  1. 2016 Penn State was pretty good. They had an argument, IMO, to get into the Playoff ahead of Ohio State. Ohio State got destroyed by Clemson that year.
  2. I like the Fox coverage, especially Klatt. I really used to hate Neuheisel because of Colorado and then his goddamn kid beating us and all. He's on the Dan Patrick show a couple of times a year and its true what they say, time heals all wounds. I like him now. He tells good stories and seems cool. He had a funny anecdote about Harbaugh beating him: I am pretty down on ESPN over the past few years, just across the board.
  3. To me the NFL player's union is just objectively terrible relative to the other unions. To the point where it seems like the owners run it. Why did they agree to slotted contracts based on draft round and position? 'Oh well it only applies to rookies and they have not put in their dues'. But then you peel the onion back and...the teams have a 5th year option for every 1st round player which is a hedge against having to pay them market value for another year when if a guy is good enough to pull that 5th year trigger the team has almost certainly already gotten the player for 4 years at below market value. Then if he's really good but they don't want him long term, bang franchise tag. Year 7 coming up? Still don't want to get married, bang franchise tag again! Player gets hurt...team cuts bait and now the player is gonna get on a vet minimum shit deal with someone willing to gamble on him and a positional need. They got so incredibly screwed in the last CBA with league...and they keep re-electing the same idiot who agreed to that deal.
  4. Why is it two CIS gender females? Transphobic much? Wont be watching. #NOTALLWOMYNHAVEVAGINAS
  5. I bought a PS4 Pro to play God of War. It was well worth it.
  6. Nice clean Fox highlights Sterns is going to be an all timer but man Brandon Jones has really come on this year as well. He slammed a dude to the turf with one arm (:37s) after his pick. Its not in these highlights, but he also popped the hell out of Turpin on a sideline catch.
  7. Cal is 3-0 with a win over 3-1 BYU. BYU is ranked 20. Cal is ranked...24.
  8. Yeah Gameday is there next week. Our game being on Fox kind of hurts us for RRS. They will go to places when they don't have the game but they look for excuses not to, it seems like.
  9. I think I am more surprised TCU did not make the cut.
  10. 18 in AP https://collegefootball.ap.org/poll
  11. On TFB someone said he got booted off his HS team...anyone have the story there? edit: Seems like a bad sign
  12. Definitely some parallels but one huge difference is that USC got choked out whereas ND took it to OT. -5 rushing yards on the game and USC shut out after the first frame. That's pretty stunning.
  13. Football is not going anywhere. Boxing is a thing. MMA is a thing. How would your argument apply to those sports? We should ban the closed fist and only allow slaps? But not to the head because of basic human decency?
  14. Yeah he did. His top speed is very high and he gets to it quickly. I think he's going to be a great NFL player.
  15. Desmond is definitely the worst of the talking heads they trot out. Rece Davis is not terrible but he's not Fowler. Fowler was great at his job. It really needs to go back to two hours but I guess that ship has sailed because money.
  16. I thought 'An Ohio State University' was the best sign.
  17. Does TCU have anyone that would get snaps over Porter? Doubtful.
  18. We need stickers on every helmet that declare them to be CTE free zones. Why hasn't anyone thought of this? Seriously though, the rule as it is written is terrible. Foster was supposed to have gone at his knees? Or just not hit him as hard? Or maybe just kind of catch the runner and hope he stops? It's not a safe sport to play. The targeting rule does not make it any measurably safer, it just makes pussies feel better about watching a violent game. Watch a guard's helmet on pretty much every snap. When are we banning line play because safety? Also why are boxing and MMA ok but football has to CHANGE OR DIE!?!?
  19. Fun fact this used to be Earl Campbell's favorite beer (probably still is). I used to be friendly with someone that worked for him and he kept a fridge almost full of this beer in his downtown Austin office.
  20. 11a/12p I will flip between Miss St-K State and UCLA-land thieves. 230p Georgia-South Carolina all the way. I think this will be a good game. 6/7p Will start off Clemson at aggie. I am shocked the line here is only 12, I'd have guessed it would be 20-20.5. Usually when I am shocked I am wrong though. No LHN for me so I need to find a stream for the Tulsa tune up. 945p Mich St-ASU. I think Mich St is over rated this year and this will be a good game because Pac-12 night games are generally competitive chaos.
  21. Man you are missing out. The first one is solid, it was great at the time. I skimmed through about half of it while waiting for 3 to come out. The second one holds up well even today, though its too long for me to replay. The third one...to me its easily the best videogame ever and its not particularly close. Unless you just completely hate the genre its worth buying a console to play, or better yet a gaming PC.
  22. Yeah I am looking forward to his show, he is my favorite comedian. I loved him on SNL's Weekend Update. He has a podcast series out there if you are into podcasts.
  23. I liked it a lot but I thought the last two seasons were a pretty big decline from the quality of the first five. I love me some Vic. Guy that plays Shane is pretty good in everything he does.
  24. Hozz

    Targeting

    Targeting as it is written is a terrible rule. Football is a violent sport played by males. Its players and fans understand this. Targeting is the rules equivalent of virtue signaling. The rule needs to be rewritten to take into account both intent and whether or not the ball carrier moves during or after the tackler has lowered himself for the hit.
  25. Louisville players been chirping too. Not sure WTF they are thinking.
