@NathanFrancisIQ @sportsrapport I never had cable TV growing up and there was one CBB and one NBA game on each week. That was it. Then I went to college in 1983 and watched Big East basketball on cable TV. I thought it was the greatest thing ever. Ewing, Mullin, Pearl, Nova, Seton Hall, UCONN ... .

@BostSportsGuy2 @sportsrapport I don't live there, but it doesn't seem like the same can be said about college hockey.

[Larry Sidelines @LarrySidelines]

@JosiahSmitsjo3 @sportsrapport Yes, the whole vibe of college football centers on the college experience: pep rally, marching band, cheerleading, Alma mater, particular school's traditions and rivalries. You get the full impact by being there in person or on campus.

@brain85012 @sportsrapport When they have this expanded CFB playoffs, it will coincide with the middle of college basketball season, at which point I will stop caring. I think fellow Northeast sports fans feel the same.

@JTate98 @sportsrapport Is Temple football at all popular? Honest question.

[Larry Sidelines @LarrySidelines]

@KennyPordon @sportsrapport I don't even consider Notre Dame in the Northeast. It's Midwest. It's popular in the northeast because there are tons of Catholics in the region. Western Pennsylvania also has more in common with the Midwest than it does with the Northeast.

@Jimfrombaseball The All-American Out line and hitting .400 made me lol. Ruth sounds like a fun teammate. Cobb, not so much.

@NewsmanChris @KDKA Two years on, how is that going?

@Lister38 @Dept_2702 @BullMooseProj The magnetic spectrum on which airwave transmissions travel is a finite resource and needs to be regulated so one transmitter can't knock ships at sea and airplanes off the air.

[Larry Sidelines @LarrySidelines]

@RTGatsby @BullMooseProj The magnetic spectrum is a public utility. A lot of people think of it as just radio and TV, forgetting that first responders, ships at sea, etc., need it and it has to be regulated to keep transmissions from stepping on each other.

@carlberg44 @HardcoreHusky It doesn't include the MAC.

[Larry Sidelines @LarrySidelines]

@blackxjck_cjL @DanWetzel Resurrect the Longhorn Network?

[Larry Sidelines @LarrySidelines]

@sitnuok @DanWetzel Agreed. Imo, B1G/SEC were jealous of the old Big East non-football schools like Georgetown, St. John's, Villanova, etc., come March Madness.

[Larry Sidelines @LarrySidelines]

@PARambler11 @DanWetzel @MarkWogenrich That's a good northeast football conference even without Penn State and Notre Dame. Schools from the biggest northeast media markets could include Rutgers, UConn, Temple, Boston College, Pitt, UBuffalo, Louisville, Maryland, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Syracuse.

[Larry Sidelines @LarrySidelines]

@smadak0328 @DanWetzel Yes, and stop with these nonconference games against patsies. Beating someone 50-0 is a glorified scrimmage. Put the MAC and Sunbelt and similar leagues in a new division.

[Larry Sidelines @LarrySidelines]

@SamYoshida @DanWetzel Spot on. I stopped caring. Rivalries, traditions, Alma mater maybe winning a bowl game -- things of the past now.

[Larry Sidelines @LarrySidelines]

@cfbcampustour That's what I'm talking about! You da man! Keep up the good work.

[Larry Sidelines @LarrySidelines]

@BeautyOfAGame I need to go to YouTube and play me some "Who Loves Ya, Baby" by Telly Savalas. Sing it, Kojack.

@KevG163 This was on NFL Films: B/f a game, refs came over to Van Brocklin & said they were taking up a collection for funeral expenses of an old ref who died. They wondered if coach would donate $10. The Dutchman reached into his wallet and gave them $20 and said, "Here, bury 2 of them."
