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 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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!

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years 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.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f 2 points 2 years 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

Looks like a lovely day for football

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Very surprised that Sam is still in there

[–] Wakmrow 3 points 2 years ago

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

Let's see some Angeli

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

Go Irish!

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years 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.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f 2 points 2 years 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

[–] Wakmrow 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Boooooo we're happy ND is rolling

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f 3 points 2 years 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.
