Any idea why there was no onscreen shot clock graphic in the second game?

I would think that such a thing wouldn't be venue specific; if they could have one for the Princeton game I don't see why they couldn't have one for the Penn game.

I thought Jules Heningberg was terrific on the call for the Penn/Richmond game. Broke down the game in detail without getting in the weeds, and stuck to what was happening on the field.

Agreed. And I bet he gets paid way less than the QuACkers. Somebody should point that out to the Disney bean counters.

Though if I go the rest of the weekend without hearing "It just doesn't get any better than this" again, I'll be a happy man.

That, and "What a momentous...moment."

"make it, take it" is so cringe

Carc is mostly cringe, which is why it's good when he talks less.

Sad news: he's going to be in Ithaca tomorrow. I was hoping for Boyle.

Carc calls the ball ‘the rock’ like it’s 1987, absolute buffoon. Both games without the clown three were so much more enjoyable.

I will say I did like the “let the bodies hit the floor” comment in the second half of the UVA-Brown game.

The 3 amigos should never do a game together. Nor should any two.

Most commentators are like the braying jackhole sitting behind you at the game who won’t STFU.

Mute works better at home…

I’ll never forget sitting behind a guy that kept saying “Brady needs to make more back shoulder throws” during the entire game. He had to be 5”10 /250.

I tried, I really, really tried but I just went to the golf telecast. I'm done!!!. Cancelling ESPN+ today and maybe cancelling college lacrosse that isn't on BIG or ACC (without Anish or Carc). At least when you had them as a three person team only one game at a time was ruined. Does any ESPN management watch the telecasts or are they too focused on Disneyland. I'll get my lax fix watching NEWest 1 games on Locallive TV.

Available online? Or only old-school?

Found it, I think. Commercial…
