NCAA football, 2013-14

[MadBurgerMaker]

Okay, so after this, the whistle blew with :15 left.  ASU players then jumped on the ball (like it was a fumble) with :12 left, then after they got them off at :04, the ref kept Wisconsin from being able to snap the ball until there was (less than, because it hit one then he moved back) :01 on the clock.  Hosed.

[Berkut]

Well, I think the ASU players can legitimately say they thought there was a fumble, it certainly looked like it.

What a mess. Why was he taking a knee anyway? Why didn't they just spike it or do whatever it was they were trying to do on the next play? 14 seconds is pretty close to be trying shit like centering the ball.

[MadBurgerMaker]

I think they were trying to center it, then spike it, then kick the FG.  Spiking doesn't move the spot, right?

[Scipio]

Horns losing.

UTSA winning.

WTF

Hey I think I like the "ARIZONA" cut into the grass or whatever on the field there.  Kinda cool. 

Hotty Toddy, Mack Brown.  Time to retire and grow that pony tail you've always wanted.

Why are you being such a douchebag?

Fuck you, jerkoff.

Burger does get a bit too intense over his football.

Yeah, but...[spoiler]it's just UTSA[/spoiler].

  Okay dude, whatever.  Arizona is awesome.  You are awesome.  You are right, and all the guys on the TV box are wrong.  There is no way it could have been 23-14 at the half.  Try not to stroke out about it, okay?  I'm mildly worried about what is going to happen to you when Arizona plays non directional school.

Why are you being such a douchebag?

I never said Arizona was awesome, I said they easily handled UTSA. Unless UTSA has some amazing offense, that doesn't make Arizona awesome.

The talking heads who are paid to blab were wrong. That is ok - they often are. Not agreeing with them doesn't make me delusional. They are paid to blab, and they have to say something, and in this case what they said was simply bullshit. As I've shown with actual stats and figures and such.

Why this is worthy of you getting your feelings all hurt about I do not know. It's not like anyone expected UTSA to go to Arizona and have a real shot. The game went pretty much as expected, right?

This is just the way MBM rolls.  Remember earlier when I pointed out that the Big 12 lost 4 teams, and he went all "you motherfucker" on me?  Ignore it.  He is rational most of the time, which makes him the exception here.

Wyoming played the University of Northern Colorado Bears on a rainy, flooded day in Laramie.  Wyo came out slowly, but soon built up a lead.  The star QB rolled his ankle on the third play, but still there were almost 500 yards of offense and two pick sixes.  Final score: 35-7 Wyoming (covering the spread) and moved to 2-1 with that only loss being the 3 pointer in Lincoln...

...and Wyoming fans are upset.  This was a team that was 0-4 last year after losing to a Iaa school.  This was a team that couldn't find their asses last year, the 117th ranked defense...

Well, it is a reminder that fan is short for fanatic.

Thanks sbr.

No problemo.

How did the game go, looked like USTA kept it close.

Hey, call me a douchebag on Tuesday and see what happens.  I don't need to have big conversations about something some dudes on a network halftime show said. 

Yeah, but...it's just UTSA.  

  They can actually play some winnable games now (and still lose).  Houston is their last OOC game.

You didn't point out the Big 12 lost four teams.  You pointed out that you didn't know about the Grant of Rights. 

<----My avatar thing over there has a scroll bar now.  Or it does for me.

You didn't point out the Big 12 lost four teams.  You pointed out that you didn't know about the Grant of Rights. 

  Still playing that losing hand, eh?  Given that the Big Ten has used the Grant of Rights for decades now, and it has been discussed on B10 boards by knowledgeable posters for years now, I'd guess I know more about it than someone who didn't know the term two years ago!

But go ahead and insist that you are right in spite of the evidence.  And throw in the ad homs, because they are amusing.

No one said you didn't know about GoR's in general, just that you didn't know about the fact that the Big 12 had one.  It was pretty obvious that you didn't.  Because if you did, you wouldn't have said what you did, because it didn't make even a little bit of sense in that context.  You were insisting that some teams might still leave the Big 12.   If you knew about the GoR, you'd have known that this would mean they would lose the rights to their TV $$ for the length of the GoR.   Yep.  That's going to happen.  DIDN'T WANT THAT $20+ MILLION ANYWAY!  The entire conference would have to dissolve to get out of it.  You didn't say that either though, of course.  You didn't say that because you didn't know there was one.  You did start talking about the conference TV rights like they were the same as they had been when the four teams left though.  Again, this was because you didn't know they weren't because of the new GoR they had just signed.  You know it's okay to not know everything, right?  Like, it's not a big deal that you didn't know about the Big 12 GoR.  You can admit it and it would be fine.

I suppose I've always known the order of magnitude, but it just struck me how small the AP panel is.
