  1. Yeah, I have no problem with the decision to go for it since the ball was inside the 1, but the playcall was galactically dumb.
  2. Had three big D-linemen lined up 0 and 1, and you still run that fucking call. Unfuckingbelievable.
  3. Just a stupid fucking playcall.
  4. I'll say it right now. If we don't score on this third down play, Sark needs to take the points unless the 4th down snap is from inside the 1 yard line. Hopefully the O makes it a moot point and scores on the next play. I like the free timeout.
  5. I'm no QB coach, but Arch isn't stepping into his throws even when he has time/room to do so. It's all arm with him right now.
  6. No two ways about it, Sayin has outplayed Arch in the first half. Probably the difference at this point, along with the penalties on the TD drive.
  7. It was Hill. Lefau had to scrape over the top and was outleveraged -- couldn't square up
  8. LOL at some of you saying we're done if we don't score on this next drive. It's the second fucking quarter.
  9. Fucccccckkkk. Penalties really hurt on that drive.
  10. I do not agree with this strategy.
  11. Not surprised at all. Two young QBs. Two very good defenses.
  12. I like the decision to pass on first down, Sark, but make it a tunnel screen or screen, or something that will result in an easy completion and get some tempo going.
  13. Lefau and Burke are playing really well so far.
  14. The bounced throw to Moore and the misread on 4th down on the first drive were signs of tightness. But his decision to check down on that third down play on the second drive was the right decision. He'll be fine, I think.
  15. Bad read by Arch there. Clearly an RPO, had the TE wide open. Should have kept and either picked it up himself or hit the TE. Easy first down was available. Arch was a definite mixed bag on that first drive. Let's hope he settles down.
  16. I don't care for either program, but I'm kinda hoping Miami wins simply because it will motivate ND all the more two weeks later when they host aggy. The Irish know they will have no shot at a playoff spot if they lose both games.
  17. I think the problem as far as DeVitto, Javors, and Stegmeyer (sounds like a law firm name) were concerned was the manner in which it went down. On the Hired Gun documentary, Javors says that he learned he was out from hearing a report on the radio in his car while he was driving around. Presumably, Stegmeyer found out in similar fashion. DeVitto (who continued to work with Joel for several more years) said on HG that he found out he had been ousted when he went to board the plane during a break in the tour (the band was apparently flying back to NY to spend Easter with their families) and was told there was no room for him. Obviously, HG only presented their side of the story, but if what Javors and DeVitto said in the documentary is even partially true, that's a pretty shitty way to treat members of the band that have been playing with you for years. At least have the courtesy (and the balls) to tell them face-to-face when they're being given the chop. I'd be interested to know if Joel has ever commented publicly on the claims that he basically didn't have the balls to tell those guys that they were out. If he has, I've never seen it, but it would be nice to get the other side of the story so to speak. FWIW, DeVitto came across as the opposite of embittered on the HG documentary. Says he would be more than happy to work with Joel again, wishes him well, etc. He also acknowledged that it was BJ who was writing the songs and whose name was on the albums (although it's apparent that the band members helped massage the songs into their final forms). BJ, of course, did not come off so well in Hired Gun.
  18. I always enjoy seeing trash programs get embarrassed. Grant Union (Sacramento, CA) players and coaches tried to start shit during warmups with Folsom, which is QB'ed by a kid who's a 5* and headed to BYU. Folsom also has a WR who will play at Ole Miss. Why nobody was tossed for the pregame shenanigans is a bit of a mystery to me. #9 for Grant Union is a clown in particular. And, of course, Grant also pulled some dirty shit during the game. It didn't end well for Grant Union -- 51-13. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1399640481097856 There's a pretty good Youtube video about the game as well.
  19. The Kirkland 12YO barrel aged is pretty good for the $, IMO. Wouldn't pay $40 for it (there are better rums at or below that price), but $20? Yes.
  20. Currently as low as $162 on Amazon. Knivesshipfree has the orange mini for $170. Still not cheap, but better than $200.
