No shock there.
OT-How awesome would it be if they had a 24 Hour kickoff for college football like they’re doing for basketball?

What is a 24 hour kickoff for basketball?

It's a tipoff.

The struggle would be to find someone willing to kickoff at weird times.
If I am recalling correctly, Memphis started it (Midnight ET), then some California school (2 a.m. ET; 11 p.m. Western), then Hawaii (4 a.m. ET; far more reasonable Hawaii time). All of those seem relatively reasonable.
The teams that fell on the proverbial sword for this was Stony Brook @ Monmouth, which tipped off at 6 a.m. ET (Monmouth is in New Jersey). Even the game after that — Kent State and somebody, in Ohio — tipped off at 8 a.m. ET, which is really early.
I think the problem is that you’d have trouble finding someone willing to kick off at 6 a.m. local time.

Football is longer than basketball
It would still create weirdness but not as much as basketball
Some Cal school midnight ET-330AM
Hawaii 330 AM -7AM
then some East coast 7AM-1030AM
And then you are back to normal times
Given that there are...
…11 regular season football games, and 30-35 basketball games, I think it would be harder to find a team willing to burn one of their games on a midnight or 6 a.m. start than with basketball.

Yep.
Your best hope would be to find two East Coast, low-profile FCS teams that think it’s better to be on TV at a wacky hour than not on TV at all.
Doable, but difficult, especially because football = revenue for those schools, and it’d be hard to rally the fan base for a 7 a.m. kick.

Well
For a Cal school it would be a 9pm kickoff. Not too late but doable
Hawaii would be similar (don’t really care to look up the time difference right now) and the way they are playing I think you could talk them into it.
And the early east coast game could be some throwaway D3 game for all ESPN cares its not necessarily about the matchup as just advertising it as 24 hours of football.
I hadn't heard they were doing that.
I don’t really understand the premise though.

So glad they expanded the Cy ballot to 5 spots
I love some idiotic down ballot MVP votes.
Brett Myers and Bronson Arroyo, top 5 pitchers everybody! And looking at Arroyo, I guarantee that ballot went straight down the win list (he tied for 4th, had more losses than Hudson).
Why aren't you KinslerHomer anymore?

Waino es bueno.
But Halladay was better.
Will they get tomorrow’s award right, as well?
"Whenever I'm about to do something, I think 'Would an idiot do that?' And if they would, I do not do that thing."
And Wainwright just lost a lot of money:
This just locked him in for $6.5 million in 2012 and $12 million in 2013, as long as he doesn’t finish the 2011 season on the disabled list.

So staying on topic here...
I just read that the Redskins only owe McNabb 3.75 million if he gets cut before next year. What was the point of the extension, a boost of confidence?
