MACtion baby! The time of year we're on legit TV and and I can drink my sorrows away at some Chicago bar instead of my living room. Miami @ Buffalo and Kent State @ Bowling Green kick things off tonight on ESPN2 and ESPNU respectively, both starting 7 CST.

Not a fan of having competing MACtion. I want to watch all the midweek games. Change the times ESPN!

I'd prefer if we had a MACTION game balanced by a Funbelt one Tuesdays and Wednesdays. No G5 should have to play more than 1 home weeknight game, especially when the Mouse is farming them out to CBS sports network.

The reality is that while attendance for a serious rivalry game will be depressed by weeknight MACtion, games like Toledo-Ball State won't be much different from a November Saturday. If rivalries were kept to October weekends and MACtion was guaranteed to ESPNU (often times they're ESPN3) most of my complaints would be addressed.

Not even four minutes in, Miami and UB have already traded touchdowns. It's gonna be one of those games isn't it...

If more viewers had your preferences, ESPN would work out a schedule to match. What they have fits the interest of people in watching midweek Go5 games.

Not sure ESPN can do much with staggering the kick off times that much as all MAC games in November (including Oct 30/31) are played on week nights.

Small validation for the close game Notre Dame had with Pitt.

Yea and that close game UCF had with Pitt ... 45-14 (the 14 was a kick return for a TD and a garbage time td against our backups)

Nebraska 7 Ohio St 0

Nebraska gets opening TD and then has the worst kickoff I think I've ever seen. Ohio St gets ball on 32. Get to 4th and 1 and shut down.

Nebraska taking advantage of a couple OSU turnovers, winning 21-16 after one half.

Clemson 77
Louisville 16

4th Qtr 6:46

WTF happened to Louisville football? Weren’t they supposed to be a competitive team in the ACC?

ESPN Clemson 70-9 over UL 13:29 left.
Clemson 77-16 over UL 2:09 left.
Both of these scores were on their website AFTER I saw Clemson 77-16 with 29 seconds left on their website.

ESPN has some awful flaws with their webpages.

They’re terrible.

I use the CBS Sports app and they’re pretty up to date on the scores.

Now the committee can be serious, swap out Texas A&M for Houston.

It's only fair.

Their page runs so slow/behind at stadiums I usually end up relying on this thread.

#16 Iowa is losing.
#22 Boston College is losing.
#11 Florida is losing.
#15 Utah is losing.
#20 Texas A&M lost.

HMMM.

Your ESPN Bottom Ten
Pillow Fight of the Year of the Week

#1UTEP(0-8) leads #4 Rice (1-8) at the half

At Rice.

UTEP opened as a 1pt favorite but it had swung over to Rice as a slight home favorite.

Oops I’ve been handed this late update.
With just :17 sec left in the half Rice completed 2 passes for 50 yards and kicked a long FG to get on the board!!
The drive more than doubled Rice‘s yards for the game so far (and also doubled their first down total to 4)... the comeback is officially ON 3-27 *really* at the half
