    Nomenclature in Football

    It seems like pushing the ball carrier was illegal until fairly recently. The first time I saw it done overtly I was shocked when the refs didn’t throw a flag and the announcers applauded the effort. On blocking technique I remember I started as a guard and there were very strick limits on...

    Nomenclature in Football

    Nose guard was the original term I heard for putting a defender over a center. I could be wrong but it seems like nose tackle came into play with the advent of 3 man front. Wrecker and Stinger were Carson era, right?

    Not the lowest. 2 or 3 otters were lower with the all time lowest being uga vs TCU. All time highest in BCS era were Texas vs USC and Ohio State vs Oregon. Two “grandaddy of them all” for rankings would be 1973 Notre Dame vs Alabama and 1969 Texas vs Arkansas, which I mentioned in my thread...

    Nomenclature in Football

    But forgot to ask about how you translate in your mind. When you see a wildcat do you think wing-T or whatever? When you see a hybrid safety/linebacker do you think rover? When you see a WR off the line of scrimmage do you see, depending on where they start, a flanker, slot back, motion man...

    Yep. In a 12 team playoff the chance of controversy are greatly reduced. If a 8-4 Mississippi State got in ahead of a 9-3 Ga Tech for the 12th spot the only people who would care would be Tech fans, and half of them would say we suck anyway. 🤣

    When the playoff was first proposed, the system that was proposed, and favored by many, was a six team playoff. The rules were straight forward. 4 conference champions are in with 2 highest ranked champions getting a bye. 2 highest ranked at large teams have a play-in game against the two...

    Nomenclature in Football

    I’m going to date myself big time now. I remember when offensive and defensive systems had a definite nomenclature and numbering system. Wide receivers were discreet categories identified as either a split end, tight end or flanker with numbers usually in the 80s except for the flanker who got...

    Consensus is building for a playoff that is fair and transparent. How or what or whether that will be is unknown but the way the system has played out the last few years has been a horror show unless you are uga, Alabama, Michigan and a few others. And lately uga isn’t even all that happy with...

    Except you, as well as another poster, keep saying things I never said, stretching the argument in torturous directions. But, I get it, you’re on board with the rich getting richer. That’s a legitimate point of view that I happen to disagree with. Sorry.

    Good metric. If you want to find out more check to see which is longer, index finger or ring finger. If they are equal in length that’s a whole new ballgame.

    Everything is sourced in Richland and the sugarcane is grown and ground there. The distilling and aging is in Brunswick. It’s a really cool building in downtown. May have started as a smaller operation in Richland? I don’t know. But it’s a definite farm to bottle operation that starts in...
