i haven't had a chance to rewatch but Im interested to see the play where marshall trotted off with his arm dangling. Almost as if the ghost of Ransom was back cracking skulls

As he's jogging off letting his arm dangle, the announcing crew is touting his toughness :lol:

Worst rule in all sports

Reach the ball across the 42 yard line and pull back to the 45.... who has a 6-foot-long arm? Yikes!


If you want to make the rule that any fumble that the offense recovers (or goes out of bounds), and it goes forwards, the ball goes back to the spot of the fumble, I'll vote for it. Not that I have a vote. Fumble in your own endzone and your lineman falls on it at the 2? Safety. I like that rule.

Like tsun after Rich Rod.

The fat garbage man said he'd walk to AA from San Diego for the job and just like that, he was hired.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

An update after the late games on Saturday.

8 teams are locked in.

tOSU and Indiana, winner obviously the #1 seed
Oregon, Ole Miss, aTm, and Oklahoma, all done playing
UGA and Texas Tech, both in top-4 now and are in even if they lose their CCG

2 more spots have to go to the the highest ranked winners of these 3 CCGs: ACC (UVA/Duke), AAC (N. Texas at Tulane), and Sun Belt (Troy at James Madison). So if Duke and James Madison both win, the ACC will likely get ZERO teams in.

That’s 10 spots, leaving 2 spots for these teams:

Bama - beat UGA in the CCG and it’s an auto-bid. Lose and it’s a debate/beauty/brand name contest
BYU - beat Texas Tech in the CCG and it’s an auto-bid and the Big-12 gets 2 teams. Lose and they’ll get dumped for losing the extra game, which is the same reason that Bama won’t be dumped
ND - I think they need a BYU loss, else their fans will scream about the lower ranked CCG winners getting it (you hate to see it)
Miami - they need BYU to lose and the head-to-head argument with ND to be a key factor

Vandy and Texas won‘t be in the top-10 and won’t have a chance.

I‘m rooting big-time for Duke, BYU, and James Madison so the ACC/ND semi-marriage gets completely left out.

A JMU win is almost a certainty

Duke is a legit coin flip but their defense is going to have a problem stopping UVA.

BYU is going to need some serious magic underwear help. They got worked by TT not all that long ago and the styles just don't line up right for them.

I feel like Brian Kelly would be the best option for a program that is cool with a coach that hurts/kills kids. That being said how much would you have to get paid to coach someplace that you've been trained to hate for 20+ years. If/when Hartline leaves, I think it will be out of the Big 10. ACC or Big 12 would be the best option to get an easier path to the CFP.

Interesting. So how does the offense recover and not get a safety? Do they have to pick the ball up, run back to the end zone and then carry it out again? Do they have to grab the ball and advance it at least (insert distance here)?

1. Once it's a touchdown, the play is over. That's why you can pull the ball back and it's still a touchdown.
So, I guess in that aspect, the goal line is different from any other line on the field. The play isn't over if you reach over the 43. The play isn't over if you reach over the line to gain. The play IS over if you reach over the goal line.
The play isn't over if you fumble into the endzone.

I guess I should have said the end zone is treated differently than the rest of the field of play.
and not just on fumbles.

a kickoff goes out of bounds at the 1/2" line and it's a penalty.
a kickoff hits the pylon, it's a touchback.

I was thinking of a play Drew Brees did often with the Saints in goal line situations.
Takes the snap jumps up a stretches forward, ball crosses goal line, then he pulls it back and tuck as he's getting hit.

Result of play is a TD, but he and the ball are well behind the line before he really gets hit and goes down.

reach ball across the goal line, then pull ball bak = TD
reach ball across the 43 yd line then pull back to the 45 = ball on the 45.

SEC (It just means more.. even its losses are wins)

16 with no byes and a first-round game at home would be great. I'd love to tune up a mid SEC team in the Shoe every December.

I have no hope of them doing what I think would make sense. The playoffs will never get smaller, there’s too much TV money.

But I would go to 14, with the 2 highest ranked CCG winners getting a first round bye. Because the CCGs should mean something, and right now they mean a lot less than they used to.

The Buckeyes and Indiana are about to face off in only the 3rd ever B1G matchup between #1 and #2. The first was Iowa over TTUN in 1985 and the other was The Game in 2006. But the loser in Indy this week will still be looking at getting a top-4 seed and a CFP bye. So yeah, a conference title is fine, but the playoffs are far more important.

But if the only 2 byes went to CCG winners, the Conference Championship Games would retain a great deal of importance.

Lane Kiffin (HC LSU)

serious question:
Why is Lane the only coach getting hammered for leaving to go to a better gig?
Click to expand...
I have thoroughly enjoyed the Lane saga, and most of this is just what happens when signing day is the week after the regular season ends and LSU need to get the players for next year.

The message below is really the only thing I’d hammer him about. The players worked their ass off and Lane is trying to keep the entire offensive staff from coaching them in the playoffs. I get the Lane wanted to coach the playoffs and the school said no, but his ‘getting back at the school’ with the ultimatum to the coaches is real shitty to the players. He’s showing us right now that it’s all about Lane, not the school, not the players. He wants to leave ole miss as a pile of ashes (which I personally this is hilarious).

Login to view embedded media It’s alright in fans eyes(well not Ole Miss fans) when coaches leave teams before the season ends, and they don’t have employment windows. But fans would be up in arms if a player stopped playing before the season ended and they need a Portal window… got it
