Plowin'

No, I'm not saying the refs were "in on it."

And, again, the ACC is cool with FSU players raping people, shooting up property and breaking shit causing thousands of dollars of damages with bb guns, and undeniably blatantly breaking the law in "handling" those situations.


Of fucking course they're going to defend the refs that keep them in the running for the NC.

Sounds like a lot like you think the refs are "in on it".

Seriously, you are letting undeniably letting your rage for your perceived injustices that FSU has committed off the field to blind you from recognizing a fucking obvious PI call. I honestly don't know what else to bring up to you at this point to counter your train of thought. No amount of video evidence or testimony from people who make their professional careers in football will seem to convince you. I'm done.

I will say this--if that game is played in South Bend, or a neutral site, FSU loses that game big time. They got outplayed and outcoached. As a football fan, we might be lucky enough to get a rematch in the playoffs.

Plow, I'm just curious,are you self aware of how ridiculous you look in 90% of conversations you engage in?

you sound like fucking buckwheat and comparing your intellect to his would be too much of a compliment

[Tyche]

I'd be mad too...understandable.

[Arvin]

I just caught up. What the fk.

Crab legs won, ND lost. Oh well, it doesn't matter

[Plow]

I'd be mad too...understandable.

it's ok tyche, nobody expects you to be bright enough to play connect the dots


and indeed, clearly you are mad considering you've spent like 5 pages arguing about 2 different topics becaue I laughed at your hilarious Louisville comment


meanwhile I get to smile about it all cuz after next thursday you'll be gone for a couple more years until louisville manages to get a trashy enough schedule for you to appear here again

[Tyche]

I'm far from mad, I've spent the last 5 pages getting paid while bored at work. ICU is slow.

I may go, so you may not even hear from me Thursday! My daughter has been begging to go to a game. Also, sagarin still likes Louisville.

Louisville's Rank in Sagarin Predictor Ratings: 23
Predictor Rating: 82.07
Projected final regular season record*: 8-4

*Projected records are calculated by adding up the win probabilities of all games, not by counting the number of games in which a team is favored.


Game-by-game projections and win probabilities (Predictor rankings in parentheses):

Oct30 (16) Florida State -- Win by 1 -- 50%
Nov08 @ (46) Boston College -- Win by 4 -- 61%
Nov22 @ (13) Notre Dame -- Lose by 8 -- 29%
Nov29 (50) Kentucky -- Win by 12 -- 80%

[Plow]

Yeap.

The same projections that have the playoff being 4 SEC teams, and if one of them drops out, another SEC team jumping in.

And if more drop, the next 3 in being Oklahoma, TCU, and Baylor.

Yeah, that's correct, 5-2 OU is 6th in his rankings after losing at his #7 team and at home against his #14 team.

I wanted to say "lose" instead of "drop," but, you know, winning and losing apparently doesn't mean much in his rankings.

[Plow]

I'm glad you stick to keeping your arguments based entirely on such reliable statistical analysis. Can't imagine the drivel you'd be spewing if you actually tried to convey your own thoughts.

Ya'll still posting in a plow thread

So it turns out the call is actually on the outside guy, and the referee that called it had the DB directly between him and the receiver so that he couldn't see what actually happened between them.

When asked about the controversial flag, the NCAA's coordinator of officials, Rogers Redding, told The Associated Press, "What you want to look for, is it truly a situation where the offensive player prohibits the defender from making a play?''

"It's got to be obvious, and the rule even says, 'an obvious intent to impede.'''

Rule 7-3-8 is what Redding cites. It's also what has Irish fans still grumbling about Ryan's interpretation of pass interference. The rule book reads:

If opponents who are beyond the line collide while moving toward the pass, a foul by one or both players is indicated only if intent to impede the opponent is obvious. It is pass interference only if a catchable forward pass is involved.

So the back judge mistook that outside defender jumping inside to cover the run option for him being forced there by the defender as an intentional block.

The fraction of a second of miniscule contact caused by the defender at 18 seconds is what you're calling an intentional block that affected the play:





And the head linesman, that was RIGHT THERE in your camera and had the best view possible, disagreed with you.



edit for the strike: I think he actually thought it was a post and was trying to jump the slant part rather than thinking he was going to defend the run.

[Plow]

Long story short, your argument is that a defender jumping in front of a receiver and initiating contact to disrupt his rout is offensive pass interference.

[Tyche]

Rogers Redding, the same NCAA coordinator of officials that told Kirk Herbstreit that the call was correct? This is the same one, no? I quit caring 30 hours ago...and I'm the one who's mad? Stop looking silly.

Gurley will (re: should. Assuming the NCAA aren't total asshats) be back for Jean Shorts.

Incidentally, fell into GA/FL tickets for face value. Friend using points for a hotel room and getting it booked as a business trip = free Jacksonville trip #4.

[Anoat]

Is the pool deck going to be open for the Florida/Georgia game? That has the potential to get...out of hand.

[Wulfgang]

God the "Famine her right in the potato!" Gameday sign was amazing.

I keep forgetting Rutgers is in the Big 10 now. That's going to take me a while to get used to.

Hell, I still think of Penn State as new to the conference.
