  1. I need to find it, but Bob mentioned it following either the Dolphins or Bills game when people were complaining about Parsons not getting any calls. He listed off like 5 different pass rushers and there were a surprisingly small numbers of holding calls that went in their favor over the time period examined.
  2. Holding calls aren't called as much as many would like to believe. I heard a stat the other day that TJ Watt has only had one holding call made for him in the last 2 and half years. Star pass rushers simply don't get holding called in their favor. If anything their effectiveness as pass rushers hurts them when it comes to getting holding calls in their favor.
  3. A lot is being made about the bolded point, but numerous former players have said that defensive players often ignore or miss the specifics of what the refs tell them in terms of ineligibility or eligibility of linemen prior to each play. This is just the sort of routine interaction that can get easily overlooked by players in the moment. So the idea that Campbell's attempt to fool them offered 0 benefit is wrong. They're not playing a sterile environment where hearing is at an optimum, and additionally, half of the players are just paying attention to who does and doesnt come on the field so there was obviously a purpose in Campbell attempting to cause confusion. He knows how little attention players typically pay to these sorts of machinations. He even went so far as to go over the mechanics of this with the refs prior to the game so that they would get it right, and this trash crew still got it wrong. All that being said, the tripping call was a 30 yard penalty that kept Detroit in the game just as much, if not more, than McCarthy's game management antics. So ultimately it all came out in the wash and the right team won in the end.
  4. This aint track or any other individual sport. He did everything he could've done in his first playoff game to beat Green Bay (301yds 3TDs) only to have the defense give it up in the end. This nonsense that wins and losses are only on the QB in arguably the most team dependent sport on the planet is idiotic. I realize that sports talk and debate shows have devolved into incessantly spouting this nonsense, but it doesn't make it true.
  5. OK, that's much better, but not sure Drew Allar is much of a running threat, at least not if the shifty variety. Kansas' offense is essentially a new aged option offense with great passing concepts mixed in. I havent been impressed with Drew Allar all season. He was clearly a 5 star based on his physical traits and not on his ability to play QB.
  6. What a second? Franklin looked at his troubled offense and thought to himself that Kentucky's offense was the answer.
  7. Nobody hates former Longhorn players like Longhorn "fans". Flipping burgers with a masters degree. Yeah, that's his only option.
  8. He's doing what he's doing on usage rate less than Jonathan Kuminga. Chet is literally only being held down by his own team.
  9. It's counter intuitive, but college ball is the more restrictive game in terms of movement and space. Zones and poorer shooting in the college game have the effect of a more restrictive game that prevents players from show casing their athleticism without racking up fouls.
  10. Broad empathy and understanding for some, broader skepticism for others.
  11. Oh yeah, I forgot you grew up in Plugerville so you know all about black people. Believe me Ive seen your insipid takes on black people over the years and held my tongue. But not today motherfucker, Ive got time. Bitchass mutherfucker.
  12. Nah Im calling you out on your bullshit. Especially when it comes to race. I dont give a fuck if Im the only one one here who calls you out on that bullshit.
  13. There's nothing more predictable than a white person claiming a black person in an authoritative position just so happens to hate or resent white people. It's a default setting for some, that or believing said black person is dumb.
  14. I live in Houston. What the hell do I have to do with the DFW scene?
  15. You've literally made the same post for 6 or 7 years now. The only new take is your Shaka hates white people, which you decided you unveil this year. Im in high anticipation of what new material you'll grace us with next year.
  16. You've said his name before. I'll let someone else go search for it, but I had no way of knowing who it was other than YOU saying it.
  17. You've said his name repeatedly before. Do you even keep up with all of your "Shaka is evil" takes?
  18. I guess Brock Cunningham, Dylan Osetkowski, Will Baker = one white guy. Not to mention the guys who turned him down. It's interesting to see the vulnerabilities and fragility that comes into play when some white people deal with a black person in authority. Suddenly the paranoia about said black person's actions relative to race come under close scrutiny. It's probably akin to the same sort of psychological mechanism that causes some white people to comment repeatedly and take notice when they're the only white person in a room.
  19. "Oh no, people don't realize Shaka is the devil. Well I've got news for them. He plays mental games with is players, and he told reporters Demarcus Hollands grandmother died and he hates white people. That should do it. Now they'll know what type of devil we were dealing with."
  20. In my eyes this sort of thinking is wrong headed. Part of the problem is college football is trying to serve 2 masters at once. On one hand they want to hold on to all the collegial and amateurism of yester year while simultaneously attempting to make every single dollar available to them under the sun. You simply cant do both without causing issues in the sport. If you want to limit player movement you're going to have to put them under contracts and make them employees. You can't restrict player movement without having contracts. The NCAA has lost every case recently where this issue was in contention. Another problem with college football is they need to get away from the decentralized organizing forces of the sport. It needs to be governed under a single set of rules and have someone, or some committee looking out for a the greater good of the sport as whole as opposed to conference entities working as competitors sabotaging each other at every turn in an effort to gain more power. You simply can't reap billions of dollars on one end and then on the other end pretend this isn't a big business and the players aren't due any of that largess. That sort of cognitive dissonance doesn't work anymore.
  21. Oh he definitely did, but his early foul trouble really exacerbated things for him. Honestly we should've been a team he matched up well against. We're not overly athletic in the frontcourt outside of Mitchel, so he shouldve been able to stay on the court. He's a player who needs tremendous guard play to bring out the best him, something LSU has none of.
  22. Not only should Weaver get Horton's minutes, but if Horton is out there then Weaver has to be out there as well.
  23. The problem is who we play Horton alongside of. We cant have him, Abmas, and Hunter on the court at the same time. That just makes your backcourt absolutely atrocious defensively. Hunter isn't a bad defender, but often times when playing alongside Abmas and Horton he's guarding the biggest wing and that diminishes his defensive strengths.
  24. He has to force in the letters S-E-C into every utterance out of his mouth. I didn't realize ESPN's brand management work for the SEC extended into other sports outside of football.
