    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.

    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.

    avoided the shut out!

    don't transfer from Apple wallet. Do the second transfer from the app - the tickets should still be there even after you sent them to your Apple wallet.

    You can definitely transfer them more than once. I've done it this year myself with no issues. I don't know why it is messed up for you, but it isn't because they can only be transferred once.

    I saw that JuJu Watkins signed a pretty lucrative deal with Nike, who oh by the way sponsors USC. I assume Chavez took appropriate notice.

    I don't see the legal basis for a hard, overall, salary cap - they could (plausibly) reach an agreement on what schools, themselves, can provide. But there is simply no authority to cap/limit what a player can receive in actual endorsements (the "real" version of NIL). Who is going to say Quinn Ewers can't do Dr. Pepper commercials for compensation? The NFL has a salary cap for what teams can pay their players, but the NFL has no say in what players make in endorsements - nor should they. Courts have already spiked attempts to limit player's ability to monetize their talents.

    those are some Charlie Strong fingers.

    Cal blew the game, no doubt. Total meltdown. But there is no reasonable explanation for missing that targeting call. It is exactly the kind of hit the needs to be taken out of the game of football. There are so many crappy targeting calls - many of which that are upheld - and here we have one that exemplifies why we have the rule and the ACC refs just decide to look the other way. Undermines faith in the fairness and integrity of the game. It wasn't just a bad call.
  16. someguy
    ACC isn't even trying to hide it at this point. Miami isn't even good enough to be pulling out all the ref stops for.

    The covid year just means it doesn't count against your eligibility - it doesn't count either as a redshirt or as a year of eligibility. The baseline eligibility rules are the same - 5 years to use 4 years of eligibility (with certain exceptions for a medical redshirt - no applicable for Majors). Covid year just means that year did not count for anybody for any purpose (doesn't count against one of the 4 years of playing and doesn't count as a redshirt year). Majors "redshirted" in 2020 in the sense that he did not play. Because 2020 was the covid year, that "redshirt" year did not count against him, so he retained his redshirt year. He just ended up not using it. Had Majors played in 2020 and sat out any of 2021, 2022, 2023, or 2024, then the year he played in 2020 would not count (covid year) and he'd be eligible to play next year. But that isn't what happened, so he's out of eligibility after this season.
  18. someguy
    I don't think that is true. Majors enrolled for the 2020 Covid season. That does not count against his eligibility. He started/played in more than 4 games in 2021, 2022, 2023, and now 2024. If he redshirted this year he could have come back next year, but having already played 4 games he has exhausted his eligibility.
  19. someguy
    he was walked off the field by an equipment guy (I think), similar to when someone gets ejected for targeting (or whatever).

    My guess is that Vegas thinks ULM won't be able to sustain drives and score much. That, combined with the fact that Texas is likely to air it out because 1) getting Arch live reps and 2) lessen the burden on the decimated RB room. If ULM can't rush the passer, Texas with all the WR talent will score quickly and often.

    believe it or not, there are plusses to actually developing your own guys. Buy in is higher. You learn their personalities, what makes them tick, what motivates them. There is a bigger opportunity to establish trust between player and coaches and player to play. If you believe in your culture, it is best to get the raw prospect used to doing things your way to maximize. Transfers are great for plugging holes, but there is still room for taking some targeted, high upside developmental takes.

    these are two poorly coached teams.

    That offensive pass interference call was truly baffling.

    Gunnar Helm

    someguy replied to BigHorn'13's topic in Football

    Tons of credit to Helm, obviously, but it is sooooo nice to have a staff that actually develops talent. That developmental piece is so easy to take for granted, but Banks has done a great job in the TE room. Helm bought in, worked his craft and had patience an it is now paying off. Great sign of a healthy program.
