So much wrong. First things first. The kicking team can only advance the ball if it does not cross the line of scrimmage. A blocked punt that goes 10 yards and is touched by the kicking team is illegal touching. The touching of the ball by the blocking player behind the line of scrimmage is...

Briles would be a disastrous hire in the NFL.

I'm sure the blocked punt thing will be taken care of in the off season. I have no idea why they had to decline the penalty. It seems like they should have gotten the penalty yardage from the dead ball spot. AFAIK on punts you always have the option of penalty yardage from the dead ball spot or...

It's really weird, since it's like the thing they do really well.

Better to be lucky etc etc

Welcome back, Andy.

Could be fucking awful here. A few hours of freezing rain? Sounds fantastic.

I went there and thought it was dumb as shit.

It's really weird. Even during freshmen orientation the administration put a really heavy emphasis on THE. It was crazy fucking dumb and weird.

Grats MSU, and especially Dantonio. Glad to see the guy who put Cincy on the map doing well. Also grats OSU. I don't care what anyone says. That was a he'll of a run.

You mean the spread offense that Auburn runs? It's a hurry up, no huddle, spread offense using the principles of a Delaware wing-t. Malzahn is a brilliant offensive mind, but he didn't invent this offense despite what these idiots are saying. They have somehow managed to oversell Malzahn, which...

Word on the street is that ownership wanted to see Keenum for the rest of the year. When he benched him again and still lost that was the end of Kubiak.

You should watch the MAC. It's essentially a level playing field. They all recruit the same areas. They all have similar history. They all have similar athletic budgets. It's as close as college football gets to parity, and that's why it's a fucking hotbed of coaches. It's pretty great.

Peak maction.

Miami (OH)? Oh, you meant Mizzou's other boring not mid-american conference.

Mizzou is a MAC affiliate member. Boom. Segue.

But then players can't slam their heads into things at extreme speed causing life long trauma to both parties on like every single play. Your war substitute is flawed, but better than soccer. Also, embrace chaos. Metric is much easier to use. Where's the fun in that? Your prefixes and easy...

ULTIMATE MACTION APPROACHING

It's not just Zimmer either. Gruden will probably get a couple interviews. Hue Jackson will probably get a look for OC somewhere. After that the Bengals have a slew of great position coaches, but I'm not sure if any of them would be candidates for coordinator positions.

I imagine when Zimmer goes on interviews he opens with a profanity laden tirade about how much of a fat whore their mom is then takes a shit on the carpet and walks out. It's the only way he hasn't been hired yet. Edit: Apparently he does a lot of research for interviews, and walks in with an...

I too was a big fan of Chad Pennington.

It depends. Clowney is still in the running. It's still a fairly deep QB class even with some guys staying in college, so if a team likes a likely second rounder. Also Clowney and Watt is a fucking disgusting thought.

Welcome to AAC football! The "marquee" matchups are usually on Thursday night since it's usually the only time they can get national games, and they have better ratings than MAC/ MWC/ CUSA games. With Louisville's departure though, it's pretty sad pickings next year. Cincy will be the premier...

Oh well. Grats UCF. On the whole it was a pretty good inaugural season from Tuberville. It feels like he's the guy that's going to give some stability to the program, which is sorely needed after crazy fucking rise that Dantonio started. I was a little worried about Tubs after TTU, but the...

Huh. I didn't realize they changed qbr yet again for 2013. It looks like we they completely diminished the role of clutch weighting for 2013, which is good. Running is still unduly weighted, but that doesn't explain the final qbr. Oh Jesus. The final qbr is based on an abstraction of season...

You have to understand that every metric measured by QBR is then modified by a clutch weighting, which essentially means that positive plays in close games are worth way fucking more than positive plays in a blowout. That is the core of QBR, and that is why it's really fucking dumb.

Well running being more important than passing for a QB is obvious. The real genius is the inclusion of grit because it's a sign of a weak QB if they dominate a game and just run the ball in the 4th quarter. A great QB needs to give up terrible ints early then have a game winning drive in the...

Fuck your relevant teams/ wistful memories of relevant teams from a by-gone age. KEG OF NAILS GAME MOTHFUCKERS. WOOOOOOOOO.

You'll also see sour farmhouse ales in packs pretty often. It's mostly a line between hardcore sours, ans session sours. Yeah lambics and American wilds are expensive. And I love them, but sour beer is a really broad ranging field.

I made goose for Xmas once. I wasn't a huge fan. It was fine, but I found it inexplicably slightly off putting.

I also don't have problem finding sours, and they aren't more than any other craft beers. I find Belgian sours tend towards pricey 750's, while American and Berliners tend to be average price in 6 packs. In the midwest a store with a decent stock should at least have Bell's Oarsman, which is a...

Oh great, now I have to track down a bottle of Consecration, which will be extremely difficult in KY, because a 10% dark sour sounds fucking amazing.

How will they replace his leadership and energy?

Washington won't be relevant again for a long time, sorry. College football has changed, and there is a very small pool of schools that can compete for a title. You can commiserate with Nebraska. All hail the champions of yesteryear.

High Five, nutty Bama voyeur bro. Sark would be an awful hire. Why not just keep the O at that point.

"Apart from that not much else happened" is the best ending to a shitty football game ever.

Holy shit, that is fucking amateur hour.

Alex "Volvo" Smith.

Good win for the Bengals. Dalton perhaps finally emerging from his slumber?
