  1. The deeper we get into the season - certainly the post-season - it seems that fewer targeting calls are being made or upheld. The ASU kid ejected from B12 championship game is the only player that comes to mind. It may just be that unless it's egregious and their hands are tied, they don't want to be the deciding factor or have a role in sending a team home. Akin to a home plate umpire that doesn't want to call a game-ending third strike on a ball that touches the outside corner of the zone, but is forced to when a player (most likely Aaron Judge) takes strike three through the heart of the zone.
  2. I heard that and I'm aligned with the argument that it was a continuous action and that Bond was effectively taken out of the play by the hit. It could go either way, but the primary take away is that NO targeting calls were being made yesterday.
  3. I believe it would have meant maintaining possession and 15 yards from the previous line of scrimmage,
  4. Did they just file a lawsuit against someone over the results?
  5. Former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Bill Bergey.
  6. Someone needs to start a rumor that Herbie stole his new dog.
  7. Technically it was for not wearing sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
  8. Agreed. Clemson has more talent, particularly at defensive line, quarterback, and wide receiver—players who will likely be playing or holding a clipboard on Sunday in a season or two. With depth and a coaching staff experienced in high-pressure games, even Clemson has a clear edge over Arizona State. That defensive front would likely dominate, disrupting ASU's ability to run or protect its quarterback. ASU has also struggled against equally talented teams where Skattaboo gets fewer than 20 carries because they're throwing more, which doesn't bode well against either Clemson or Texas. While ASU might try to throw, the Tigers’ pass rush would make this a difficult task, and if they do bottle up Skattaboo - say "goodnight." Cade Klubnik (did you know he went to "Westlake"? — drink!) would exploit mismatches in ASU’s secondary and linebacking corps. A dominant defense and a polished offense would control the game from start to finish. Clemson 38, Arizona State 17. That said, we're doomed.
  9. Gotta know where the lines are when you cross them.
  10. I vote for nine. With the CFP expanding to 12 teams, strength of schedule becomes even more critical. A nine-game SEC schedule could position SEC teams favorably in the selection process by enhancing strength of schedule metrics. More higher-profile SEC matchups, more often, would also attract larger audiences and generate more TV revenue. Wouldn't that be helpful during future negotiations for media rights and contracts?
