Week 3 / Bye Week Games Thread

FIU and Tech tied at 14. Tech is not good.

 

[Eight]

I bet most fans would appreciate doing away with kicking for an extra point, having instead the two point conversion attempt count as the one point. That would encourage more focus on the running game with big uglies, which I enjoy.

why?

Like when a base runner gets picked off and the next guy hits a HR and everyone says the pickoff cost them a run. Don’t get me started.

I understand the larger point, but that example seems bad. A pickoff right before a home run always costs you a run, unless you think the missing baserunner makes the HR more likely.

Is it still Brian Jensen and the guy that's been doing their games for 45 years.

No idea.

That didn’t age well.

Question for the board: is the Longhorn Network non- HD only in your area?

 

[Pharm Frog]

I thought pass interference in college was a 15 yard penalty. In the Penn State game they just said the ball would be placed at the spot of the foul. Am I missing something here?

Was the foul inside 15 yards from the LOS?

EDIT: I see FrogCoach got there first. I'm just catching up on the thread

SMU will need a lot more than ‘blind luck’ when they set foot on the

hallowed grounds of the Carter next Saturday….tick, tick, tick….

The second the pickoff happens literally EVERYTHING after that is different than it otherwise would have been. You can’t just assume the batter would have still hit the HR if the runner hadn’t been picked off.

Refs just darned up the downs against Penn State. Said it was 4th when it was 3rd down. Then got together and still got it wrong.

So Tech being ahead of FIU makes them good? I’m pretty comfortable with the observation of this Tech team being real mediocre at best regardless of the score of this game.

I think it is a type of natural law, like gravity, that dictates that after a pickoff, the batter gets a hit of some kind.

UT lost to that.

Anyone watching this Mets-Phillies game on Fox?

reminds me of the Tech game in 2012

It's really hard to watch these blue Boise boys on their dumba$$ blue football field.

K.

In my mind, the pitcher should be more focused without a runner on base, so I think it's a bad example.

But you do you.

I'm just glad they aren't in the big 12...
