NCAA Football '12-13

I can see it statistically when you're inside, say five yards of the marker. But if you're backed out of position with something like a 4th and 20, the odds have to be against you there. I can see an "always go for it in short yardage situations" strategy maybe.

4th and 30 from the 2 yard line.  OMG Stat nerds say we should go fer it!

Maybe not when you're at your own 2 yard line.  But I can see how if you're at midfield it might make more sense to go for it on 4th down, even if it is 4th and 10.

Notice I said might - I haven't run the numbers myself.  But those midfield punts almost always seem to end up with the other team back in the same position within a few plays.  Plus there's always the small chance of a punt return coming back for a touchdown.

I was watching Sports Center, and got a major Urban Meyer boner.

I wish the damn season would hurry up and start. Dammit.

ND sucks. Timmay Taint doesn't wash off.

Oh god the helmets...

Dear Lord.

Idaho going indy in football, Big Sky for everything else.  The WAC might be done as a conference period, instead of just as a football conference.

Oh, speaking of new uniforms....for PDH:

CYO would be more appropriate to the talent level.

Watching a replay of the 2009 Oregon Arizona football game on pac-12 network.  This was a great game, double ot iirc.

Doesn't seem to be on DirecTV yet, and I can't watch it online unless I have Cox, TWC (not happening ever), or Brighthouse.  Annoying.

Was that the one that the students rushed the field when it looked like Arizona had won, and then they scored to push it into OT?

That was an amazing game, right up until the part where the good guys lost and the Nike-U won.

Dead God - ND has absolutely iconic helmets.  Why fuck with those?
