For instance, before ESPN+, App State had a subscription service for their games that was like $25 for the season or some poo.

I had that and it sucked absolute ass.  It looked like somebody was on the top of the stadium pointing a HandyCam from 2001 at the field.  They piped the radio broadcast in over it and it usually went out of sync.

Give me the presentation and production quality of ESPN+ for $10 a month all day over that.  poo looks like Sunday Night Football compared to what we used to get, if App was even on TV.  Plus David Jackson giving us homer takes in the announcing booth, that's been nice.

Yeah I did too, it was laughably bad. I'm very thankful for ESPN+ it being owned by the Disney overlords notwithstanding.

😂 Great play but damn if the audio on the radio call was atrocious and the video was terrible and missed the best part of the play even though the ball was easily seen. So close if they just follow the ball.

I'm guessing they were watching the play with their eyes rather than the screen and didn't adjust the angle until after the catch.

One of the camera men who gets tackles there at the end actually had an awesome shot if you look it up

here's one of them from the App State camera man that was beside them that's also good but I'm still looking for the video from the guy that gets tackled at the end.

I can't find the one from the camera man that got tackled anymore but I saw it come through my twitter feed yesterday immediately afterwards but now there's like 50 billion videos of the play everywhere so it's impossible to find one video almost.

The consensus seems to be that most of the country dug College Gameday.  Corso seemed to be happy and on point as well, and that was heartwarming considering what he's been through.

I haven't been to Boone in ten years, but when they did that shot floating over Sanford Mall it all came rushing back to me.  I felt like I had just been there yesterday and not a decade ago.

      I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty

      And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
