2017-2018 College Football Thread

Happy Bahamas Bowl Day! UAB in a bowl for their first year back is mildly interesting.
And they’re getting hammered 27-3 at the half and look like they have no business being on the field.

2017-2018 College Football Thread

I’m more of a wait-and-see when it comes to recruiting. Just because you can dominate a schedule of AA class football in HS doesn’t mean anything when you get into the Big Ten, SEC, etc. So yippee, PSU is ranked 4th/5th whatever and Georgia is 1. Doesn’t mean anything if it doesn’t translate on the ...

Don't look now, but the Flyers are now on a 6 game winning streak. Right on the heels of their 10 game losing streak.
Another feather in your cap, sir.

Looks like we already have one skate on the plane. Might as well not even come out for the 3rd period.

Attaway, Whipping Boy....throw a crappy pass that leads to the puck leaving the zone and then you can't keep your stick to yourself and cause the trip to kill the PP.

Holy hell, what is going on out there in our zone?? A 3 on 0?? The 1st line re-enacting the old 90s Keystone Kops defense routine?

For the goalies in the crowd -- does Murray get beat so much high glove because he keeps his glove too low? On that last shot that clanged the post, his glove looks lower than I see most goalies keep it.

1A -- all scoring plays are reviewed so since the on-the-field call was a touchdown, it goes to automatic review.

It's a stupid rule, I've said it at least 3 times within this thread. But the official in me has always been trained to go by how a rule is written regardless whether I like it or not. This rule sucks but it was applied correctly. And if you listen to Mike Pereira's interview on Dan Patrick this mor...

If I'm a defensive coordinator, I'm stacking the box against Fournette and I'm daring Bortles to beat me. I don't think much of his ability against decent teams if he doesn't have his 2 best receivers (and Marquise Lee went hobbling off today). Of course, if their defense starts scoring like they di...

Haven't seen the JJ play in question, but can someone explain the ratonale of having different requurements for a completion in or entering the endzone vs wholly on the field of play?

Meh. It wasn’t a TD per the rules. That’s your problem, if you couldn’t see that. Catch by the rules. Sorry you can’t see it, must be your problem.

It's insanely frustrating knowing that we're the Caps in the Steelers/Pats "rivalry."
