Enough time to show 30 minute "Best of Trev Alberts" segment, perhaps

"Records are made to be broken — you just don't know when. Here's one that's scheduled for next week: ESPN will set a new U.S. TV sports record for most-over-the-top-hype. The idea, to be announced Wednesday, is to give ESPN's first college football game this season — Louisiana State at Mississippi State on Aug. 30 — a whopping 25-hour lead-in. Rece Davis, saying he'll play "the Jerry Lewis role" in hosting the marathon: "I might have to wear a tux. … And at the end, maybe we'll dim the lights and I'll loosen my tie and have more product in my hair than usual." What he'll do for the kids. ESPN's Twenty-Five Hours of College Football Presented by TIVO starts at 7 p.m. ET Aug. 29 and continues until the Tigers-Bulldogs kickoff 25 hours later. Some regular shows, such as SportsCenter will remain intact, but with more emphasis on college football, while offbeat fare fills time slots. The University of Hawaii team practice was moved to 9 p.m. in their time zone to fill the 3 a.m. ET slot. Davis says the format came up casually — "somebody said, 'Why don't we stay up all night?' " — and will serve fans "starved for more, more, more. I can't imagine there'll be much we'll miss.""

They're gonna need a trough for all of Lou's spittle

i would hope they could go 25 hours without saying something about vick or something else i don't want to hear about but i doubt it

8/22/2007 6:37:40 PM

8/22/2007 6:42:04 PM

Talking about the ACC now from what it looks like.

8/29/2007 8:10:49 PM

hah. they have coker on there talking now.

8/29/2007 8:12:08 PM

did he just call the new BC coach Jaygozinki? WTF? He totally left out the d too. That's why he's nicknamed Jags. I guess he'll just have to be called Gaygodzinki.

^hahaha

just trying to read that name makes me want to take a nap

8/29/2007 8:21:50 PM

Oh snap, Mangino.

8/29/2007 9:05:22 PM

25 Hours... its not needed, I can say WVU will dominate all of college football in less than a minute.

No one is staying up all night though. They had Sportscenter, then a rerun of some of what they were doing last night, then its Sportscenter reruns until noon as usual.

this is not as it was advertised

8/30/2007 10:03:13 AM

Well, what do you expect from ESPN?

[Edited on August 30, 2007 at 10:22 AM. Reason : getting tired of ESPN]

hmm...I wonder if mcfadden paid for that car.

8/30/2007 12:36:57 PM

How come nobody talks about Brian Brohm? He HAS to be the best QB....I thought he was the best last year. He could have been picked over Russell.

8/30/2007 12:41:34 PM

too bad they still showed NFL Live

Is that sarcasm?

8/30/2007 1:47:30 PM

Let's go people start submitting some ACC / NC State questions. I'm tired of seeing people from NC asking about Ohio State and big 10 schools.

8/30/2007 2:00:59 PM

No it is sarcasm....he is better than Colt Brennan or John David Booty by miles.

I watched Louisville play about 3 games and he is dead on accurate and strong.
