2008 National Champ

I’ve told the story of how I was able to get premium seats the night before the 2017 game. It’s not uncommon for their to be bad turnouts in Los Angeles for either UCLA or USC. I’m not used to them having the tarps up but obviously they were prepared for it with the USC Logos.

I didn’t see that view. The view I saw was the Ute OLine getting blown up and Barnes having nowhere to go.

Bigger issue is why do you put RB1 in the slot, fake a jet sweep to RB1, and have your walk-on QB run the ball? If I need a yard, there’s one guy on that team I want to have the ball and he was a decoy. Just sayin’

They gave the explanation on the broadcast. The RB never had complete control. If a receiver catches the ball on the sidelines, he has to maintain control through contact with the ground.

On the play with SC’s RB, he tried to tuck it in but did not maintain control. I wanted it to be a fumble as much as anyone but it was the correct call.

not eligible for a medical until he’s exhausted his eligibility and to get it, he can’t play this year. Unless you think Rose is your starter in 2027, you either get him in the mix or move on from him for this year. If you aren’t going to play him, let him help out with scout team but no game reps.

navigate to your game and start at the top stream, usually “The Stream East”. If it starts buffering or locks up, I usually do Crack Streams next. Crack Streams will buffer occasionally so I just refresh and it works great.

No one should be ruled out of the QB pecking order this year. At least until someone proves they can handle all aspects of the job.

I’m not putting any credibility on Whitt’s pronouncements for the rest of this year. Fool me once, shame on me. Try to fool me for the 17th time?

When you’ve got 7, maybe 8 teams capable of being ranked this year and they all play each other it’s not really chaos. Someone has to lose those games.

That’s why I said before Oregon State that a Utah loss wouldn’t eliminate them from anything. The way things are shaping up, I don’t think a team will be eliminated from CCG contention until…[Read more]

He probably had at least 3 weeks of limited activity, but we saw Travis Hunter come back from the same type of injury in under a month.

I think it’s more a case of Whitt being Whitt. Tell everyone that an unhealthy QB will be back any second while acting like a healthy one won’t play at all.

last week?

Yep. Giving Oregon a second loss before next week would be very helpful, especially after Utah wins tonight

Those are my High School colors

It was until the refs got involved on that last drive. Took away a scoop and score for a phantom defensive holding, then called two more defensive penalties before the TD.

No Georgia, Miami plays Toledo and Clemson today

I sleep just fine. It helps knowing that absolutely nothing I do will affect the outcome

Ritchie played the first few games like he’d taken two years off. Played much better last week but that game was also pretty much over by the time he came in. I wouldn’t expect him to shiite the bed but playing at Bishop’s level right now is probably a little too much to ask.
