  1. It's also largely because they're the only one of the three offensive skill positions whose health isn't heavily protected by all the rule changes. They're either running with the ball or blocking most of the time. The defense is almost always allowed to hit them as hard as they can. QBs and WRs not so much (in the pocket or going across the middle to make a catch used to be kill shots in waiting).
  2. It removes a certain amount of officials' judgment from a scoring play and makes every field goal reviewable (because some ref would figure out a way to still screw it up). And you're apparently taking the suggestion way too seriously. It would be awesome to see in a secondary league for a while. But if you love field goals more than offensive plays I guess more power to you Mr. Erxleben.
  3. Not even close to every kick would get blocked. Would more get blocked? Sure. I don't see why that's inherently a bad thing.
  4. I wondered why they didn't do that back in the day when they were trying to make field goals more difficult by narrowing the goalposts. I think it would be awesome and the XFL or USFL or whatever leagues are around right now should figure out a way to do it obviously without permanently changing the posts at shared fields.
  5. Well nobody is saying that. Texas is in a position to say "look at what these guys who were rated similarly to you at the same position made in NIL at Texas." Saying what you're saying above is against the rules. Texas has no reason to cheat. Other than that, why exactly do you think only a specific subset (college athletes) of adult Americans shouldn't be able to earn money based on their fair market value?
  6. 15 years instead of 20 and it sounds like some Texas fans exactly 13 years ago next week after getting drilled at home.
  7. When you don't want to publicize that they're suspended, absolutely.
  8. Well it's a road game and this time the Big 12 crew has a Big 12 team to reap the benefits of their fuckery. If we win this game 34-21 as we adjust to life this season in this conference I'll be happy.
  9. You answered your own question. Wyoming is a better team than Boston College (admittedly not saying much but a 2 point win versus 21, too). Not many teams looked great this week.
  10. I've been evaluating him and I've determined he's a good runner.
  11. You didn't realize she was someone's daughter before he posted?
  12. Vanderbilt has a huge series lead against us and won the last matchup. That's about as relevant.
  13. It doesn't take that long to say that Gundy got high sniffing his own farts a while back and it's finally coming home to roost.
  14. Also, reading through the rest of the thread and some online comments about the missed field goal, the biggest issue seems to be that people don't understand that the entire ball must pass between the uprights if kicked over them. Essentially you can think of a plane that's between the uprights and above the crossbar extending infinitely high. The entire ball must pass through that plane for a successful field goal. If you kick it below the top of the uprights sometimes it bounces off of them through that plane. If you kick it above the uprights there's no chance of that, part of the ball simply passes outside of that plane so it's no good.
  15. None of those angles come close to showing that the field goal was "clearly" good to people who understand the very simple concept of perspective.
  16. Oh for fuck's sake he was postng it a million times waiting for some sucker to respond. Ignore his stupid ass.
  17. Announcers saying illegal pick when there wasn't a forward pass. Surprising because Riddick is really good.
  18. Appreciate Norvell getting us a win over OU that we shouldn't have gotten based on the two teams, but that decision to kick was horrific.
  19. Absolutely. Some of their coaches should have been figuring out that playcall as soon as they won the overtime coin toss.
  20. Rams have completely given this game away.
  21. So you are in favor of higher taxes?
  22. This is pretty much it. They had much better players than people thought. Five star culture was 100% bullshit the entire time, this video is just more proof that Campbell is not a good leader who would have any idea how to implement a superior culture. Obviously a lot of ISU fans bought into it because it made them feel morally superior by association.
  23. Good call by Fox to have Brando and Tillman call a prime time game. Finally an announcing crew so shitty that they distract from the shitty graphics.
