Clay Travis is going to be calling football games this year? Oh Jesus

Travis will just be a correspondent/contributor for Big Noon Kickoff. Basically doing the same thing Chris Connelly does for ESPN as far as I am aware.

The press release did not indicate he’d have in-game sideline responsibilities or be in the studio shows.

To be fair, I’ve never heard Gardner broadcast before.

I actually don’t mind Huard. In fact I think he’s up there with Klatt and Charles Davis at diagnosing and explaining plays in real time without having to refer to the monitor for a replay.

I got Huard confused with that idiot redneck on ESPN. Has the spiked hair in the front. Think he is a ginger.

Edit: Marty Smith. Fuck that guy.

Hey, they may not have won one in college football, but they did win one this year in women's gymnastics. So they've got THAT goin' for them... which is nice.

I have as much respect for Devin Gardner as you can for a player for tsun. Outside of the offer letter burning stunt, I don't recall him running his mouth or being a Twitter warrior. Unlike the guy he followed, he didn't tap out because of some ouchies. I'll never forget the savage beatings he took against sparty in 2013 and 2014 or how he played his heart out against us both years. But most of all, this...

Yeah, mad respect for that. Remember it well. Also remember the cognitive dissonance it created… and still creates.

That gesture was a very good reminder that they’re all still kids. As much as we rail against them, they are just kids.

That said, fuck *ichigan.

I agree. Good dude, albeit one with execrable judgment.

The big storyline from the top 30 is a heavy SEC presence at nearly every cut line. The league has two of the top four with Georgia and Alabama, four of the top 13 when you add in Kentucky and Ole Miss, seven of the top 21 and a total of eight teams in the top 30 with Auburn the lowest ranked of the group at No. 29. Upcoming conference games like Kentucky and Georgia's SEC East battle in Athens next week -- the SEC on CBS Game of the Week -- are sure to disrupt this dominance a little bit, but it's clear our voters believe strongly in more than half of the conference when compared to the rest of the country.

Not one mention of 5 B1G teams in the Top 10. Weird.

Four teams in the AP Top 25 have two losses. Arkansas, Florida, and Texas A&M are three of them. The other is #25 Texas, who nudged out two loss Auburn for the last spot by two votes.

I noticed that also. I didn’t mention it because the 2-loss teams in the B1G are Maryland, Minny, and Purdue. I wouldn’t put any of them in the top-25.
