FB: Duke @ MTSU 9/14 7PM on Facebook

[BigWayne]

Well at least there won't be a reason to complain about your cable provider.

I believe TV rights are controlled by whatever deals the home team and/or the home team's conference have made.

You do not have to have an account on Facebook to view it.

It will be on this Facebook page on Saturday: https://www.facebook.com/watchstadium/

It also said Duke would be streamed on ESPN3. Gold star for anyone who knows what the heck that means these days.

I saw where MTSU is doing a "black out" for the game -- wonder if that means we'll go with all-whites again. I'd like to see Duke in all-white, at night, while the other team and fanbase is wearing all-black.

MTSU also has its beer garden so there needs to be cross-posting with "Ymm, Beer".

I saw a line on vegasinsider.com that had Duke favored by 7.

MTSU's coach was coaching for Clemson in 1989 -- hah!

And Tommy West is MTSU's DL coach.

And Grantland Rice was born in Murfreesboro.

That's all the random facts I have.

Duke's bowl hopes will be doomed if we lose...

Duke's bowl hopes will be doomed if we lose...

No they won't. They'll be lessened, of course, as every loss makes them. But we'd 'only' have to win 5 of 7 of this not-so-murderers' row: VT/Pitt/UVA/UNC/WFU/Syracuse/GT.

I was kinda being funny, rhetorical, in context of the post I was referring to. I was not doing a technical mathematical equation. Obviously bowl hops are not DOOMED literally until we lose 7.

Gene Delle Donne came to Duke as a QB and ended up at MTSU playing TE. His sister is in the news for finishing the WNBA season shooting 50% from the field, 40% from 3, and 90% from the line:

Yep. And as someone said at the time, he was "One and Delle Donne."

Shouldn't this be in the beer thread?

[devildeac]

Thanks. We always appreciate the publicity/advertising/references.

Hops could also be discussed in any of the recruiting threads, too.

For those interested in Civil War history, a couple of major battles were fought in the neighborhood.

If you are not interested in Civil War history, a couple of major battles were fought in the neighborhood.

But you wouldn't be interested.

Anyone expecting this to be an easy blowout will probably be mistaken. MTSU looked like a legitimate, solid football team against my Wolverines two weeks ago (although, how much of that was due to Michigan's early season woes, especially after the Army debacle, is up for debate). Their QB was hard to take down and made plenty of tough plays, so I expect them to score on us. But Michigan eventually tore up the MTSU defense through the air, so we'll have to see the Quentin Harris of this past week, as opposed to Week 1, for this to be the victory we need it to be.

FCS Tennessee State also scored 26 on them, I believe. It's video game offense week.

Sagarin has Duke at #47 and MTSU at #97:

Scoring stats:

Scoring Offense: MTSU #57 (33 points per game) / Duke #87 (24 points per game)

Scoring Defense: Duke #82 (27.5 points per game) / MTSU #108 (33 points per game)

Sagarin at this early stage is amusing.

We are right ahead of Georgia at #46.

Go Duke!

Michigan also ran for 224 yards (5.0 ypc) against them, compared to 108 (2.6 ypc) against Army, which suggests that we should be able to move the ball on the ground as well as through the air against MTSU.

That article is confused and contradicts itself. This game will be on Facebook/Stadium. It will not be on ESPN3 or any ESPN affiliated service unless something changes, which I do not expect it to.

[OldPhiKap]

This game will be on Facebook

So, it will be interspersed with political diatribes, bad jokes, and shots of the offspring of folks I only vaguely remember?

Don't forget pictures of meals people are eating.

What do you mean, Facebook/Stadium? I don't subscribe to Facebook (Yeah, I know I'm one of the very few). But I do have a Roku device and I found first, the Roku channel and then, Stadium (via a search), so I think I can get that channel on Saturday. But if a Facebook pass is required, then what?
