ND challenged two calls in the first period and video review upheld both, so they got slapped with a bench minor for delay of game. Never seen that before.
Check the fine print on the back of the ticket. The closest thing I had at hand was an M basketball ticket from Crisler, which states that the Holder grants permission to use Holder's image and likeliness in recordings and photographs etc. So basically showing up means you're consenting to having your picture taken.
Seth, excellent write up. I initially read the title as "The THREET" and got unreasonably excited about breaking down the 2008 Wisconsin game. I should go to sleep.
Lack of gravity or atmosphere doesn't dispel physics. Newton's Second Law (F=ma) still applies! Think about inertia; it's going to take a lot more force to start (and stop!) a Death Star than it would a snubfighter. Changing direction is acceleration, so mass (not weight) will directly affect maneuverability. Maybe that's where the Death Star analogy is apropos; once it gets going, it's nigh impossible to stop.
Actually TIEs have better maneuverability. Incom XWs are shielded, carry a hyperdrive, and more heavily armed. They positively lumber compared to the Interceptor line, A-wings, etc.
A covered receiver more than three yard from the LOS (in NCAA) when a forward pass is thrown would be penalized as ineligible receiver downfield, just like if one of the linemen wanders too far during an RPO.
I think this is heading in the right direction, though you still plan to punt. I think about dumping to clear the zone more like a QB scrambling and having to toss the ball into the dirt to avoid a sack. It's not something you plan for, it's something you have to do to avoid something even worse. Dump and chase in the opponent's zone is entirely different.
If they determine it's contact with the head, is it mandatory that both the major and game misconduct penalties be assessed? Can it be one or the other?
Zama was won because Scipio neutralized Hannibal's recruiting advantage. Despite all the time he spent in Italy, Hannibal never again scored the sort of program-defining victory that would allow him to swell his ranks with local croots. Scipio brought the battle to Carthage, forcing them to recall Hannibal to defend his home. At Zama, the elephants were a non-issue; it was the combined Roman and allied Numidian cavalry that ultimately turned the tide. So we need to get someone who can go into enemy territory and convince their croots to fight with us, rather than against us.
And it was the Fabian strategy of avoiding pitched battles that triumphed over Hannibal. Marian's reforms probably would not have helped as much as consolidation of imperium into one general, rather than having two consuls who split command on alternating days. Legend has it that the two consuls disagreed about whether to give battle at Cannae, so one consul simply waited until it was his turn to lead before walking into the now-infamous disaster.
Interesting that you chose Cannae for the analogy. If we're going for a battle in which a defender launches an unconventional push on the middle in a desperate attempt to encircle an advancing foe, I would have chosen the (similarly-shaped) Battle of the Bulge.
Thanks for making these. I've watched the stupid fire drill field goal a zillion times, and I just watched the Rutgers one today. I'm a glutton for punishment.
By that logic, if he's tested negative and can't have COVID, that means we can stop testing him right? If you want to know how quickly the virus can spread in a football team, ask Wisconsin.
+1 my thoughts exactly. It's incumbent upon Bama to recognize the QB and punter are both on the field at the same time. Also I lol'd when I saw Bama line up their best CB over the punter.
I debated going as I'm old but I'm glad I went because it was fucking awesome. I almost got into a fight with some random ND fan who was leaving in the fourth quarter, 10/10 would do it again
I read your posts and rely upon them for how to dress at home games. Would it be possible to incorporate some figures or maps that show some of the relevant weather? Thanks again!

Cruel and unusual punishment if you ask me
Augustine really saved their bacon
Wings won earlier, should be a good omen right? Just ignore the basketball dumpster fire
The last score came off a GW3 airball, when a Nebraska bench player banked in a 3. This game was not as close as the 20 point deficit would indicate
"Michigan on a 12-2 run to bring the score to within 15"
Great, the Nebraska students are cheering for Tschetter? We've been reduced to just getting clowned on

Shootout starts, CW50 cuts the game feed, commercials roll, start playing Big Bang Theory rerun, WTF.
Seth, The Play isn't embedded for me, not sure if it is for others.
While I would love to see these games in person, I will have to settle for the view from my couch.
Is Seth wearing the turnover sunglasses?!

Thanks Alex this is great!
Most two-in-one places just put the hardwood court on top of the ice.
When is this from? We were wearing blue last night and Bordeleau wasn't playing
I'm watching Air Force at Nevada in OT while waiting for this to start
that juwan gif has to be the new "who's got it better than us" pic. maybe even the banner

I was hoping Urban was going to use the famous phrase popularized by Shaggy, "It wasn't me".

This is the greatest thing I have ever seen on this site.
If football be the food of love, play on.
In 2011 there was a random girl next to me and we rushed the field together. Got a W and made a new friend that day!
He's had ankle issues and landed awkwardly in the first couple minutes of this one.
In my initial watch I saw zero instances where we had three linebackers holding hands, so I guess the LBs are improving.

My opinions on Michigan football have oscillated between Brian's takes and bronx's; for the time being I'm firmly in the bronx camp.

That was getting blocked even if he caught it cleanly
A roundtable discussion about COVID and college football should probably involve a medical expert.
RIP Bump. Can we get a Neck Sharpies on that play?

Hey bronx I just wanted to say thanks for writing these, sometimes we can all use a bit of levity after these games.
LFG indeed! Gonna hold Raj to his prediction for OSU as well...
Under KFaTAotW, it looks like Brad Hawkins is listed under one point as receiving an HM twice, so he should probably have two points.
Anyone else hear the random Windows dings today?
I'm only just now stepping out of BPONE where the narrative has the wheels falling off in a nail biter, 23-20. Please be wrong.
I debated going as I'm old but I'm glad I went because it was fucking awesome. I almost got into a fight with some random ND fan who was leaving in the fourth quarter, 10/10 would do it again
65-67 3OT
This is the one I was waiting for
