  1. The problem is I think the rule is written so that in a passing position as soon as the ball is going forward in the hand it is considered already the beginning of a forward pass. As noted above, that wording doesn't make sense in reality because QBs can pump fake. The tuck rule is a very old example of the problem with the rule and it still hasn't been changed. Refs got this one right and they're not the ones responsible for writing the rules.
  2. I agree if the ball does not go forward. That's the real problem on this play. He has the ball and the ball goes backward.
  3. I was wrong when I called him average and overrated a couple of weeks ago. He's not average. Actually I should clarify here. I mean he's not average for elite level teams. He's definitely FBS average.
  4. 48 At the time it was the second highest home run launch angle Statcast had recorded I think
  5. This is the most meta post in the history of the internet.
  6. While you're almost certainly correct it should be noted that I "am part of" conversations on surly all the time where I have no fucking idea what lots of the posts say. I don't have an ignore list but I certainly scroll right past lots of posts by known morons.
  7. There was a moment I wondered if I was being too mean when I called him a moron. I'm an idiot.
  8. Oh God yes please. He and Charlie Strong might be 1a and 1b, the reader may decide the order, on the list of dumbest people ever associated with Florida football.
  9. What a shock. This dipshit who pretends to be neutral reads story after story after story of this administration being malevolent, corrupt, and idiotic and decides to pipe up when he can offer a weak defense of something they've done. Great performance, moron.
  10. When OU got called for holding Ethan Burke on Mateer's long scramble I had to chuckle. Everything we've said for decades was and is 100% true. They completely kicked our ass several times and proper officiating wouldn't have changed those outcomes. But enough of our games with them would have been majorly affected to matter. That hold was absolutely illegal, absolutely affected the play, and absolutely would not have been called in the Big 12 from 2008 onward.
  11. Lol comparing Arch Manning's play to Chris Simms. 25 years later and people are still morons about Simms.
  12. They should put Arthur Smith in charge again but only for one day when it's time to decide on picking up the team option.
  13. While you're correct that's been reported, it's a highly dubious stat. His runs on our first drive of the 3rd quarter: 2nd and 8, Wisner gains 4 yards before being touched, play goes for 7 (first guy takes him down immediately on contact but he was moving and falling forward - ankle tackle) 3rd and 1, Wisner gains 2 yards all before contact 1st and 10 at the 50, Wisner first touched 8 yards downfield, gains 9 2nd and 1, contact after 6, gains 9 1st and 10, contacted at LOS, gains 3 Total: 30 yards, 10 after contact I stopped there because the stat is obviously BS. The one long run where an OU DL got a hand on him but had no shot at actually making the tackle is doing a lot of lifting there.
  14. The town the distillery is in was 60/40 Trump and this guy owns the big business in town. Let's put it at 90% he voted for Trump. Wait, he also might work in private equity. Make that 95%. https://www.distilledspirits.org/craft_advisory/gareth-h-moore/
  15. Terry is certainly intriguing at RB. Have to imagine his pass protection is weak but with his skill set you handle that in the short term by having him as a check down option instead of blocking help if he's in on any pass plays. Let's hope we play well enough to do a much better job using this next 3 game stretch to get talented guys looks instead of doing shit like trying to make Stroh happen.
  16. Agreed but a lot of that seemed like decisions and footwork to me. Both of Muhammad's picks were thrown almost without looking and while turning or off the back foot. The kind of stuff he has always seemed to do against quality defenses.
  17. Yep Napier gone this Saturday evening makes complete sense. Penn State got the jump on Florida getting into the market and caught them by surprise. I imagine there have been conversations and plans discussed this entire week in Gainesville. And if that's what prompted it then I'm not sure a win over MSU changes anything. We might see a guy fired after a win.
  18. Obviously just a guess but I think when you look at the Florida game in total you have to put it on Sarkisian. Coming off a 3 week stretch against lesser opponents, offense looks uninspired along with the Stroh decision, defense plays its worst game in years, etc. That game just screams terrible preparation and mental approach and that's on the head coach.
  19. Mateer's mistakes were almost all mental. Only Littleton's pick was an off target throw to an open receiver and on that one his throwing form was terrible because of pressure from Moore on his right. The only one I think the hand might have actually impacted was the backward pass that Taafe almost recovered but was out of bounds. That was terrible. But even that one may have just been not wanting to lead his receiver into the crashing defender (Roberson).
  20. Yeah there was one short Wisner run on a 3rd and 1 early in the third quarter where he got hit and went down after a 2 yard gain but got the first down. Fowler (I think it was him) said there wasn't much push from the OL on the play and I thought to myself "3rd and 1 we moved the LOS 2 yards and past the line to gain. That was tremendous push for our OL this season." As many here have been saying we are just looking for competent play from this unit because that would be a big improvement. And that is what we got on Saturday.
  21. I mean we missed a touchdown on Saturday because he didn't get rid of the ball on time. He does genuinely need to improve how quickly he gets the ball out on quick hitters, anyone arguing that has no idea what they're looking at. But he is improving.
  22. Not counting kneeldowns, after the first quarter our drives were 12 plays, 75 yards 14 plays, 75 yards 13 plays, 65 yards 4 plays, 7 yards 7 plays, 42 yards That is 4 out of 5 drives executed very well against a very good Oklahoma defense. 50 plays for 264 yards at 5.3 yards per play doesn't jump off a stat sheet but against that defense it was pretty damn good, especially compared to how the offense had been performing.
  23. Wisner got hurt by a targeting hit from their #0 that wasn't even reviewed. Lowered his head and intentionally made forcible contact with the crown of his helmet right to Wisner's ribs. That's been illegal for at least 40 years, it used to be called spearing.
  24. Great move of course, but did Jones give him the silver? I was only 11 and don't remember if there were any controversial decisions before the final match or if Park earned the silver legitimately.
