I really liked the steadfast commitment to the run game. Hasselbeck (sp?) talked about how play callers sometimes get bored with calling the same play(s) and mix things up sometimes unneccesarily. I really liked that broadcast team. Of course, Wes is a known entity but I enjoyed Hasselbeck's...

It is my understanding (and the announcers said as well iirc) that forward progress/when the play is stopped is NOT reviewable.

Looking at the games you reference it appears that we grew up at about the same time. While not specifically throwing any single games into the list, in my childhoood there were three games that were "must see" TV back then....Texas- OU, USC - ND, and OSU-Michigan. I can still hum the fight...

OTOH, I was thinking Jamal may have actually fumbled the ball when they said the play was stopped due to forward progress. Did anyone else think that when looking closer at the replays?

I too am scratching my head over this. At the end of the day I wonder if this isn't a publicity stunt to appease their idiotic fan base. You know, like people in corporations or politicians do when they form a committee to create the illusion of "something is being done about (insert problem...

There are several "da U" games that popped into my mind...including some of their 'wide right" classics with FSU when those two teams were at the top of the food chain. But the Doug Flutie/BC "Hail Mary" game may be the most epic of them all.

In a very fitting piece of irony, their most notable department or curriculum is their "Flying High Circus".

Shout out to Ahmari Harvey. Had a really tough start to the game but had a very critical breakup of what should have been another UCF TD in the first half and the INT that sealed the game. As the say, DB's need to have very short memories.

For the first time in my life, I will be pulling for the team in Athens. I hope they beat the Noles by 50 points.

While I agree 100% with your first sentence, I also 100% disagree ith your second one. These jobs are not your $60 - 150k a year jobs where one has to consider all factors before saying "yes" or "no" - these jobs pay so well there are literally no downsides to taking them. I would have accepted...

Exactly. As long as my buddies were still there scratching and clawing and kicking and screaming, I stuck it out as well. It probably meant more to me at that stage of life not to be seen as a quitter amongst my friends than the actual piece of paper they gave me at the end. We probably weren't...

A "gift" or 'innate character trait" is the type of semantical splitting of hairs that I tend to avoid. I concur that the parents and family life can play a role in how much this trait (or any other) whithers or fluorishes. But the trait must be within the child. When I think back to the "1 in...

I loved this line..."instead of making excuses why NOT to do something, find excuses to DO it". I have managed more people than I care to try to remember and have taught hundreds of high school students in my second career. Sadly, most people are wired to look for excuses why they can't do...

While I am a big fan of the Gt education, the 'secret sauce" really is the discipline and hard work required to get the degree. I doubt we received any content that wasn't delivered at any other engineering school. I imagine playing FB AND getting an engineering degree no matter where or in what...

Agreed. I like first world problems Somehow, the staffs at OSU, Bama, Uga, tc. have managed to juggle these two priorities pretty well over the years. But if I were to prioritize one over the other, talent acquisition has greater significance than a December bowl game.

Congrats!!! From personal experience, my quality of life improved exponentially upon making that same transition. ETA: and it wasn't just the paycheck either! ;)

I have to say that this is what I enjoyed so much about the '90 team. Yeah, we had one of our best (if not THE best) Qb's ever and wide receivers galore and good TE's and great skill position players and all that sexy stuff but that OL was dominant to where 3rd and 5 was a very manageable...

Helpful hint...you think the guys running this place are amatuers? That may have been the case some 50,60 years ago. WTBS, you got ideas and want these guys to move on them? They will possibly but it takes much more than a request on the forum. You ever hear of PM's? Stuffed envelopes? Your...

I like that we are discussing rules like they actually matter or that there is a governing body out there that enforces them. We are the type that still hold doors open for the ladies and call them "ma'am" and talk about "getting out" while the rest of the world has moved on. I am reminded of...

I am speaking of Trevor Lawrence. I know he got drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars and has some modest/decent success to date. In college he was looked upon as being an Andrew Luck, John Elway or Peyton Manning generational type QB. Is he projecting out to be what everyone thought he was back...
