    I never want to hear from anyone how intensely the Arkansas fans hate Texas. I was prepared for a significant level of hate. Instead, there was no juice at all from the Arkansas side. Leaving my hotel in the morning I had several Arkansas fans talk to me about how pleasant the weather would be and that they hoped it would be a good game. Walking up from the high school, not a single horns down, not so much as a wayward look. The stadium relied on canned noise (how is that freaking train whistle legal?) and the lamest freaking on field hype man you'll ever see. The only time it got somewhat loud was that stretch in the third quarter, and half the stadium bailed with 4 minutes left. I could see how it would be a loud environment in a big night game (the stadium is well designed to keep the noise in), but I never want to hear about how Texas is the Super Bowl for Arkansas. That wasn't even remotely true today.

    There is a valid point to be made that Arkansas is hostile ground and shouldn't be taken casually, but for crying out loud the bulk of this team played at Alabama last year, Tech/Ok St/West Virginia, the Sugar Bowl last year, Michigan this year - they are used to high stakes games, games with intense crowds, and games where the local team has hate that isn't reciprocal. Let's not forget that the team rallied around the "farewell tour" last year, embracing the chance to get scoreboard on the entire conference. They remember the last time Texas played at Arkansas. They know what is at stake for the SEC championship and playoff berth. I have no idea what will happen on Saturday. I hope they play well. I expect they will. But if they lose it'll be because they played poorly and not because they were blindsided and intimidated by an 11AM Arkansas crowd.

    how on earth does anyone - ANYONE - think that is a good idea? It unnecessarily alienates him from coaches/teammates when there is already plenty of grounds for resentment on nepotism grounds. He is already one of the most marginally talented and accomplished players in the G League - he needs every rep. It makes him look like a diva, makes the Laker organization look weak, and makes LeBron look even more delusional and petty pulling strings behind the scenes. For crying out loud - let the kid fly commercial, grind away at his craft outside the bright lights, and let him try to learn and grow and develop.

    Fuck Big 12 refs

    someguy replied to taybo20's topic in Football

    cancelled out would mean replaying the down, not granting the automatic first down. Making the call on Utah but not the offsetting call on BYU benefits BYU. Do you want all the technical infractions called or not?

    according to wikipedia, he graduated from the LSU veterinary school and was a vet for 10 years before going to medical school. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Abraham_(politician)#:~:text=Ralph Lee Abraham Jr.,and resident of Alto%2C Louisiana. https://lailluminator.com/2024/06/25/surgeon-general/ Personally, i'm shook that a message board poster was wrong. What is the world coming to?

    If that article is accurate and he has a grade 2 hamstring strain and received a prp injection, then there’s no way he’s playing on Saturday.

    Your fate was sealed back in September, you just didn't know it.

    Sark is telling the truth. Worthy was fine most of the year. He sustained a hamate fracture in late October. I do not recall if he was asked directly about a Worthy injury after it happened.

    The S&C staff isn't the problem.

    Sark said in his press conference yesterday that Ewers is/was not hurt. I appreciate why some in this thread are grasping at those straws, but believe what Sark said.

    I was sitting right next to the UGA section. It was definitely SEC.
  15. someguy
    definitely SEC SEC. At times they did chant U G A, but mostly it was SEC SEC. edit: I will also say, I know it was F1 week and all, but I was very surprised at the low number of UGA fans. There were more Alabama fans 2 years ago and a helluva lot more LSU fans in 2019. I'd go so far as to say there might have been more BYU fans last year. They were loud at the end of the game for obvious reasons, but it was far, far short of 20%.

    Golden seemed to accurately read the coverage as zone and sat down in the soft spot between the defenders. If Ewers hits him in the numbers it is a modest gain. Ewers threw the ball anticipating Golden would keep moving/leading him into the defender. Nice disguise by Georgia and all, but hardly ground breaking and something you'd expect an upperclass QB and WR to handle. For all of Herbstreits hyperventilating, the corner immediately opened his shoulders on the snap and was already facing the middle of the field ready to close when Ewers was getting ready to throw.

    Hopefully pushing Murphy out and hiring Ianello gives CDC the margin to make that move.

    this is pure, uncut, copium.

    Just wait until Clemson "suing the ACC" plays an undefeated Miami in the conference championship game. They might let Miami play 15 on defense and just decline to call a penalty.
  20. someguy
    I can't get over these ACC reviews - there was no definitive angle showing when the ball started moving. That call should have stood.

    Taaffe recognized the uncovered wheel and was rotating over. It would have been a chunk play with a decently well thrown ball, but wasn't going to score absent a Taaffe gaffe (apologies, i couldn't help myself).

    DD is correct. The upside to the defense is getting the advantage that 12 vs. 11 provides. Ordinarily it isn't an advantage because it gets flagged and you give up 5 yards and repeat the down. With only 10 seconds left, however, the replay of the down and the cost of only 5 yards pales in comparison to the burning of time. So, by playing 12 against 11, you force the offense into a play where they are at a disadvantage (11 against 12) while at the same time burning precious time. If you can do that without getting called for a penalty - that's great. Even if you do get called for the penalty, then you gladly exchange the 5 yards for the time burned (because they do not put the time back on the clock. There is really no scenario where the defense would proactively be looking to definitively get flagged though.
