2020 “Other” Bowl Games

[LVH]

Are we all just pretending these Dos Equis commercials aren’t written by 3rd graders?

I'd rather see those than all of these "in these trying times lets come together" commercials (i.e. the AT&T one), or the racial justice commercials

Each time one of those "lets come together" or racial justice commercials came on at Circa today the whole place collectively sighed

Nothing but vanilla ESPN ads on ESPNU. Very generic broadcast. No announcers, NO HOMER HERBIE!! Just football!!!

It's still just in the 1st qtr, but nothing I've seen so far leads me to think either Clemson or Ohio St have any prayer of holding Alabama's offense under 45.

At least these two teams should be able to score some themselves.

 

[Frog-in-law1995]

Yikes. Bye, Fields.

Broken rib for Ohio State QB?

Targeting? That was just a good old fashioned 'stick'. Shoulder to rib.

You can hear Ohio State fans whining on ESPNU with no announcers.

Definitely led with crown of his head. No reason why he couldn't have squared up Fields.

that is not targeting

fields spun into the headgear trying to avoid the hit. brutal call

he did square up, but fields spun to the right when the player was already moving to make the tackle.

there is no way to readjust in that instance

 

[Frog-in-law1995]

Fields gonna be pissing blood tomorrow like he just went 12 rounds with Julio Cesar Chavez.

 

[Shorty]

0% that gets called targeting if Fields gets right up.

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as PhormerPhrog]

Yikes. Bye, Fields.

Ruptured spleen. Collapsed lung.

Wait...Fields with a Willis Reed.

Plenty of time to get his chin up.

The wussification of college football continues.

They need to only call targeting if it’s egregious. That was clearly not. BS call,

 

[Paul in uhh]

Today I learned you can get flagged for targeting even if you don’t hit the head

 

[PO Frog]

Great tackle if you’re hoping to paralyze yourself. Woof. Get your head up

 

[Wexahu]

That 'BIG 10 speed' (slow) can't hang with Clemson.

On ESPNU, its the sky cam view only. No announcers. All you can hear is some woman, an Ohio State fan, screaming 'lets go D!'. She's gone silent now that Clemson just scored.

It is very quiet in the Superdome.

This did not age well.

To add to the BS, it wasn't called on the field. It's not, or shouldn't be anyways, the booth's job to affect the game with their own penalty flag.

Totally agree but I'm not sure whether the rule allows for this type of discretion. I believe it's basically that if you end up leading with the crown of the helmet then it's a penalty and that's that. Stupid that it also includes an ejection.

I know some have said he needed to get his head up but when you're going in for a lower body type of tackle then your head is almost always going to naturally drop like that. You basically have to fall down to your knees and just grab the ball carriers legs in that situation to ensure no targeting.

 

[OmniscienceFrog]

Wait, #10 hit Fields pretty hard. Let's review that!
