I just saw a score update the Maryland is beating a Top 25 team right now... I think it was California... can't recall though...

[chrisfisher]

Yes, it was California (#23)... Maryland up 14-0 in the 1Q.

[chrisfisher]

FAU so far is going head to head with MSU. I am so use to us not even competing, it is nice to watch a SBC team appear to be at similar levels of competitiveness with another decent OOC team. SBC is definitely getting stronger. I hope that we can contribute to this trend in the very near future.... I can't take another couple years of being blown out.

Good lord. This FAU/MSU thing isn't a football game. It's a mud wrestling match!

If you have time warner it's 922, I bought the game. at least I hope I did. I had to call them up, told me it was like 21 bucks.

I just tried to order our game on Dish Network, and it told me it was blacked out in my area. WTF???

I've never understood blacking out the visiting team's market. Why punish the visiting team if the home team can't meet the requirements to lift the black out.

The NFL is even worse though.

Is the ESPN Game Plan a part of dish network? They advertise game plan quite a bit on time warner. I Can buy the whole package but asked if I could by the one game, the rep stepped away from the phone and after what seem liked 15 minutes he told me it was set up.

It's hard to believe we won the belt 4 times a few years back... now I think we'll get blown out in just about every conference game (maybe we can beat FIU).

MTSU vs Kentucky on ESPN360.

TD MTSU!

MUTS 7

Ken 0

1st 9:21 (me thinks)

[chrisfisher]

There is no thread going so I'll just use mine. They need to give Dunbar the ball. He is gaining nice yardage on every carry!

[chrisfisher]

I realize that these are low expectations, but I am pleasantly surprised with our first half play. Our offense actually moved the ball pretty good. Mental mistakes killed us, but those are correctable. Our offensive line is giving great protection against some big ass defensive linemen coming at Vizza. Defense is playing decent against the run, though they have broke some big runs. Special teams return coverage needs lots of work. No matter what happens in the 2nd half, I think Dodge has some great things to build on in first half against the defending national champions.

[chrisfisher]

NICE! MTSU now leading Kentucky 14-10 with 4:58 in the 3Q. MTSU is going to be handful in SBC play this season.
