Wonder where they learn it?

I was 2 in 1971. I was in Oxford at the Ole Miss game last year when the chains broke, then the backup chains broke, then the repaired original chain broke again.

Maybe we should get chains that break as soon as the visiting team has a big play and has momentum. Then when we can't put it back together, we could have a backup set of chains that has the same feature. I don't know if anyone has ever thought of that. (Or maybe I saw that happen three times...

I agree that having permanent tier 1 schools would be a problem. How are the VA and NC laws written? If a super-league was formed, then there would be no "conferences". There would be a league with different "tiers" and "divisions". A stronger play could be made by the league. IF VA or NC...

There was also a non-call when Brooks ran through a TE on the visitor sideline and the ball hit him in the back. It was not a good job of officiating. There were missed calls, and phantom calls for/against both sides.

Can still shift. Watch that play just after the 2 minute timeout in the first half. One of the GT players on the line makes a jerking motion, and the OL player responds to it. If he were moving smoothly to the side, it wouldn't be a penalty. Similar to the offense. The entire offense can...

I assume you were responding to a post about the delay of game penalty instead of my statement that it looked like King was bobbling the ball a few times. LBs can blitz and try to time the snap. The issue is if someone is on the DL and they make a jerking motion like they are starting to rush...

Was it just me from my vantage point last night, or did King have issues holding the ball firmly four or five plays last night. On at least three plays, I remember thinking it looked like he was about to drop the ball.

If you watch it on TV, one of the guys on the line made a jerking motion like he was starting to rush. The OL guy reacted to is. They changed (or emphasized) the rule a couple of years ago that sudden movements that simulate a snap and cause the OL to move is included in the defensive delay of...

The officiating wasn't very good last night. There was also an obvious PI against Brooks earlier in the 2nd quarter that wasn't called. He ran through the TE and the ball hit him in the back. Overall, they missed calls and called phantom penalties.

Cal didn't blow it. There was very clear targeting that the replay officials said didn't exist. Cal should have had the ball with a first down with less than 2 minutes in the game. Instead, the ACC headquarters gave Miami an opportunity that they shouldn't have had. Two weeks in a row that...

He was on top of the line, but his entire body has to be past the line for it the be a penalty. However, there was clearly targeting and Cal should still have the ball.

I think it is just more obvious at this moment that the difference between FBS teams is not as great as people believe. (And the SEC hypes) The hype is that some teams (every team in the SEC) is like an NFL team and other teams are like high school teams. The differences are not anywhere near...

It isn't just the treatment of SAs. GT athletics is run very much like a business. GT is currently running an effort to raise $500 million. Are you upset that GT is raising money to update BDS, Zelnak, and O'keefe? We are part of a system that is all run as a business. I think that it is...

They are D1 FCS. One FCS win can count towards the 6.

I still think it is going to take a collective bargaining agreement to have any resolution like you want. If the schools are deciding that the schools can pay directly to the athletes, but that it is a limited amount, how are they going to get around collusion lawsuits? Will the argument...

Not necessarily. "Winter" doesn't start until December 21st. The mutt game is in the cesspool in 2026. Could start destructive construction the week of Thanksgiving.

The degree? GT has been pushing athletes to get degrees and to make personal decisions that affect them for the rest of their lives, regardless of their athletic performance for decades. I have talked to players from the early 80s tell me that Curry pushed them as hard in life as he did in...

I agree with that. There are many people however who think that nothing is wrong with the money in college football, as long as the players don't have access to any of it. If the same money exists, and college players can't afford to order a pizza, all is good. If that money exists and a...

Why does it matter to anyone if the Colorado quarterback has a Rolls Royce? If he wasn't playing football and his dad bought it for him would it still make you upset? College football is loaded with money now. How many more people watched Auburn in 2010 to see Cam Newton play? How many more...
