Big Ten Network Forces Biggest Ten Score in History - Wide Right & Natty Lite i just read this artical from Wide right natty lite it from what i gathered some of the turn overs in the game were on purpose??? at least thats what i gather something with having to do with Big Ten network stuff... if someone could elaborate for me please do

I hope you're not serious, but if you are, let me fill you in: WRNL is a satirical sports blog about ISU. Like the onion. They often post humorous stuff like this, for laughs.

It has been all over the national talk this week. Sounds like the Big Ten Network is in deep trouble with the NCAA over this.

I liked the comment about the lack of a play clock. At first I thought it would appear when it was under 10 or something but no, ISU calls a TO a split second before the delay of game flags fly and no clock. They did flash it a couple of times coming out of a time out or something when they had a larger stat banner, but as soon as they started getting in formation it disappeared. Because of course the play clock is not really relevant when it gets under 20.

What a miserable production.

At least they were consistent. Everything, including the announcers, was second rate.

The first down marker was also frequently reversed when it was actually there in time with the yellow line showing as the line of scrimmage and the black line being the first down.

I actually feel kind of bad for my hawk fan buddy. He's a pretty big FB fan and it probably secretly kills him to have to watch multiple games every year that are produced that poorly. At least we only have to put up with it a few times every other year.
