Lmaooo Riley burning those TOs

Trying to ice a kicker at the end of the first half is so stupid. It's not exactly a high pressure situation.

The UT kicker literally kicked the same kick twice. His kick that counted looked like the kick he made after the time out.

Amazing it's only 10-3.

No, but you can’t keep them and it’s petty AF....which is the point. Keep up.

I understand using the first two timeouts to "icing" because the kicker doesn't know if he's going to have to kick or not. But using the third one makes no sense to me because after that the kicker knows that he's kicking.

It's not petty. It's pointless.

 

[Palpie]

There just one man that can save ilolinois.

Just kidding it's this man, tan rested and ready

It's not petty. It's pointless.

technically, so is yelling "Noonan!" but it doesn't stop me from doing it

 

[Palpie]

Also, holy shit is tech aweful.

3 yd loss on 4th and 2 from our own 35.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Just flipped over to UGA game and if my eyes aren't deceiving me, USCe is Daveing them to death

 

[Jaxbuck]

SEC refs are on this, UGA isn't going to lose

In a normal ice-the-kicker situation at the end of the game I totally agree. After that last timeout is called, the kicker knows 'this is it.' By saving the last timeout he doesn't know until the ball is snapped if this is it or not.

But the whole idea of icing the kicker is to give him time to let the pressure get to him. It's for when a kicker absolutely has to make the kick or his team loses the game. He's a hero if he makes it, he's a goat if he misses. If he misses the kick at the end of the first half? Big fucking deal. I mean, you want to make it but you're not going to lose any sleep over it if you miss. The pressure isn't there to make icing the kicker have any effect in that situation. It's a waste of time.

 

[Wells4Heisman]

Not overly impressed with anything from UGA this season, good team but I dont see them beating Nicki Satan

 

[Jaxbuck]

blatant hold on UGA OL buys Fromm an extra second to get rid of the ball

no call

 

[Jagdaddy]

Think UT-OU will have a lot more scoring in the 2d half.

If there is even a 1% chance that it throws the kicker off it's worth doing because your 1st half time outs are worthless when the clock expires.
