What would be really great and innovative is if we could flip it to the coaches' film session on ESPN2 during commercial breaks.

hard to believe that a few months ago, tOSU would have lost the game vs Penn State but for a blown call in their favor, surely keeping them out of the playoff, and now here they are matching Oregon blow for blow in the national championship game.
Two blown calls in their favor (INT and lack of delay call on the FG). Wounds are still healing.

commercials are going for like a million each. Ain't no way they're going to do that.

No, I meant ESPN2 should not be in commercial when ESPN is.
 
Asking a network to deliberately get people to switch the channel during an expensive sporting event is a losing proposition.

The ESPN scroll in the coach film room just said kevin Garnett essentially lost his goddamn mind with Dwight Howard. Threw the ball at him, head-butted him, punches were thrown, got ejected... what in the hell?

Ya, it was ugly and made KG look small. OTOH, can't be accused of picking on some diminutive rookie now.

In the coaches room? I'm so confused.

I'm digging the ESPN2 coaches feed thing. They're using the telestrator presnap and everything. It's awkward at first, but they're more intelligent than most of the PBP.

OSU defense helped by a couple of lucky drops early, but they're getting legit stops now.
 
Man, that first drive for Oregon looked pretty scary. Then the drops happened and it's mess city for that offense. Keep them off balance!
