Week 9 Games Discussion

You’re off my Christmas Card List Systems_ID
:lol: I missed this.

Sorry man, I’ve been burned by UGA too many times. Their defense looks amazing like I said but we’ve seen offenses torch amazing defenses before and the offense looks so pedestrian at times it’s worrisome.

Maybe this is what it feels like to be a UGA fan.

Religious argument removed from game thread

what kind of a supreme being steps in and helps decide who wins and who loses in football games?
What kind of supreme being lets people post their religious beliefs in a game thread? Not this one, that's for damned sure.

If you enjoy living in this universe, please follow the rules.

Little Brother

Youngest of 17 so I think the 'younger brother' was just awesome
9 girls, 8 boys.. in a very aggressive household with way too many alphas

Terrorized the neighborhood as a result of being 0-114 fights inside the house
maybe 1-113... was getting hammered by older bro.. threw hot coffee in his face
when he grabbed his face I hit him with a shot with everything I had... and ran like hell

Week 8 Games Discussion

Watching another game from last week between two bad teams, NC State and Cryami.

NC St got the ball near midfield, down by 1 with about 3 and a half minutes left. They threw the bomb, incomplete, on first down, then failed to get a first down and turned it over on downs. Even if the bomb had worked, they would have taken the lead too soon.

So then Miami converts a first down with a running clock and 2:32 to play with NC St out of timeouts. They snap it under 2 minutes and hand the ball off on a running play, risking a fumble. After that, they took two knees to end the game. But for over 30 seconds after they got the first down, Manny Diaz didn’t realize that he could take a knee on all 3 downs to end the game. WTF was he thinking about while the clock ran, his postgame press conference or late-night dinner? He’s in his third year as a head coach and making over $3 million a year, and it takes him over 30 seconds to realize he can kill the clock with kneel-downs?

Earlier in the 4th quarter Cryami had run into the FG kicker on a miss, allowing NC St to get 3 points on the second attempt. But that was just returning the favor, since earlier in the game NC St had jumped offside before Cryami snapped a FG attempt, which led to a TD instead of a FG.

A few examples of how not to win, from a couple of ACC coaches. Doeren is in his 9th year, also making over $3 million.

Trabis Ward (Tennessee State signee)

Nice tribute, that most didn't catch( I know I didn't)

This intro created quite the controversy on Twitter. While some people believe Adams has earned the right to call himself the best, what with an All-Pro selection in 2019, three Pro Bowl nods, and a four-year, $70 million extension signed this offseason, others found it cringeworthy that someone whose PFF rank — which places him 62nd of 85 qualified NFL safeties — would think so highly of himself. Even if Adams were ranked at the top, his egotistical utterance would just be viewed as cocky, boisterous, and narcissistic by a handful of NFL fans. However, Adams wasn’t calling himself the best in the nation on Sunday night. He was paying tribute to Trabis Ward.

Ward died on October 10, 2020 — almost exactly one year prior to the October 17 Seahawks-Steelers game — as a result of a shooting in Lauderdale Lakes. Ward was 31 years old and a father of three.

MO WR Luther Burden (Oklahoma Decommit; Missouri Verbal)

Haven't seen too many recruits that decide based on in season success, unless that program was really struggling in the past. Especially since you're on top of the heap right now.

Some get caught up in the moment of one big atmosphere, but that seems to pay more dividends with the younger ones than the guys in their final months before enrolling.

What is he waiting to see?


Not sure he's taken an OV yet. He's been for the Gameday atmosphere and I believe he caught the Arkansas game and sat with his family in the recruit section.

Georgia has had my attention from the beginning, and nothing ever changed, but my love for Georgia now is stronger than ever. Even when I was committed to USC, Georgia never fully left my mind. I loved USC, and I liked them a lot, but Georgia was always there. They never went away. ... My love for Georgia is stronger now. I am locked in with Georgia."
