  1. Trust me, it’s almost as bad in person. Alumni band was great at halftime.
  2. I am at the Nebraska- Purdue game. They both suck. 0-0 at half. Purdue has 89 yards of offense and 90 penalty yards. Blocked 2 NU kicks so far.
  3. Had a great call with @troph this morning. The people are what is so great about this community.
  4. Just saw the postgame was sponsored by JC Penney, so it makes a little more sense.
  5. I cannot believe the spouses of these halftime commenter guys let them out of the house dressed like clowns.
  6. My son and I saw, in person, 2-29 Detroit at 24-6 Boston, in Boston, on Dec 28. It was 2 really shitty games packed into 1. Detroit led 66-47 at half. Boston tied it by the end of the 3rd Q and ultimately won in OT. Depending on perspective that was either 2 really shitty games or 2 transcendent games all packed into 1. It was entertaining, though
  7. This thread is a little old, but I figured I'd bump it... I have a specific question for an employment attorney (rather not post details here) and am curious if @troph or @TwiceHorn are still the go-to? Or @Ghost of LL
  8. No one in here is confused about the level of play. No one is asserting that WNBA is "must watch" for everyone. Some of us enjoy watching it sometimes, esp. when Clark is playing. In the late 80s and early 90s, Conradt had her teams practice against a men's team composed of former HS Varsity players who were playing/winning the men's intramural leagues. Yes, the men won most of the time and it is not surprising. Asserting that a HS JV Boys team could beat a WNBA team is absurd. I enjoy the missed layup highlights as much as the next guy, but don't comprehend the insistence of some to watch it, hate it, comment on it, argue with those who say "stop watching" and then watch more. If it sucks, turn it off. Perhaps a "WNBA is total garbage" thread would be more appropriate for some of you.
  9. Regardless of outcome, they are going back to Indiana, but I know what you mean. Step it up!
  10. Several of you already mentioned some of this, but I will summarize: Caleb Williams was a 5* QB with a 99 rating from 247. Plus, he had coaching from the likes of Riley and Cale Gundy. And he was the #2 QB prospect behind Ewers. #8 overall. Hawkins is a 3-4* QB with an 82 rating from 247. #20 QB and #297 overall. And he jumped from #35 to #20 late in the recuiting cycle it appears. He's coached by Littrell and Joe Jon Finley. HUGE advantage: WIlliams. The similarities between Williams and Hawkins are superficial, as indicated in many of your posts.
  11. IMO, you do that to keep your credibility. And to manage the locker room. Arnold clearly stinks. Hawkins gave them a spark. If we can see it, the players can see it. Hawkins needs all the snaps with the 1st team this week. That said, this could also be fool's gold in that they both could suck. Hawkins entered the game with 1:40 left in the 2nd, down 19-3. OU did nothing meaningful on offense until mid-Q4. Drives of 6, 5, 21, and 5 yards preceded the first meaningful drive of 68 yards (TD) that completed at 8:30 left in Q4. For reference, OU had 222 yards of total offense. 63% of that came in Q4, when Tennessee's 2nd and 3rd team defense was likely in the game.
  12. BAL had the right gameplan - run, run, and then run again. As futureman and others allude, this is yet another fools gold comeback. The interior defense for Dallas stinks. Too little too late. (and micah is WAY overrated)
  13. Lamar is not exactly known for his propensity for closing out games. As a Steeler fan, I hope he shits himself. And lights himself on fire. EDIT - figuratively
  14. Brady is worthless as a commentator. Good for him for getting $37.5mm per year for saying nothing.
  15. Purdue is a football atrocity right now. UND steamrolled them and they were just uncompetitive against Oregon State (who's not very good). Card has not performed well, so it was probably best that the game was hidden on NewsNation for a bit. Fwiw, Graham Harrell is the OC.
  16. Texas is up 35-3. They are making calls where Arch cannot run. Arch is biased toward airing it out.
