I think the best way for this to work is for people to post a parent comment for any game they're watching. But honestly y'all can do whatever, I'm not a mod

Edit: I would also encourage sorting by new, but ya know, I'm not signing your check

I'm gonna say it... I don't much like the new clock rules

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Don't remember hearing about them. Care to enlighten me?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)
  1. First downs don't stop the clock except the last two minutes of the 2nd and 4th Q.
  2. Can't call consecutive timeouts.
  3. 1st and 3rd Q can end on penalties, they are applied at the start of the next quarter.

I think the first one is really only going to make a big difference, but they want to reduce the number of plays in a game.

JSU and UTEP just saw pt 2 come into pay

College used to stop the game clock on first downs

That's simultaneously DPI and OPI on 89 for Navy! Gotta call that, ref!

Very surprised that Sam is still in there

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Welp I guess that's why he's still in

Let's see some Angeli

Looks like a lovely day for football

The Aviva is also a nice stadium. I do always hope some player will sneak a hurley onto the field.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know the DB got there a beat early on that incompletion, but I'm 100% fine with that as a no call on an underthrown ball. Defenders should be entitled to some reasonable amount of inertia along their existing vector. Nothing feels cheaper than a "let him run into me" DPI call.

Not that it's gonna matter in this game, LOL.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Let the boys play is just a general rule of thumb for me. Unless that contact is egregious and obviously impacted the outcome of the play I think the no call is good.

Week 0 and absolute ass tackling, name a more iconic duo

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Alright, I think I've got my sicko fill for the early window. Gonna get some other stuff done until maybe the Hawaii-Vandy game.

Hartman is good. Navy isn't an FCS team, this is exciting, 5/5 touchdown drives my goodness

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Academies absolutely cannot play undisciplined, but I guess it didn't matter.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm going to give it at least the entire first quarter to see if Navy has anything up their sleeves, but this may be more of a ceremonial start of the season for me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I was really hoping Navy would look ready and nd would look shaky. Not sure that's what we're getting

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Boooooo we're happy ND is rolling

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

To be clear I don't necessarily pull against nd, just for tight games if they don't involve Tenn, bama or fl

I assume Jac Collinsworth is on some kind of registry that precludes him from international travel.
