Love the Blackwatch kilt

Yeah that first no-call was close, but I agree that I didn't think it was a PI

Yeah they're a pretty scrappy team. I'm sure Louisville will pull away in the second half, but they'll give them fits in the first half for sure

Interesting penalty. Why would he chuck it there? Lol

Lol I don't blame you. The broadcasters are not that great either. But it's football so I'm here

I kind of like the classic stiff-arm cardinal logo for Louisville. Not sure if I'd make it a permanent change but it's a sweet throwback look.

Sickos game for sure. I love it.

Navy has been so unlucky this game. Lots of small mistakes that are adding up. Thankfully these are fixable. Hoping they can come back and make it an interesting game

There are so many examples in this thread alone as to why this rule doesn't work.

SCUBA: the U is for "underwater" and the A is for "apparatus". We don't pronounce it "SC-uh-B-ahhh".
JPEG: The P is for "photographic". We don't pronounce it "JayFeg".
LASER: The E is for "emission". We don't pronounce it "Lay-See-R".
RADAR: The second A is for "And" (lol). We don't pronounce it "Ray-Day-R".

The easiest "rule" is just the guy who made it up can dictate how they want it spelled and to pronounce. The word is made up anyway, and isn't subject to rules that actual English words have been subjected to for however long the language evolved.

Say the word "though" in your head. Then add a "t" to it. Would you really argue that "though" and "thought" are pronounced the same simply because they're the same spelling save for a final "t"?

The easiest "rule" is that the creator can decide how to pronounce and spell it lol. Taking English rules that don't even apply 100% of the time to its own words and trying to hold made-up words to the same standards just sounds silly to me haha
