This. This COVID shit needs to be looked at again. Just like the new college overtime which also sucks with the alternating 2 pt conversions. That sucks. Want to make it better? Make OT no kicking. Boom. Better. No field goals in OT. Just TD’s and 2 pt conversions. That’s at least football. Not soccer penalty kicks BS. I was watching something that stuck with me the other day in which someone said it’s now (unlikely) possible for you to throw a perfect game a lose. 9 inning of perfect but game 0-0. You go out into the 10th. Deep fly ball to deep right center. Runner advances in tag up. Second batter deep fly ball to center. Tag up and score. And then you get 3rd out. you’re down 1-0. Your team does nothing and you lose. So no hits, no errors, no base runners outside of the free one…. And an L Theres something g fundamentally wrong with a set up that would allow this.

Texas Football 2025 Fall Camp - Kicking the Sonofabitch In
Red Five replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
Burton: We had some major questions going into the scrimmage yesterday. Some of them were answered: Back-up QB The role feels more and more like transfer Matthew Caldwell’s to lose. We’re told Caldwell looked more than serviceable again yesterday and even started with the second unit. Granted, Steve Sarkisian singled out KJ Lacey, too. The freshman engineered a two-minute drive for a score while working with the 1s. But the plan has always been to redshirt Lacey while letting Caldwell and Trey Owens fight over the back-up role. Tight end rotation Texas worked a lot in 12 personnel yesterday and the first two in the rotation were Jack Endries and Spencer Shannon. Jordan Washington has had a good training camp but Shannon has held Washington off to this point because of his skill and precision as an inline blocker. Secondary Texas seems pleased with the decision to try Michael Taaffe at nickel. That means Taaffe is likely the day-one nickel vs Ohio State, before a heavy situational rotation begins within the game. Likewise, the corner spot opposite Manny Muhammad seems headed to a stand-off of sorts. Both Jaylan Guilbeau and Kobe Black are likely to see starter reps. ** Other positional notes: Interior D-line rotation With Maraad Watson sidelined, the Texas DL rotation was reshaped some yesterday. Alex January played alongside Travis Shaw while Hero Kanu and Cole Brevard were paired together. Wide receiver rotation With Emmett Mosley V sidelined by injury, receivers other than Ryan Wingo, DeAndre Moore and Parker Livingstone must step up. Daylon McCutcheon has been circled as someone capable of doing that all the way back in spring. But more recently Sark has started to sing the praises of Kaliq Lockett, too. Lockett had a double-move on 4th down yesterday that drew high praise from the coaching staff. Aaron Butler did not receive as many opportunities yesterday as he did in the previous scrimmage. Running back Sark said it himself. He had planned all along to slow-play CJ Baxter’s return, to let him get acclimated to college ball and then push him along after Ohio State. But that thinking changed following last Saturday’s scrimmage and was further evidence enhanced by yesterday’s action. With Tre Wisner held out for part of practice, Baxter split some time with the 1st unit along with Christian Clark. Other backs eventually rotated in with that group as well. If Wisner and Baxter are 1a and 1b as Sark described them, then Clark is the clear no. 3. Offensive line What we learned on Saturday is that Texas is working Nick Brooks almost exclusively at right tackle currently. He made the move following Andre Cojoe’s season-ending injury. Brooks spent most of spring at left tackle. So perhaps this is Kyle Flood’s version of cross-training. Give the freshman heavy doses of both positions. Jaydon Chatman stepped in at left tackle for Trevor Goosby who was held out because of a hand injury. Chatman drew praise from Sark for his play. ** A couple more things: - I’m told that Arch Manning’s performance yesterday was much more “consistent”than a week ago. - Do not be surprised if freshmen Graceson Littleton and Kade Phillips are heavy rotational players in the secondary when SEC play begins. They’re “too talented not to”, according to a source. -
Well, you see, the defense was renowned for wearing black shirts under their uniforms. This gimmick is just the next logical step.

It's refreshing to see a traditional power like Nebraska focusing on what really matters. I mean, they have been awesome, especially since the move to the Big 10 with a combined record of 88-85. They've had one 10-win season in the Big, that was in 2012, the second year in the league. They started out with 9 wins, 10 wins and 9 wins and since it's been shit with two winning seasons in their last 10.

Theo Wease is his [guy] in that receiving corps. Both TDs went to him this week and I think that they linked up for a completion or two last week. -

sark's presser yesterday https://watch.longhornnetwork.com/video/844725 -
He explained the reasoning after transferring to BYU. “I used to play running back when I was younger … and when I made the transition to quarterback, I just kept the number,” said Bachmeier. “I don't know, I like the number and it kind of brings you back to your primitive nature when you're playing.”

Now that there’s the ability to not pitch to a guy / intentional walk with no pitches, you could even see a scenario where you have a 1 pitch inning if you walk the first guy and then get a triple play. Hell I guess that is also possible (highly fucking unlikely though) to do in a regular inning if you intentionally walk the first two batters and then get a triple play….

Troph, you’re a great contributor so you should give a MFng opinion. Hook’em!!! -
How can you not like a burly QB wearing #47? I look forward to seeing what the kid can do with BYU.

I'm sure Mr. Cowboy agrees. I've often wondered when the green hue was incorporated into their pants.
