2024 Random Games thread
Cal blew the game, no doubt. Total meltdown. But there is no reasonable explanation for missing that targeting call. It is exactly the kind of hit the needs to be taken out of the game of football. There are so many crappy targeting calls - many of which that are upheld - and here we have one that exemplifies why we have the rule and the ACC refs just decide to look the other way. Undermines faith in the fairness and integrity of the game. It wasn't just a bad call.

ACC isn't even trying to hide it at this point. Miami isn't even good enough to be pulling out all the ref stops for.

2025 NFL Draft
The covid year just means it doesn't count against your eligibility - it doesn't count either as a redshirt or as a year of eligibility. The baseline eligibility rules are the same - 5 years to use 4 years of eligibility (with certain exceptions for a medical redshirt - no applicable for Majors). Covid year just means that year did not count for anybody for any purpose (doesn't count against one of the 4 years of playing and doesn't count as a redshirt year). Majors "redshirted" in 2020 in the sense that he did not play. Because 2020 was the covid year, that "redshirt" year did not count against him, so he retained his redshirt year. He just ended up not using it. Had Majors played in 2020 and sat out any of 2021, 2022, 2023, or 2024, then the year he played in 2020 would not count (covid year) and he'd be eligible to play next year. But that isn't what happened, so he's out of eligibility after this season.

2025 NFL Draft
I don't think that is true. Majors enrolled for the 2020 Covid season. That does not count against his eligibility. He started/played in more than 4 games in 2021, 2022, 2023, and now 2024. If he redshirted this year he could have come back next year, but having already played 4 games he has exhausted his eligibility.

2023 DL Sydir Mitchell
he was walked off the field by an equipment guy (I think), similar to when someone gets ejected for targeting (or whatever).

Texas opens as a 48 point favorite v Louisiana Monroe
My guess is that Vegas thinks ULM won't be able to sustain drives and score much. That, combined with the fact that Texas is likely to air it out because 1) getting Arch live reps and 2) lessen the burden on the decimated RB room. If ULM can't rush the passer, Texas with all the WR talent will score quickly and often.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
believe it or not, there are plusses to actually developing your own guys. Buy in is higher. You learn their personalities, what makes them tick, what motivates them. There is a bigger opportunity to establish trust between player and coaches and player to play. If you believe in your culture, it is best to get the raw prospect used to doing things your way to maximize. Transfers are great for plugging holes, but there is still room for taking some targeted, high upside developmental takes.

these are two poorly coached teams.- Brian Kelly LSU Football: Corndogs, Corruption, and Cameramen (dead)
That offensive pass interference call was truly baffling.- Gunnar Helm
Tons of credit to Helm, obviously, but it is sooooo nice to have a staff that actually develops talent. That developmental piece is so easy to take for granted, but Banks has done a great job in the TE room. Helm bought in, worked his craft and had patience an it is now paying off. Great sign of a healthy program.- Tell Me About Michigan
This more or less sums up my perspective. The invasion of personal space was odd - I had several encounters where Michigan fans felt free to do the horns down thing inches from my middle schooler's face. To his credit, he handled it well and figured out sign stealing quips landed well. Post game was nice - to their credit, most fans were not like their QB and respected that they got their asses kicked. They seemed to still be in the post championship bliss. I mostly told well wishers that I hope they beat USC and OSU. I am undecided about OSU next year. I am very curious about A&M and Arkansas this year.- Texas vs. Michigan - 11am on Fox

I wonder if they might have some revised takes? Garbage in, garbage out. Those fanboy takes dressed up with the pretense of objective analysis were always a joke.- Colorado @ Nebraska; 630 NBC
I think there is at least a 60% chance Colorado has an intrasquad brawl before this game is over.- Week 2, 2024: Texas at Michigan
This x1000. The NYC/Long Island strain of Michigan grad is particularly loathsome.- 2024 Texas High School Football
don't forget the targeting call on Westwood that bailed out Austin High from a 3rd and 15 on that last drive. What a crazy game! I'm impressed with their resiliency and mental toughness.- Week 2, 2024: Texas at Michigan

Am I reading the chart correctly, such that Banks is not All American caliber (Ewers too, for that matter), but lists Johnson and Graham (no quarrel with those two as AA caliber)? It is hard for me to take seriously any breakdown that doesn't classify Banks as AA caliber.- [Adjacent to Gameday] Texas @ The Big House - A Blue Blood Party by Surly Horns
I think it spans the upper parts of 15-17. I can say that mine are in 15.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out

This is so awesome. I won't be able to join before the game, but hope to swing by to say hello (and hopefully celebrate) afterward.- Caitlin Clark …. Seriously
this is hilarious:- Week 2, 2024: Texas at Michigan
Texas was #2 in the nation last year in 3rd down defense, allowing opponents to convert 26% of the time. - Brian Kelly LSU Football: Corndogs, Corruption, and Cameramen (dead)
