GAME PEACH SEMI: #4 tOSU vs #1 UGA • espn • 8ET

[navamind]

Strange game for him - first 20 minutes, he was great. Then 20 minutes of terrible - 0-4. Then lights out from the end of the 3rd to the end of the game - 12-14, 207 yards, 2 TDs, 1FG. Baller. 4 of the 5 throws on the last drive were about as good as you will ever see ... he was threading the ball in between a bunch of players.

I was really impressed with Stroud. He ran for the first time, evidently, and we weren't ready for it.

Their stats are almost identical:

I was fully expecting Stroud to run against Michigan. The holes were there for him too.

United ... flights from RDU are already at $1000 per. VRBO/AirBnb are cheap and close to the stadium and cool places. I am expecting tickets to be $1000 each. The total trip budget for Sat - Tues will be about $7K, all in. Should have booked my flights sooner, but the delta is only about $400 each, so it's still a lot.

This is one reason why they will eventually play the quarter-finals at home fields. It's too expensive to do CCG, 1st round, quarters, semis and then finals. My buddy and I decided against Atlanta to take the shot at LA. I wasn't dropping an extra $3-4K for Atlanta.

We’re flying into Vegas and renting a car and driving to LA for the game. 500 bucks round trip for the flight, only have to pay resort fees at the hotel through getting the rest comped through my rewards, and 723 bucks each for tickets. Really not that bad. I’ll probably lose more in the casino than I spend on the rest of the trip

My damn iPhone changes "and" to "Anna" - anyone know how to set something to override that?

This might work. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement.

Then you’ll want to delete the and = Anna

Good to hear you’re not counting on the Airline that blew it big time. Friends of ours got stranded in St. Louis and even tried renting a Uhaul, then bus/train to get back to Omaha but everything/every place was no help. Their kids got into a car and drove to St. Louis & back round trip over night to get them home after Christmas.

Yeah -- it was brutal in the St. Louis area. My buddy bought a ticket for his son and girlfriend to fly into St. Louis for Christmas. Their bags made it to St Louis, but after the first leg of the trip, they ended up stranded at the airport with no luggage for 3+ days. Southwest kept switching them to a different flight and then right before it they'd cancel it.

My buddy ended up spending over 5k on flights and bus tickets to get his son and girlfriend back home, so they never made it to St. Louis and spent Christmas at the airport. Now they are trying not to pay him back for the flight he finally got them booked on, because it is a different airline, even though Southwest stranded them in an airport with no luggage for 3 days.

That is what I was hoping might exist! Thanks, I'll give that a try. Other than not letting me dictate cuss words, the dictation works well.

You gotta meet up with Peter

 

[michaeljordan_fan]

You got me.
I should have said the ref 'signalled' a timeout.
It becomes official when the ref signals it.
And before he does so, he needs to do two things.
1) Confirm the timeout is being requested by an authorized person.
2) Confirm the ball is dead.

He made a mistake and didn't check #2
The video confirms it.
Not a huge deal. Shit happens.

You're an idiot.

The coach only has to call it before the ball is snapped.

The referee can absolutely blow it dead after the ball is snapped.

The offer to pass out on my sister’s lawn still stands. She’s about 10 minutes from the stadium.

I thought he was short live. Getting that leg off the ground is just great body control. Easy overturn with the replay, but I thought he was short until I saw the replay

I thought this was correct at first, but the picture showed on TV is irrelevant.

Here is the rule:



Bowers was airborne as he crossed the sideline. The ball was placed at the point where the referee determined it crossed the sideline (which is the rule).

A picture from the end zone along the out of bounds line showing the ball was ahead of the line to gain when it crossed the sideline would be required in order to produce 'indisputable video evidence' in order to change the spot.

Makes up for the offsides call on the false start or the PI called on the uncatchable pass or the blatant hold not called on the QB run that set up the game winning attempt then

It sounds tempting, but it’s an early morning flight Tuesday. Probably won’t be any passing out until I’m on the plane

Please pretend that there weren't multiple holding calls missed on both sides. LOL Holding.

Shouldn't have been PI. Should have been defensive holding. Same result.

It was offsides.

Ugly plaid shirt and gray slacks for gameday?

He 100% deserved to watch his team lose.

By rule, he is not airborne. His hand is on the ground, in bounds, meaning he is not airborne. Therefore the advancement of the ball, even if it is out of bounds, continues until he lands out of bounds, or his hand lifts at which time he is airborne.

I saw a good explanation of this ... let's say while tight-roping down the sideline the WR held the ball out over the sideline, and the ball was actually out of bounds. So, you have a runner in bounds running 20 yards, as an example, and he has the ball held out over the out of bounds line. After running 20 yards he steps out of bounds. They don't move the ball back 20 yards to when he first held the ball out over the sideline. Same here ... so long as Bowers has his hand on the ground in-bounds, he is not airborne, and the ball being out of bounds can keep moving forward until it hits the ground, any part of him hits the ground, or he lifts his hand off the ground.

So, the problem with your position, IMO, is that you aren't defining "airborne" correctly.

Another example is a WR who keeps one foot in bounds as he leans out of bounds to catch a ball. As he is falling down, with no body part out of bounds, and at least one foot on the ground, he can hold the ball forward as he falls and when he hits the ground the ball is marked where he was holding it, not where it crossed the sideline before he caught it.

No, you’re desperate and trying to blame the refs. It’s pathetic.

I really thought you were better than that, but I no longer respect your opinion.

What a fucking sad sack you turned out to be

Oh no! I'm crushed that a message board poster no longer respects my opinion! I think I will go die now.
