    Don’t forget the joke of a schedule they played that year.

    A lot of teams play shit schedules and knock out big scores against shit teams.

    That has nothing to do with be fact that if they’d have fielded an average offense they’d probably have beaten UL convincingly that night. 

    I don't think anyone is saying that they had a competent offense like they did under Spurrier. But that's THE offense they had that night, and that's what matters. Nothing else.

    Every team can say something to the effect of, "if we just had _________, our season would have been different, or we could have beaten ______ "

    Florida has had shit offenses for a while so it's not like just in that game their offense disappeared.

    Louisville’s offense had one drive that amounted to anything if I recall right. UF’s defense kicked their ass up and down the field and Bridgewater hit not a few miracle heaves to keep the chains moving at times. 

    Florida wins the game handily if they had even an average offense.  

    It's been about a decade since they have had an average offense so I don't think it can be marked down as an oddity.

    Yeah, that Sean Watson guy could really coordinate an offense.  Anyone know whatever happened to him after that?

    Well, they did score 30+ points seven times that year and finished with 11 wins and two losses. I'd take that, and so would you.

    I'd say it was more Teddy than Shawn, and yes, I know what has become of him since.

  4. #21 Louisville v #3 Florida

    Interesting game on ESPNClassic right now.

    Charlie Strong is at Louisville with Teddy Bridgewater at QB. Will Muschamp at Florida with Dan Quinn his DC. Louisville's offense was really fun that season. Florida's defense trying to punch them in the mouth and intimidate them, but Louisville is having none of it. Florida a 13.5 point favorite.

  5. On Sunday, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch released a statement slamming former FBI Director James Comey just hours before a blockbuster interview of him with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos is set to air.

    In a 330-plus word statement, Lynch highlighted what she claims are her career accomplishments before turning her attention to Comey’s upcoming interview. Addressing the issue of the criminal investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, Lynch wrote:

    Over almost two decades as a federal prosecutor I have aggressively prosecuted drug dealers, violent gangs, mobsters, and money launderers, upheld the civil rights of all Americans, and fought corruption of all types –– whether by elected officials from both sides of the aisle or within organizations like FIFA. Through it all I have never hesitated to make the hard decisions, guided by the Department of Justice’s core principles or integrity, independence and above all, always doing the right thing.

    The Justice Department’s handling of the Clinton email investigation under my leadership was no exception. It was led by a team of non-partisan career prosecutors whose integrity cannot be overstated and whom I trusted to assess the facts and make a recommendation – one that I ultimately accepted because I thought the evidence and law warranted it.

    Everyone who works for the Department of Justice has an obligation to protect the confidentiality and integrity of the work of the department. That is why, at the critical early stages of this case, I followed the departments long-standing policy of neither confirming nor denying the fact of an ongoing investigation. This policy both pre-dates my tenure in the Department and will live on long after the current debate is over. It neither misleads nor misinforms, but instead both protects investigations and guarantees equal treatment of those under scrutiny, whether well-known or unknown. Any suggestion that I invoked this bed rock policy for any other reason is simply false.

    Throughout the process I did what I always do: rise above politics and uphold the law. At no time did I ever discuss any aspect of the investigation with anyone from the Clinton campaign or the DNC.

    I have known James Comey almost 30 years. Throughout his time as Director we spoke regularly about some of the most sensitive issues in law enforcement and national security. If he had any concerns regarding the email investigation, classified or not, he had ample opportunities to raise them with me both privately and in meetings. He never did.

    Yeah, he's the only person in the league that does it. No one else. AT ALL.  

    lol

    I seem to have missed where someone said he was the only one. I thought since he was playing in the game for which this thread is named it seemed appropriate to mention.

    Lebron with his patented bulldoze into the defender move

    It's amazing that he doesn't get fouled out just with that. Well, not really amazing.

    Looks like I was a few minutes off.

    Indy just can't help themselves. How do you lose a 23pt lead?

    CLE will win by 2. They won't make the finals though.

    So, you are saying Bron Bron to Lakers in July?

    Assuming he passes the concussion protocol tomorrow, game 3 at the latest.

    Gotcha. I hadn't seen much angst about his absence and now that makes sense.

  10. It really is a lot more fun to watch this rather than just Mercedes, or any team, completely dominate. I root for Vettel and I am glad he is leading but it really is neat to see three teams in the mix. I'd like to see another couple teams in that mix as well.

    • Having become the first side to win back-to-back titles in the UEFA Champions League era last season, Real Madrid want to be the first club since Bayern (1974–76) to claim three successive European Cups. Ajax also won three in a row between 1971 and 1973, while Madrid hold the all-time record having won the first five finals.
    • Bayern v Real Madrid will meet for the 25th and 26th time in Europe, making it the most-played UEFA competition tie.
    • Liverpool will move ahead of Bayern and Barcelona to six European Cup titles with victory in Kyiv. Only AC Milan (7) and Real Madrid (12) have managed more.
    • Jupp Heynckes has a 100% record of reaching UEFA Champions League finals. In his three previous campaigns he triumphed with Real Madrid (1997/98) and Bayern (2012/13), also finishing runner-up with the Bavarians in 2011/12.
    • Roma aim to become the 23rd team to lift the European Cup, and the fourth from Italy.
