At some point we need to see if this staff can develop a QB instead of plucking transfers out of the portal every year.

Timeouts aren’t like shots off of a shooters fingertips in basketball. The refs don’t review for the exact second the knee went down and match it with when the coaches fingertip hits his palm to see if the timeout was called with tenths of seconds left on the clock. The only scenario I could see where that would happen is if it’s was an ACC crew in a Miami game.

The other players also need time to get used to his system. He should have them humming along in year 3, but patience is not something that Bama fans have in surplus.

DeBoer. He’s more Jennifer Cohen’s type. They make beautiful music together.

Stephen A is a ring sniffer. He is a huge fan of whoever is the best team/players in each sport (except Dallas). He always loved the NBA Finals matchups between Steph and LeBron. That way he was always happy with the result.

The referee has to blow the play dead before a timeout can be issued. Just because a freeze frame showed :01 on the clock with the QB’s shin on the ground doesn’t mean that there was a full second. There may have been a few tenths left. Not enough time for a referee to blow the play dead before the clock hit :00. The funny thing is I heard this from a Buckeyes fan who obviously had enough of his fellow fan’s whining.

Truth be told, it was pretty bad basketball all the way around. The Lynx shot 37% and 15% from three point range. The Liberty shot 30% and 8%.

Somebody sure was bitter about the result. Cheryl Reeve blasts officiating, says title 'stolen' from Lynx - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve said the WNBA title was "stolen" from her team due to what she called "incredibly disappointing" officiating.

Probably last year. Jones, Young and Tua were all starters.

In FCS action #2 NDSU beat #1 SDSU 13-9 in the Fargo Dome.

NCAA D2 Game of the Week. Defending National Champion #1 Harding University upset by #11 Ouachita Baptist University 17-13 in Arkadelphia, AR (birthplace of Bo Nix).

In the FCS we have #1 S. Dakota State over #2 N. Dakota State 9-7 at the half.

NCAA Division 2 Game of the week. #1 Harding University up 13-10 over #11 Ouachita Baptist University at the half.

A defensive battle is the last thing I expected for this Tennessee/Alabama game.

Reminder. This thread is not for discussion about last night‘s game against Purdue.

I’m going to be in the minority here, but Illinois’ uniforms are the best I’ve seen this year. The helmet makes the difference.

Miami’s defense isn’t much better. Louisville has over 400 yards total offense.

Miami will likely play Clemson in the ACC championship game. The ACC refs are going to be torn about who to cheat for in that one.

Shough vs. Mario should be a good one.

He’s just Mark Stoops with a more talented roster.

Harmon is the one and only reason he’s having that procedure. The amount of torque he put on his hand while ripping the ball out was just too much. Add to that the strength of Judkins trying not to lose the ball and you have a lot of force being applied to the bones and ligaments in his hand and wrist. I can promise you Judkins was 100% before that play.

In light of the comments made by Travis Hunter this week. This would be some Wile E. Coyote vs. Acme delivery truck type stuff.

I also think there is something to be said about the administration you work for and the boosters who support you. We all know the horror stories that come from programs like Auburn, Florida and Texas (pre Sark). They have absolutely zero patience with losing. I can promise you that Sark would’ve been out at Texas if head a losing season in his second year. I believe Oregon doesn’t tolerate losing very well, either. Helfrich is the perfect example. For all the missteps Mullens took early in his time at Oregon, he seems to have done quite a good job over the past several years. Sure, there are some sports that need to improve, but I’m sure he has a plan. It’s very easy to tell when a head coach and AD/boosters don’t have a great relationship (USuC ?). I get a sense that Mullens exercises patience with his coaches and they appreciate him.

Take a look at the 31:00 mark of this video. The “Bussin’ With the Boys” guys (Taylor Lewan and Will Compton) cross paths with Ryan Day in the tunnel well before the game starts and he doesn’t even acknowledge them. Some might call it focus but he looks like he has the weight of Ohio on his shoulders. Contrast that with their interaction with Lanning at 35:50. Sure, DL won, but he gave these guys full access prior to the outcome. It probably doesn’t hurt that they both played with MM8 in Nashville. However, I feel like Oregon’s administration gives DL a lot of leash when it comes to marketing his program. It seems like Day has a very short leash. That’s probably the difference between blue bloods and new money.
