Illinois Game Week Thread

[Carm]

No - the language presented was "NFL Games are blacked out Fridays and Saturdays...until the College Football Season wraps up." Incorrect. There will be an NFL game played prior to the conclusion of the NCAA Football Season

You are a nincompoop.

The Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 dictates that broadcasting rights of pro sports leagues are exempt from antitrust decisions — but it also contains language that says the NFL cannot broadcast games on Fridays and Saturdays. NFL games are blacked out locally on Fridays and Saturdays, thus essentially prohibiting the play (and broadcasting) of the games.

That means Saturdays, which is when college football games are played, is a no-go for the NFL until the college season wraps up. The same can be said on Fridays and the high-school season.

With the college season ending in November, that opens the door for the NFL to play games on Saturdays

And aren't you the guy who thought the NFL could just decide to play and Saturday?

Yes - I mentioned that before looking up 1961 Acts of Congress. My B.

Also - the college season doesn't end in November. Ever heard of Army vs Navy?

I'm a sicko and we were going to go to this game as a group and instead decided on Wisconsin.

Their fans are fucking awful

Win by 3 TDS?
For fucks sake we can’t even score 3 TDs in one game

Man, things feel pretty bleak right now. Just absolutely no juice.

also Vincent Carroll-Jackson traveling, Lloyd expected to play. Sounds like we could see a number of young guys this week.

I think you mean Doss, but agreed. Hope Doss back means potentially less Bullock. Appreciate what you've given to the program Bullock... but damn.

I listened to it, thought for sure he also said Lloyd besides Doss. I'll listen again.

Ope, sorry Carm.

I think you have already mentioned it, but I think we are going to see more of the young guys as we get into the second half of the season.
Also, I think as the season has played out, the coaches are finding out that some of the older guys don't have the mindset that they are looking for.
Plus, they need to get as much playing time as possible for next year, as we have discussed before I think a lot of the older guys (Covid Juniors) will be moving on after this year.

Uhh but we also have a losing record

There will be some non-Covid juniors who get "lapped" by the new guys who also won't have a future. It will be interesting to see how that plays out in the portal v additions to the '24 class decisions in the November-January time frame.

It still kind of amazes me guys like Blaise can't get it together considering they're grown men. Frost poisoned this program deeply. This program needs some Deion treatment.
