Game thread - Ball State

[BGSU33]

Northern is in trouble. Down 13 at half. We may end up facing the Rockettes up in Detroit.

Ohio is using its third string quarterback in is outgaining NIU 238-71!!!

Why is Johnson holding onto the ball so long? And how do you get a delay of game penalty coming out of a timeout???

I just started watching the game, but that really confused me.

Hammb???? Why isn't ESPN3 an option. Last I knew you had Directv and I have no problems with Directv and ESPN3.

I do have directv, but I've never been able to get espn3 with time warner cable internet since I don't have their tv.

I think espn3 works through contracts with your ISP rather than your cable provider. When I put in my time warner login it tells me I'm not authorized since I don't have their tv.

[hammb]

I'll be damned! I had no idea DirecTV and espn3 had reached a deal! Just turned the game on using my DirecTV subscription instead of time warner.

This will be very handy for hoops!

[BGSU33]

Now get the starters out of there!

[gmartin]

Directv and ESPN reached an agreement in February. If I knew you had difficulties I would have told you that SEVEN months ago

[footballguy51]

What a drive! The best part was that final run. I love watching Travis Greene run.

Congratulations to Travis Greene on 1,000 yards this season!

Ha-ha nice. I had no idea. This was the first game I had tried to watch so want really an issue up until today.

Will be far more handy for basketball though!

NIU just lost another QB

[MarkL]

It looks like NIU is also down to their third string QB. Graham has some kind of ankle injury. NIU down by 6. NIU is playing well on defense and is running well on offense.

[gmartin]

NIU QB was helped off the field. They now will be playing their 3rd string QB. Still trailing by 6 with Ohio driving early in the 4th. NIU is really beaten up. Hope they somehow can pull this out with their 3rd string QB

[gmartin]

Wow. We were 3 yards away from having 3 running backs with 100 yard games.

[kdog27]

This might have been touched upon somewhere but what happens if NIU and Toledo lose?

[gmartin]

That has to be one of the longest runs every by a running back. 95 yards. Freshman too. Nice run and nice TD Domer.

Doing some Christmas shopping at my desk with the iPad in the corner with the game. BSU punts to the BG 5, so I assume they will be taking a knee. Let's check the final stats on ESPN.com...

WHO THE F IS MATT DOMER?! ESPN screwed up and has some kid from a directional school in Louisiana in our box score. (It has happened before)

Cut to iPad (apparently slightly behind). Domer streaking down the field for a TD.

I was glad to be wrong.
