I am most assuredly not. I do appreciate some of their coaches and programs but the incessant self-promotion and intellectual dishonesty makes me root against them in aggregate

But there is only 1 top tier B1G team.. and OSU is in the playoff's so what's your point.

No/Yes

the outcome was correct/the specifics of the call were wrong

and the game goes on

If the wrong guy was ejected using your utopian officiating position how could it be the correct outcome?

It isn't that it couldn't technically be called targeting, it is that the way the rule is written is stupid. 6'1" Wade cannot drop his head and hit 6'6" Lawrence helmet to helmet unless Lawrence ducked into the hit.

Sometimes when two guys are running really fast at each other their heads are going to clash. They should wear helmets. Yes he should have kept his face up, but the rule sucks.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Lets just see how the second half plays out here. Who wins the battle of the locker rooms in terms of coaching adjustments? Which team responds the best.

This is good elite college football my vociferous friend

lets enjoy it

I like the rule in principle actually. The application in this instance was absolute horseshit

Cluck cluck cluck.

The good news is that even if OSU loses my life (minus this fucking flu) has been going really well lately.

The bad news is that even if OSU wins they expect me to go to work Monday.

It would be easier for me to be nonchalant about it if OSU hadn't shown so poorly the last 2 times in the playoffs.

That would be quack quack

Roughing the kicker

Eyeroll emoji

not going to find an argument from me on this, hence my multiple statements to the effect of "the way the rule is currently written"

That was a bullshit call. The guy barely even touched him, maybe with his pinkie finger.

Did you see him on the sidelines?

Did you read his texts or letters to his mother, girlfriend, counselor. He could be plenty shaken up over this.

Steve

No, that was stupid. The guy who almost got the block missed the kicker. Then the other dude comes in and hits him. OSU is trying really hard to lose this.

Clemson starting to make it look like defense is optional in the Big 10 as well. going downhill fast.

I know. I was just trying to channel my inner Windywave. I even took a sip of listerine to emulate drinking two bottles of Zima.

Got a ball game now. That’s the way you beat an aggressive D. Thanks for the assist OSU.

When there is an ensuing punt from Clemson and it's a poor one---i am going to refer back to Windy's heartless heartless characterization of this previous play.

Steve

haha...i almost woke my wife up with the hearty belly laugh

oh hell. Put windy on suicide watch

I don't see how they can overturn the call on the field on that one. I would have said the same thing if they called it incomplete. way too close to overturn.

Well, he only took 3 steps. I don't know what a catch is any more.

Plenty of football time left. Plenty of good football left

Windy can go on a ventilator

these are two good teams--well matched.

Steve

Yup. I take solace in the fact either team can roll LSU
