  1. Are you kidding? They won't miss Longstreet at all after flipping that incredibly underrated QB who's a diamond in the rough from Tulsa. WATCH. HIS. TAPE.
  2. Serious question -- What would the committee have done if Army had beaten Notre Dame?
  3. Here's what this guy... ...had to say about this potential matchup before it materialized:
  4. I'll say it: 2023 Oregon was better than 2024 Oregon is.
  5. Seats 15K.
  6. I've always thought that it's the most ironic thing ever that Kennedy got shot right in front of the Kennedy Memorial.
  7. Both of you assholes need to grow the fuck up and cut this shit out.
  8. When I was there, you were required to take one class on religion as part of the common core. I took Intro to the New Testament and figured it would be easy as hell given all the church I had been forced to attend growing up. I failed the first test and worked my ass off to pull a C IIRC. It was basically a history class disguised as a religion class.
  9. Seems like Ohio is a better job than Charlotte...
  10. Yesterday was a real bloodbath -- Ferris beat Harding 41-7, holding them to 130 rushing on 45 attempts. In D3, defending champ Cortland lost 40-28, and undefeated St John's (MN) lost 41-38. FCS went chalk. Semis in D2 and quarters in FCS and D3 this weekend. I'll again say that if the NCAA had any brains, they'd synch these playoffs up and play the championship games at the same site on the same weekend -- D3 on Friday night, then a D2/FCS day/night doubleheader on Saturday, all in Frisco. Sell a 3-game ticket for $50 and make it into a football festival.
  11. Come on, that's well over the line.
  12. You're probably not making a great point about being intellectually honest if you can't even spell intellectually.
  13. They typically only call that if contact is made with an official, even though the rulebook clearly does not require contact. I assume that the reason they don't call it more is because coaches don't want them calling it. Remember when they put the coaches' boxes on the court in basketball? A bunch of coaches got T'd up that first season and there was lots of complaining, and then the next year and since, it was hardly ever called.
  14. I'm OK with one if you get it back if the challenge is successful. Actually, I think the replay system should be coach-initiated and be dependent on the number of timeouts you have. So you start each half with 3 challenges/timeouts and if you make an unsuccessful challenge, you lose the TO. If the challenge is correct, no TO docked.
  15. They need to revamp the replay system, including allowing one coach's challenge each game for penalties, either called or uncalled.
  16. College basketball was my favorite sport when I was in HS. Now, I almost never watch college basketball because the officiating has ruined it. One of the top reasons was that officials could not call block/charge correctly and it encouraged teams to play defense by flopping (hey to Duke). Offensive holding is college football's block/charge call. I don't think any of the holding calls against Texas were incorrect calls yesterday, but they missed several holding calls against UGa. I've forgotten the exact details of Type 1 and Type 2 errors in scientific testing, but that's basically what I'm bitching about -- when they call holding, they're making correct calls, but they're not calling enough of the clear holds. If they can't do a better job, the first thing they need to do is make holding penalties only 5 yards. But, if you want to see the worst non-call of the weekend, though, take a look at Clemson's first TD: This is literally a junior-high-level missed call:
  17. He's right -- if SMU had scheduled Utah State instead of BYU, they would have already been in.
  18. Loooved this one!
  19. They had two linemen 4+ yards downfield.
  20. https://masseyratings.com/ranks?s=cf Sagarin also has Notre Dame #1.
