RE: ***Official Football Gamethread: NIU at CMU (12pm EST on ESPNU)***
Are there any highlights of the CMU game out there? I particularly want to see that bad CMU snap.

I know the entire game is on Youtube. Stupidly, when they snapped the ball, the camera was still on Hammock or elsewhere, so we completely missed what happened. Typical ESPN stupidity. They did show a replay from a side view. Looked like the snap was low and the holder didn't come close to grabbing it, it went right past him.

I saw that full-game video on Youtube. They showed the bad CMU snap, but it was originally shot from the endzone camera, which makes sense because they were expecting the field goal kick. However, the replay showed it from the side camera.
Those announcers were really bad.

It looked like by the time they showed the end-zone view the play had already happened and the players were already trying to jump on the ball.
Agree, the announcers were really bad. By the way, I watched a replay of the bowling green game, and the color guy said the phrase "go ahead" more than 50 times just in the first half. Yes, I counted.

Thanks very much! I actually had to go out on Saturday and listened to much of the game on radio. Bill Baker is the best!

That last call on the botched CMU fumble needs to be played on a repeating loop at the entrance to the Bill Baker Hall of Fame!

"The snap was no bargain!" is just a classic line! Love Bill Baker.

WTF?! Who said he was? I may not be directly involved in NIU Athletics like I was in the past but I still have some feelers and contacts and I can assure you he most certainly was not on the hot seat

Its a reference to an article in the Athletic written over the summer.
Hammock sure isn't on the hot seat but Hot Rod sure is! There are at least 2 fire Carey now threads on 2 separate boards and articles aren’t much better! Temple fans want his head on a platter (and fans from other AAC teams aren’t disagreeing). I saw one post saying how Temple got destroyed in the transfer portal (so it’s not all Hot Rod's fault). The response was that the upperclassmen left because they couldn't stand Hot Rod. I have no idea if that’s true or not, but it wouldn't surprise me.
When Temple hired Carey, I posted (again) that there was a reason Carey didn’t get hired away earlier, and to Temple fans – you’ll find out why. They did! Once again, thank you Temple AD!
As for Temple getting bowl eligible, I wouldn't hold my breath. They got beat by 20 points by a bad 1-5 USF team. Temple will get destroyed by UCF and Houston, so they would have to win the other 3 remaining games - not happening. Although it’s close, Temple isn’t even favored to win (according to the ESPN Matchup Predictor) against 1-6 Navy.

I agree. Carey is not a terrible recruiter, but coaching? Ha! His trip out the door at NIU was voluntary. But after that fake punt against Duke on national TV in the Quick Lane, and the resounding embarrassment NIU garnered from repeats on various sports reports ... well ... the Temple AD should have known what the Owls were getting into. But, again, thank you Temple!

Apparently USF hadn't won a FBS game in 2 years. Yikes!
Poor Carey and Mitchell Brinkman...

USF whipped us a few years back. How far they have fallen.
