  1. Frustrating, because they've been able to move the ball on offense. Three sloppy turnovers gifted Notre Dame at least 14 points... The margin right now is 17.
  2. Down in the RGV, Weslaco Panthers lead PSJA 14-7. But more importantly, the Weslaco Softball team had a ceremony at halftime to receive their State Championship rings! (If y'all remember, the state championship game made national news after Weslaco won on a walk off grand slam)
  3. I was wearing a Longhorns cap while I was in St Louis on a work trip about this time last year. Went out in the Ballpark District one night and some fresh out of college drunk kid throws me the horns down. I give a little chuckle and ask where he went to school. "Michigan St" "Ok.... Then why are you throwing me horns down? Why do you even care?" "Uh, isn't that just what everyone does now?"
  4. Go Navy!! I agree, this sucks that it's at an NFL stadium. Playing this series home and home would be awesome for the students.
  5. Yeah..... We've got friends in Tuscaloosa who had a corporate tailgate. So we actually weren't planning on going into the game, we were just going to watch at the tailgate, but then decided to check prices at the last minute and got lucky
  6. I got into the game in Tuscaloosa, first row upper deck, for about $100 a ticket about 30 minutes before kickoff
  7. So this was the 🤫 from Blake that was on the football recruiting thread. Chances he makes it to campus?
  8. In this hypothetical, would the SEC runner up be in the playoffs if they have 3 losses (Notre Dame, Texas, Texas) and never played Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, or Tennessee? Their best win in that case would be...I guess Missouri or LSU depending on how they finish. There's absolutely a chance that the committee makes the argument that A&M only made it to the CCG because they avoided the top teams in the conference. Who gets in between let's say 2 loss Bama (Vandy, Tenn), 2 loss Georgia (Bama, Texas), 2 loss Ole Miss (UK, UGA), 1 loss Tenn (Ark), and 3 loss aggy? Plus a 1-loss ND (that beat aggy), potential 1-2 loss Big 10 runner up, potential 1 loss Big 12 runner up... Competition for that 11-12 seed (depending on G5 champion) is going to be crowded.
  9. Go Navy! There's a real chance that the AAC championship game could be Navy vs Army part 1 with a playoff spot on the line, followed by a rematch the next week for the traditional game.
  10. Haven't gone all the way through the thread yet, so don't know if this was already mentioned, but I watched at Little Woodrow's in Midtown last year and it was the Texas Ex watch party
  11. Thanks, I appreciate the strategy lesson. As much as I love watching volleyball, it's nice to understand what's actually happening and why
  12. Thanks for the great explanations. I didn't know about the overlap rule... That makes sense because I've always wondered how refs make a call that someone is out of rotation. So in a 6-2, the setter is in the back row. Say we receive. On the serve, I'm assuming, if we're in system, the setter moves to the front to receive the pass and then has the option of setting to 3 front row attackers and maybe 1 back row attacker. Once she sets, she moves back to the back row for defensive coverage? Another question, if you're running a 6-2, wouldn't the serving team try and target the back row setter on the serve and force the set to someone else?
  13. I might to drive up from San Diego for that Vegas tournament
  14. New to volleyball strategy here... Can you explain like I'm 5 the difference between a 5-2 and a 6-2?
  15. You know, a lot of people question whether or not this is just a feature, not a bug, of Ange ball. But if you look at the way we're giving up goals... Very rarely is it because we're caught too far up the field or out of position. Last year it was set pieces. This year, our defenders just have a tendency to turn their brains off and it's infuriating. They're in position, and then they just don't move. Romero ball watching against Vardy, long throw ins get in behind... Hell, on Brighton's third goal, both Cuti and Porro are right there and neither of them fucking move. They just fucking stand there and watch like they are Case McCoy or something. If our defenders could just focus and mark someone in front of them when the opponents have the ball in the final third, we'd be in the top 4.
  16. And I think we've all seen that Georgia players don't do well on roads....uh, I mean, on the road.
  17. San Benito is not good this year, even among RGV teams.
  18. "Except Texas" - Carl
  19. And here comes the Mo Bamba crowd hype!
  20. Vandy QB's older brothers
