The Notorious ZSB posted:Both those teams feature people who legitimately can threaten the defense vertically with the passing game. Since Stephen Hill left GT hasn't had a WR or QB who can manage that. When you can safely stack the box with 8-9 guys because you no longer fear anything going over the top no matter how tricksy you are the offensive success is going to slow down.

It's a shame, when he played well, he was great, but some people don't understand that if you get caught smoking weed (three times!), you are going to get kicked off the team (and go to Auburn, Alabama, or LSU).

Ghost of Reagan Past posted:I was more talking about Nebraska in the 1990s. He's still correct though. '90s Nebraska would run option four times and throw deep on the fifth using the same motion and it fooled defenses all the time. I'm not necessarily referring to the dominant teams either. Late-90s Nebraska consistently did it with Eric Crouch and Tracey Wistrom.

Vandy DL coach Vavae Tata is indefinitely suspended after picking up a DUI/leaving the scene last night in Nashville, dinging a few parked cars before blowing a .18. He's got a previous conviction from his days as a UCLA player -- that time he flipped his car, causing several injuries.

"a year before this arrest Denzel Nkemdiche assaulted an innocent individual who he'd never met or spoken to before at Ole Miss's Kappa Alpha fraternity house in the early morning hours of February 17th, 2013." In case anyone doesn't know, the Kappa Alpha frat views Robert E. Lee as a spiritual founder and at many schools dresses up as Confederate Civil War Soldiers for their Old South weekend. Not saying the frat guy getting assaulted was something that should have happened but I'd be shocked if he didn't say anything to get attacked.

Mizzou's KA chapter was right across the street from us and some fun guys decided to test out their cannon. A piece of iron went through the roof of the apartment building across the other way and crashed in on some Asians playing ping pong. I guess what I'm saying is Civil War era weaponry is awesome.

Thermos H Christ posted:I didn't get the impression that low student attendance was a big problem for A&M the last couple years. But picking up on what Democratic Pirate said, I was at the Alabama game and there is no way I could have endured that heat for that length of time if it wasn't such a big matchup. Yeah that game was miserable. I recall it not even being that hot, just humid and sunny. Each one of my group had to go sit down in the shade at least once during the game, and we all made sure to drink plenty of water and bring in huge bottles to drink during the game.

It was packed tightly enough that most everyone around us had to stand sideways and still be in constant contact with their neighbors, not enough space to have shoulders facing the field. It was a pretty epic experience but definitely a taxing physical ordeal. 96 outside, but I guarantee it was well over a hundred in the middle of all those overheated bodies.

Not saying the frat guy getting assaulted was something that should have happened but I'd be shocked if he didn't say anything to get attacked. Blaming it on KA Order doesn't take into account that the average frat guy joins their organization for beer or sororities rather than because the org has enough institutionalized racism to it. Their nationals put out a blanket ban on confederate uniforms and symbols during Old South week back in like 2009 after the last incident with it, and they've been publicly trying to distance themselves and walk back a lot of the confederate apologetics they espoused in the past. The guy's probably just a racist shithead. Your Greek org isn't what does that to you.

From what I remember of the KA's and football players at Ole Miss it wouldn't surprise me if what was alleged in the lawsuit was true. But it also wouldn't surprise me if some stupid white frat guy mouthed off and started a fight then decided to run to a lawyer after getting his rear end beat.

Three Oklahoma players supposedly violated NCAA rules by eating more pasta than they were allowed at a graduation banquet last May. In order to regain their eligibility, they each had to donate $3.83 to charity. Keep doing what you do, NCAA.

This always devolves into "why don't ____ form their own thing" which makes me wonder if people are dumb or not to think that a new organization won't just be filled to the brim with either the same bullshit the NCAA had or a brand new kind of bullshit we hadn't thought of yet. I'm sure we won't know until we try but I can so easily imagine a world where our kid's kids sit on a message board complaining about how the current governing body of college athletics is dumb/wrong/antiquated and that a change should be made.

I've actually come to good terms with noon games. I'm not a morning person so getting up at 7 to be somewhere by 9 on my day off is not a particular joy but I get to watch my team and be home(or at someone's home waiting for traffic) early and then get to catch most of the 3:30 games and all of the night games. I usually miss very few quality games and I also get to bed at a reasonable hour. Man, I sound so old.

I used to hate noon games because they're at 9 AM on the west coast. Now I think they own because they make it socially acceptable to order pitchers of beer with breakfast.

When we have early games I don't like them because I want more time to relax and to not rush. When we have late games I don't like them because it's too much downtime to overthink things.

Late away games are by far the worst though. Sit around all day, then game, then get back home at some ridiculous loving hour.

Like the A&M-Mizzou game, that was right after the Iron Bowl and I didn't even bother watching because I knew nothing could top that finish.

11:30 games are awesome. Wake up, have breakfast, watch the game. When my game is on at 3;30 or at night it just wastes my whole Saturday as I refuse to start any projects or do anything remotely productive that might accidentally cause me to miss any of the game. I just sit at home. Waiting.
