It's because grown men slamming each other into the ground can't make silly little gestures for fear of hurting someone's feelings. In this case, the fans. Haha

Is it that necessary to do it?

 

[Yaboosh]

I have never actually seen someone defend the throat slash.

 

[Monroeski]

For the rest, their housing is mostly newer, yeah. But you have to start somewhere. I'm not saying they have the traditions of A&M or UT, but it's not like they're anywhere near the status of a community college like they might have been 20 years ago.

Don't want to go round and round, so this will be my last post on it, but to be clear I was definitely talking about the conference armageddon many people think will happen sometime in the short term. Long term, 10+ years, they may be able to make themselves attractive. For now, though, they're still quite a long ways away.

Is it really any different than any other stupid gesture that doesn't get called like the hands to the ears, discount double check which is a directed taunt, etc?

 

[Meier]

Golson is not a good QB. Weak as piss arm and horrible decision making.

Flexing and screaming ought to be a penalty too, IMHO.

 

[Yaboosh]

Wake Forest is going to get the ball back to try to drive the field down 8 with 1:49 to go against FSU.

At least he isn't turning the ball over.

 

[Monroeski]

TV cameras focusing on Baylor's sideline cheer section always amuse me. They almost always end up panning out far enough that you can see the group is only like 15-20 feet wide.

Yes

Are you really that thin skinned?

There is the Beatty I remember.

God damn it Ohio State.

Oh that makes sense. But that's why I was pointing out how I found it funny that the program isn't good enough now but the staff that runs it is ripe for immediate pickup to P5 programs.

 

[HeySeuss]

Marshall gonna Marshall. Looked like he stepped out of bounds tho.

Ah no. Ball was out first.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

tOSU getting off on technicalities now

EDIT: Never mind

 

[HeySeuss]

Oh we gonna get a gift

 

[Kacar]

Wow, looks like he was eneligible, big break for us.

Eidt: nvm nvm

 

[User 463088]

He didn't re-establish himself.

That is total bullshit.

 

[DirtyManos]

Omg, if they had given it back to OSU....on that little technicality...

 

[MIMIC]

Oh so you can come from out of bounds to recover a ball? I didn't know that.

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

What? Bad call.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Haha

 

[Surge]

So glad there's instant replay challenges to get the call right...fucking idiot refs

 

[BertramCooper]

Omg, if they had given it back to OSU....on that little technicality...

By "technicality," you mean a rule?

 

[HeySeuss]

Um. Oh well lol

 

[Yaboosh]

Penalties man. Penalties will be the death of us.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Oh so you can come from out of bounds to recover a ball? I didn't know that.

You can't.

But I'm guessing the replay official wasn't even paying attention to that.

They just wanted to make sure the ball was out of Marshall's hands by the time he was out of bounds, nothing after that.

EDIT: Replay guys say that they thought Fant was re-established in the field of play before recovery

 

[DirtyManos]

By "technicality," you mean a rule?

I mean I get it, it's a rule...

But it's like holy hell just because his toes were out after that clear fumble and everything...would've been harsh.

 

[Limedust]

We're giving up the short passes to defend the big play, and Lambert is missing the throws.

 

[Yaboosh]

Game over, FSU wins. Well played by Wake but tons of stupid penalties, badly called penalties, and lots of missing parts on offense/defense really hurt us today.

 

[Monroeski]

Making myself a liar about not posting about it any more (would have edited the old post if you hadn't responded yet) but even the 10+ years means I think that in 10+ years they'll be hoping to make themselves attractive enough to major conferences to think they'll be profitable in 20+ years.

Right in the absolute heart of oil country, and a full desperation mode Big 12 picked TCU (who has 1/4 the enrollment of Houston) instead of them. That should tell you a few things.

 

[HeySeuss]

Seemed like the replay booth was scrambling to justify their flub.

 

[BertramCooper]

That explanation made no fucking sense.

 

[Lonestar]

Richt.gif request right there

 

[Kacar]

I like how the announcers are confusing it with the basketball rule. You can't be the first to touch the ball. It's not about reestablishing in the field of play.

Edit: Tyvis.....

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Duke wins. Florida State wins. Ugly wins, the both of them. Good day.

Will catch up on the carnage of the thread/afternoon later. (Nice effort, Georgia?)

 

[Monroeski]

Webb enters the game. Officially giving up on winning this one.

 

[BertramCooper]

You're KILLING ME, Tyvis.

 

[Vanillalite]

[BertramCooper]

Oh wow idiot color commentator doesn't wanna go for it wow

 

[CrocMother]

That explanation made no fucking sense.

Made sense to me

TCU had the benefit of private school money and winning for the past decade. It also took them being invited by the Big East first, which was a major conference at the time.

But of course you have to acknowledge that UH didn't even make themselves attractive to the imploding Big East until the last possible second.

No flag on the bodyslam

IU needs to onside kick it here, IMHO

 

[timetokill]

He hated Jimbo. He actually switched to volleyball in his second year at FSU because he had such a bad experience working for the football team.

Now, he's just kind of quietly terrified of Urban. My uncle is a bit of a chatterbox and when he finally got to meet Urban, he apparently was talking his ear off. My cousin was horribly embarrassed and completely mortified. Urban is every bit as humorless as advertised.

Hahaha, that's pretty funny. Yeah, I can't imagine having a friendly chat with Urban.

 

[HeySeuss]

Too early for that.

 

[Jhriad]

Run the fucking ball, Langsdorf. If we lose this it's on your shitty fucking playcalling.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Not a good call, but eh.

 

[bronkonagurski]

Shhh don't give away the plan.
