I am using a Samsung smart TV. No cc symbol that I can see?

Found the CC off in accessibility settings. Thanks

Is it me; or do these announcers sound like they belong in DIII. Expected something more professional from a perennial power??

They are not as 'home' as in many games.  Been giving Verse props, Oedekoven and Undercuffler.  I actually thought they did a good job, might just be me....  Alexander ran the KO back and then came in and scored on that long [65+ yard] pass and run. He is FAST!

The homerism with the absurd amount of "we"s by the one is kind of second rate.

Why try the fake? Just take the XP. Stupid call. What do you win? 

Now we MUST convert a 2pt conversion to tie the game. 

Stupid. Idiotic. Moronic. 

What do you expect from Coach G. Your post describes him perfectly IMHO. Ops sorry to get on him already.

I have no comment on announcers. Did the tv have a better angle on the fumble. He had the ball on his last step before the endzone . Did not on his first step in the end zone. But the rule is touchdown if he still had the ball when it reaches the line. That is what I couldn't tell from here

On TV it looks like it was out of his hand before he crossed the line, and the call was wrong, but the angle wasn't good and was impossible to tell the exact moment. If that was the only angle the refs had they wouldn't have enough evidence to overturn the call on the field.

Even at the highest budget levels of FCS it doesn't seem there are enough camera angles. Worked out in our favor this time. So we got that going for us. Which is nice.

I'm glad NDSU won the toss so I didn't yell at G for deferring - against a superior team I want the ball.

NDSU coach doesn't impress me because they're not just pounding the ball.

 

Also, on the radio Rodger said they were in Fargo, North Carolina

[dslyank]

I did not even see the play. Left early for BR break. Came back for the replay. Looked like a fumble to me; but had the sound off. What were homies saying?

[HOF2013]

On the the TV angle it looked like he dropped it BEFORE the kid hit him, Bounced off his knee.  BUT the angle was from the left and behind NOT on the goal line.

[Eli]

Lol. One play. TD. Lol. Now we need to convert a 2pt conversion And score 2 tds. Game. 

Goal now is to keep it respectable and build on it for the CAA season.

Pooch kicks to start half and the extra point for 2pts?  Wtf are we doing.  

[UAalum72]

Chop block vs the defense? can someone explain?

[HOF2013]

What the hell. Live stats have NDS up 21-7 with a touchdown in the 3rd with 13 second gone?????????????????
