HCH College Football Live Blog - Noon (11:00) Games
Here are the slate of noon games that I will be following closely since I got them on the TV (East Coast):
- Syracuse vs. Northwestern [ESPN 2]
- Virginia Tech vs. East Carolina [ESPN]
- I will also be following any upsets that may be brewing using the internet.
This should be fun.

12:00 - And here we go! VT starts off with the ball. Oh and LSU is up 17 with 10 minutes left in the first.
12:12 - So Virgina Tech is redshirting Taylor. Kinda interesting after he had a pretty good season.
12:18 - Virgina Tech dodges a bullet as they recover their fumble. Keeping their drive alive.
12:23 - VT looks like it will be going for it on 4th and short…and they don’t get it!
12:24 - VT has had all but one of their plays in ECU territory, and it is still tied at 0-0.
12:31 - It is the end of the first quarter, and it is still tied at 0-0. The longer ECU stays in the game, the better chance there will be an upset. Other top 25 games:
- LSU 31- App St. 0
- Wisc. 14 - Akron 0
- Pitt 7 - Bowling Green 0
- Penn St. 14 - Coastal Carolina 0
- Ohio St. 10 - Youngstown St. 0
12:43 - Virgina Tech finally gets on the board after a fumble recovery for a touchdown. 7-0 VT up on ECU.
12:48 - Beamer Ball is now in full effect. ECU fumbles the kickoff, and VT recovers it, VT ball deep in ECU’s zone.
12:53 - VT pounds it in. 14-0.
1:07 - Just when VT looked like they were going to take over, ECU picks of Glennon . ECU ball on the 1 yard line.
1:11 - After two failed attempts ECU finally punches it in…this game isn’t over yet! 14-7. Meanwhile the Northwestern - Syracuse game is finally starting to look like a football score. 9-3 Northwestern.
1:15 - That big screen area on the halftime set, nuts…and what makes me think that Lou Holtz just sleeps in that chair, and they only wake him up when the cameras are on.
1:20 - Halftime. VT beating ECU 14-7. Other top 25 scores:
- LSU 31 - App St. 0

1:31 - Bowling Green has tied it up with Pitt going into halftime. 14-14.
1:48 - Beamer Ball! Just when it looked like ECU was going to tie the game, a blocked extra point returned for two points. 16-13 VT over ECU
1:58 - DOINK! VT’s 44 yard FG is off the upright, score remains 16-13.
2:05 - Beanie Wells looks like he’s hurt. The question, why is he still in when his team is up 33…against Youngstown State.
2:14 - After a big bomb, it takes a few plays to punch it in. Extra Point missed. 22 - 13
2:37 - UPSET ALERT. Bowling Green has got a 3 point lead over Pitt. 20-17.
2:41 - This Virgina Tech - ECU game is not over. Pickney with the touchdown run. VT up 22-20.
2:51 - Beamer Ball in reverse. ECU just blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown with about 2 minutes left. ECU now up 27-22!
2:56 - Well, this game went from a snoozer, to one of the best games of the day so far. ECU shuts VT down, and its pretty much over. ECU with the ball…1:06 left, VT has 2 timeouts.
3:00 - ECU is going to have to punt it with about 8 seconds left…this game should be over.
3:01 - …and it is over. The announcers are debating if its an upset. If you win, then dump Gatorade on your coach, its an upset.

OK, well that was fun, Bowling Green is up by 10, with 10 minutes left. I am going to take it easy during the 3:00 games. I will be back for the primetime game’s to do this all over again.
