  1. On TFB someone said he got booted off his HS team...anyone have the story there? edit: Seems like a bad sign
  2. Definitely some parallels but one huge difference is that USC got choked out whereas ND took it to OT. -5 rushing yards on the game and USC shut out after the first frame. That's pretty stunning.
  3. Football is not going anywhere. Boxing is a thing. MMA is a thing. How would your argument apply to those sports? We should ban the closed fist and only allow slaps? But not to the head because of basic human decency?
  4. Yeah he did. His top speed is very high and he gets to it quickly. I think he's going to be a great NFL player.
  5. Desmond is definitely the worst of the talking heads they trot out. Rece Davis is not terrible but he's not Fowler. Fowler was great at his job. It really needs to go back to two hours but I guess that ship has sailed because money.
  6. I thought 'An Ohio State University' was the best sign.
  7. Does TCU have anyone that would get snaps over Porter? Doubtful.
  8. We need stickers on every helmet that declare them to be CTE free zones. Why hasn't anyone thought of this? Seriously though, the rule as it is written is terrible. Foster was supposed to have gone at his knees? Or just not hit him as hard? Or maybe just kind of catch the runner and hope he stops? It's not a safe sport to play. The targeting rule does not make it any measurably safer, it just makes pussies feel better about watching a violent game. Watch a guard's helmet on pretty much every snap. When are we banning line play because safety? Also why are boxing and MMA ok but football has to CHANGE OR DIE!?!?
  9. Fun fact this used to be Earl Campbell's favorite beer (probably still is). I used to be friendly with someone that worked for him and he kept a fridge almost full of this beer in his downtown Austin office.
  10. 11a/12p I will flip between Miss St-K State and UCLA-land thieves. 230p Georgia-South Carolina all the way. I think this will be a good game. 6/7p Will start off Clemson at aggie. I am shocked the line here is only 12, I'd have guessed it would be 20-20.5. Usually when I am shocked I am wrong though. No LHN for me so I need to find a stream for the Tulsa tune up. 945p Mich St-ASU. I think Mich St is over rated this year and this will be a good game because Pac-12 night games are generally competitive chaos.
  11. Man you are missing out. The first one is solid, it was great at the time. I skimmed through about half of it while waiting for 3 to come out. The second one holds up well even today, though its too long for me to replay. The third one...to me its easily the best videogame ever and its not particularly close. Unless you just completely hate the genre its worth buying a console to play, or better yet a gaming PC.
  12. Yeah I am looking forward to his show, he is my favorite comedian. I loved him on SNL's Weekend Update. He has a podcast series out there if you are into podcasts.
  13. I liked it a lot but I thought the last two seasons were a pretty big decline from the quality of the first five. I love me some Vic. Guy that plays Shane is pretty good in everything he does.

    Targeting

    Targeting as it is written is a terrible rule. Football is a violent sport played by males. Its players and fans understand this. Targeting is the rules equivalent of virtue signaling. The rule needs to be rewritten to take into account both intent and whether or not the ball carrier moves during or after the tackler has lowered himself for the hit.
  15. Louisville players been chirping too. Not sure WTF they are thinking.
  16. https://www.seahawks.com/video/michael-dickson-s-61-yard-punt-and-tackle
  17. Pre-season AP All-American team came out today. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2018/08/21/love-oliver-grier-lead-ap-preseason-all-america-team/37553267/ Washington has a CB and a Safety across 1st and 2nd teams.
  18. I got a pair of the Texas Zoom Commands when they went on clearance at Nike a month or so ago. They are not last year's Week Zero though. These are https://www.eastbay.com/product/model:282401/sku:0881800/nike-free-trainer-v7-mens/texas-longhorns/orange/grey/ I think they are pretty good looking shoes. They have the same fixed/stitched tongue that this year's model has though, if that is a sticking point for anyone.
  19. https://raiderswire.usatoday.com/2018/08/11/player-of-the-game-raiders-rb-chris-warren/ lol why is there a player of the game award in preseason? I'll take it though.
  20. I am surprised this is not a bigger story. A kid is dead, I'd expect this to be running everywhere. To me this is way worse than Urban hanging on to a wife beater past his expiration date. Head coach is done and the school is going to get blasted with a giant lawsuit.
  21. https://www.outkickthecoverage.com/urban-meyer-caught-lying-about-assistants-alleged-domestic-abuse/ Lot of people don't like CT, but I am not one of them.
  22. https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/city-report-confederate-monuments-raises-idea-renaming-austin So absurd. I was there 91-97 for school and work and it was pretty weird but it was not yet the New California it has become.
