Cornell-Harvard at noon; other sports also scheduled
Wow, tough choices early this afternoon on what to watch during the Cornell-Harvard commercial breaks on Versus.
Rutgers-Cincinnati on SNY (good Carlin-bashing fodder), Syracuse-West Virginia on ESPNU (real life rematch of apparently mischaracterized 1959 game between the teams depicted in new movie about Ernie Davis), Texas-Oklahoma on ABC (will Erin Andrews be there?).
Wait, come to think of it, I don't get ESPNU. Never mind.
(UPDATE: The Giants' Kevin Boothe, the best player out of Cornell currently in the NFL, relays a cheap shot at the school via Warren Sapp in today's NY Post.)
(UPDATE: Cornell scuffling in third quarter, 28-10. The play-by-play man just said he was Rich Ackerman. Is that OUR Rich Ackerman, WFANer and loyal WatchDog reader?)
(UPDATE: The Bengals' starting quarterback against the Jets Sunday went to Harvard!)
Tonight it's hockey and baseball. Apparently the Sarah Palin puck-dropping at the Rangers-Flyers game that I heartily endorsed the other day has been blasted by many as being politically motivated because Flyers boss Ed Snider is a big Republican donor.
I don't care. Let the hockey mom celebrate hockey, doggone it.
Speaking of the Islanders, did any of you have the same problem I did Friday night, in which the first period of the Isles-announcers version of the game did not appear on the overflow channel designated for said telecast?
I am looking into that situation.

I listened to Howie Rose here in Nashville all three periods last night.
Reading you live from Harvard Stadium. Go Crimson!
bmfc1: I'm going to let you continue to comment on this blog, but if you ever try something like this from a Cornell-Harvard hockey game, you will be banished.
Or a basketball game!
Remember, we're a hoops school now.
What other Rich Ackerman could it be?
I think one rich ackerman is more than enough
The world would be a better place if there were more Rich Ackermans to call more games on TV. There wouldn't be much need for awfulannouncing.com if that were the case.
Seriously, with all the terrible play by players out there, what I saw today Ackerman did as well or better than 95% of them.
