YES!!! If anyone recorded the broadcast, please capture and post this segment.

Commentator: "If there is a stat, there is a pretty good chance that Kent State is the worst at it."

Commentator #1: "This has not been Kent State's night." Commentator #2: "It has not been Kent State's couple of seasons." I LOVE these guys! Can't we just always play on CBSSN?!

Keep punchin' 'em in the mouth! We need the confidence and positive energy.

It's always a good feeling to be laying waste to a rival early in the third quarter. There's still nearly a whole half of pounding Kent left!

The commentators and quality of the broadcast are actually much better than those on ESPN. As a viewer, I am thrilled, but this likely comes at the expense of CBSSN not generally having the subscribers/viewership as ESPN.

"Kent Read, Kent Write" in our student section getting some exposure and the announcers enjoying it on the broadcast...I love it!

KS37 looks to be a really good kicker. Wish we had him or someone like him a few years ago against Indiana...it's amazing what that game could have meant for us, especially considering where IU is as a program right now.

Great turn around catch by Norton, and Finley looks sharp. Lots of good catches by our WR's in general. Maybe this is the game we look back on and say it is when everything gelled for our offense? Let's hope so.

Our lack of pressure on the QB is allowing these deep open routes and accurate passes.

Nationally, no one cares. These commentators may make this game vaguely interesting to a barstool bum looking for a game to watch though.

Other than mispronouncing "Buchtel" during the intro segment, the booth commentators are pretty good. They are knowledgeable and elevate the game, which is impressive for a match up of two of the worst teams in the country.

Fwiw, three of four studio pundits on CBSSN picked Kent to win. Good to see we are proving them wrong thus far, despite the missed coverage on Kent's long TD.

Let's make it 20!!! It's 5:19 PM EST, and...

I was at that game! It was circa 2004. It was so much fun, and a great memory of my time as a student.

Princeton is a great match up for us, and the bracket is favorable. Every team up to the final is beatable. I even like our chances at IU, if we beat Princeton.

This is the best we could have hoped for. We would not meet OSU or Georgetown until the final, and I honestly believe: 1) we are good enough to get there, and 2) there are no other teams that we can't beat, even on the road.

We're hating on each other during Kent week?!...really??? It's 9:44 PM EST, and...

Except in the NCAA Championship game...our PK loss to UVA many years ago in the NCAA final was not counted as a tie, but a loss.

I'd love for us to host IU or Michigan, and I think these outcomes are entirely possible. I don't think there is any way that we do not make the NCAAT. A few bad losses very early in the season leading to a misleadingly high RPI is the only thing that even makes us borderline. We are currently one of the best teams in the country and could make a deep run. IMO, there is no way the selection committee overlooks these things. We also no longer have the MAC as a terrible, no name conference as an excuse. The Big East is legit, and we are the regular season champions.

Not to mention parking, concessions, and merchandise revenues. We can dream!

That same link also shows that we are the #6 highest scoring offense in the country. Pretty amazing considering how poorly the season started. Also, Georgetown and UConn are top rated defenses. We broke through and drew blood to defeat one but not the other. It will be interesting how the balance of offensive strength versus defensive strength plays out in a rematch with Georgetown.

At this point, the only scenario I can envision in which we do not get in to the tournament is by losing to Georgetown by two or more and then Georgetown losing and not playing well in the final. We are afterall, the Big East regular season champions, and we've not lost (thus far) in about thirteen games. (I am too lazy to review the schedule and figure out the exact number.)

I think there's a case to be made that even if we lose to Georgetown by 1, especially if Georgetown go on to win the Big East Tournament, that we should get serious consideration for a top 16 seed. Will we get it?...likely not, but a case can and should be made.

Agree to disagree. Why a full 20 minutes? In my opinion, the teams had the opportunity to settle the scoreless tie that starts the game, and that opportunity was the full 90. Sudden death is an attempt to decide the game on the merits of field play rather than having to resort to penalty kicks. Like fknbuflobo said, I also appreciate the potential for injuries when additional time is added, which is another reason I think extra time should be limited to sudden death.
