    This escalated quickly.

    So far, so Hornibrook:
  3. homer
    Two drives that quarter. Crazy.

    I get frustrated on some of these 2nd and 2, 3rd and 2 calls where Taylor goes up the middle and it looks totally telegraphed BUT I have a feeling with a 17 point lead Chryst won't reveal anything interesting to future opponents (ahem! Ohio St). He'll pull out the naked bootleg later on.
  5. homer
    Finally! A jet sweep!

    I like seeing them go for it on 4th. Chryst has been really conservative in that regard in the past. Totally, I hate punting from inside the 40 college or pros. If it wasn't clear I was referring to the 8/8 or whatever with my insane comment. Yep, I got it

    They're up three scores at the half... I think the game plan is working just fine, personally. They did throw on 1st down. First play on offense.

    Thats a TD
  10. homer
    I really wish they'd run a jet sweep. Just one.

    He basically gave MSU credit for a holding call on UW and a dropped snap.

    Matt Millen....still an awful broadcaster.
  13. homer
    I think it's one thing to do it when you have a great defense and are confident they'll get the ball back but most Packer defenses under McCarthy were bad. It was pretty dumb most of the time.

    Is it too soon to get a little excited about the Dragan Bender signing?

    Also, Molina had a bat flip to end all bat flips. Moron. https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/10/nlds-cardinals-braves-yadier-molina-epic-bat-flip

    Well you need it to run the kicker out, or if you get tackled in bounds, or on a sack. I have wondered about the "value" of a timeout. Is it better to have 1 min and a timeout or 1:15 (or 1:30) and no timeouts? Or, if you have a 2nd and short in the 3rd quarter and the play clock is winding down, is it better to take the delay of game penalty or the timeout? In the 2nd scenario my gut tells me that taking the penalty is the better option simply because the timeout is conventional wisdom which usually flies in the face of the math. here is a big math-heavy article about the topic: http://archive.advancedfootballanalytics.com/2014/01/the-value-of-timeout-first-approximation.html And here is an article that is a little easier for the layperson to digest (think this one deals specifically with the timeout instead of delay of game penalty): https://www.allmysportsteamssuck.com/2015/11/27/dont-waste-a-time-out-to-save-a-delay-of-game-in-the-2nd-half/ "The biggest takeaways for me are that in general, you should always call a timeout when in FG range on 2nd or 3rd down, but on first down the 5 yard deficit is easily overcome. Also, that inside of 10 yards on 2nd or 3rd down you should call a timeout in the 4th quarter for practically the entire length of the field. Certainly not what I expected."

    This is why I have no sympathy for the NCAA when it comes to players being paid. The NCAA simply does not care about the athletes anymore. Yeah the term student-athlete shouldn't really be used anymore. Just call it what it is for the big time revenue-producing sports.

    It exists as entertainment, but major league teams don't have to stock those teams with players. When 80+ percent of draftees don't ever spend a day in MLB, what is the justification for MLB teams drafting and signing them? What other business hires and pays hundreds of people knowing that most of them will provide them with no financial value in return? And the question really is, are those hundreds of players really best served by sending them to remote outposts with minimal coaching, and having them play hundreds of games? Or is there a better way to help them reach their peak performance level? I bet the trend will be the growth of the independent leagues. Plenty of guys will play for free or for peanuts just to play or to get noticed. The folks this will really hurt are the small towns that draw tourists/revenue from the minor league games. Thinking towns in the Midwest and Sally leagues in particular.

    Take a look at all the guys over the last few years that have come out of nowhere to become big time players. The vast majority of them did so after after working with private coaches in the offseason to make changes. Which players are you talking about?

    And just to be clear...I don't think Potter is going to add 3 - 4 wins. It's the principle that matters. Kid does the right thing by trying to stay on track to graduate and gets punished for it.
  21. homer
    Transfer Micah Potter, who didn't play a minute for OSU last year but stayed in school in order to stay on track to graduate, cannot play until the end of the semester at UW. The NCAA is a total joke.
  22. homer
    What yard line was it? I mean even without the TO, Brady has plenty of time to do whatever he needs to do. The TO was in case Jones needed it going the other way.
  23. homer
    That's pretty funny.

    I started following some betting guys on twitter and they all say betting games against the spread is a fool's errand. Betting halftime spreads, O/U, and futures is a better way to go (per them). Also, if you bet college it's best to focus on a small conference - so maybe the MAC for football or some goofy conference with Wofford and Elon in basketball. Reason being not as many handicappers follow those teams so if you have some good research and info you can find an edge.
