What was the question?

Why are Alabama's socks more padded than Ohio State's? Thus giving Alabama the decisive schematic advantage.

So has a team ever won a game by only kicking field goals while...

On a completely unrelated subject: Holy fuck! The entire UCLA/Stanford game seems to be composed of targeting calls. I've lost count.

Then again, all the targeting calls from today are starting to run together in my addled mind.

It doesn't help that Rod Franklin, or whatever the hell his name is, is running his mouth about "targeting being the most hated rule in college football".

Most hated? Hardly. Most inconsistently called penalty? Abso-fucking-lutely.

How many fans will be driven to alcoholism because of Urban Meyer? The man must be stopped!

 

[HorseshoeFetish]

Well shit I guess I should go to bed now. This was fun. I hope we beat Rutgers by 132 points next week.

Oh, I dunno. I kinda hate it.

Understand the rationale for it. Still get sick of hearing it called.

You're fucking on to something! Never ending treadmills, making Alabama's cardio 100x better.

You think he'll work for Uber after being fired for his spotty performance as our coach? I bet the percentage would go way up if he did.

You've gotten several answers, whether you choose to comprehend those answers isn't my fucking problem. But this constant harping on the same subject for 5 straight pages has gotten really fucking old.

Been a few answers of either "because Saban" and the rest Is "Jesus drop it"... I legit was asking a question and you are too God damned biased to give a good answer.

I'm not even asking to complain.. I just wonder why that's all.

What the hell, why was Texas on bye? I never knew I could get so much joy out of former offensive coordinators failing so miserably.

...that's in reference to Beck, not Herman.

Meh. He'd merely be the third best Uber driver in the country behind Saban and Dabo.

I don't hate it, because there's a definite need for it in college football. Too many poor tackling techniques for it not to be implemented. I'm more bothered by the refs who are so eager to call it when a player vaguely leads with his helmet. Perfect example: Bosa against Notre Dame. There was one tonight in the UCLA-Stanford game. Need more consistency across the board among referees in every conference.

Because nobody else had room on their schedule to beat them this week?

How can they do better? Do they get better cars? What's the secret?

Resting up for Oklahoma.
