Pitt down to their 3rd string QB 

@BehlerDavis: 3rd String QB Davis Beville is now QB1 for Pitt after Nick Patti went down with an injury. Can he do the unthinkable and carry Pitt to the Dub?🍑

I like the bowl games even though they're totally meaningless.  That said, I 100% agree with any player skipping a non-playoff bowl for draft reasons.

I’ll take meaningless football over no football every day. If there was an expanded playoff and no bowls, wouldn’t that result in less football in total?

In NCAA basketball, if I have the time I’ll watch a play in game and NIT games.

 
Any game is good as long as it's competitive. I just have no patience for games where one team is completely out matched right from the start.

Ref had no reason, (or did he???), to call progress had been stopped. And you know it.  That was not even close to the type of situation where that is warranted - shouldn't even have been considered.  Progress being stopped is called for saving a QB from injury, 5 players pushing a WR back 3 yards, etc... Not when a RB is leaning FORWARD, reaching for the goal line.

And why and when did they rule it "progress being stopped"?  Only after replay showed the whistle had been blown AFTER he crossed.  It was clearly to cover the mistake.

But what's really weird to me is that you are loving winning like that, like actually celebrating that part.  I mean you're going all Johnnie Cochran about it, instead of just admitting it was wrong and then just finding other reasons your team deserved the win anyway.

Wouldn't (or shouldn't) have mattered.  Should have been a penalty.

Rule 9, Section 3: Interfering for or Helping the Ball Carrier or Passer 

ARTICLE 2.

b. The ball carrier shall not grasp a teammate; and no other teammate shall grasp, pull, or lift the ball carrier to assist in forward progress. (A.R. 9-3-2-I)

PENALTY—Five yards [S44].

Can push. But his teammate started to pull him before he attempted to reach to cross the plane.

I figured you were having a little fun with it but had to make sure.  Did not seem like the same poster / person I kind of figured you were, at all.

Good, so I'm still a big fan.  However, I can't say I wouldn't be watching your every shot if we played a round of golf!   :lmao:

Oh look, it's Johnnie Cochran Jr!  With a huge Purdue logo, neat!

Congrats, you dug seep for some obscure rule that is never called (and debatable in this instance, at best), to make your flawed win legit for you?  Does that somehow give you an excuse over a terrible call (two actually)?  Weird take.

If it makes you feel better about "winning", that's you, but don't expect anybody but you to buy that BS.  What a reach.

Gross bias.

 
Who is the horrific commentator ESPN has on the pitt/mich st game. Trying to be Chris berman with stupid quips. But it is espn, so you really don't need to know anything about sports to get a job there.

That'll be on SVP for sure.

I have not been that lucky in awhile.  Doubled-down twice in-game, after laying the 8.  DUMB.  I was happy to just get 1/3 of my money back on that first 2nd half TD (MSU was +5 1/2, when trailing 21-10).  But needed the 2-pointer to win the other in-game bet (MSU -2 1/2, at halftime), by the hook.  LUCKY!

But the pick 6 to complete the trifecta was one for the books.

WOW, a ref throws a flag for ASU lining up in the neutral zone, effectively ending the game (and Wisconsin's chance at covering with an easy field goal inside the 10).  This was on 3rd down and they didn't get it so it would've been 4th and 3. 

Game was in Vegas, btw, only fitting.  I mean, you can throw that flag on SO many plays, what a very interesting time to do it.

More SVP bad beat material here, btw.

Also, ####### Herm Edwards didn’t realize that his ONLY chance of winning was getting the ball back.  YOU HAVE TO LET Whisky score once they were given that first down.  At least give your team a chance to drive for a TD vs the prevent D and hope for the onside kick recovery.  It is your only real chance at that point of winning the game.  

So dumb, but not surprising in the least, coming from Herm.

Progress was stopped, then started when Vol player started pulling.

Vols player trying to pull runner across goal line should be illegal as well.

did you get permission to post this you will probably get yelled at now take that to the bank brohan

 
Look for Bama to flip back to old school, slow it down vs the tempo they added for UGA…the Cincy D should be ripe for the run without help from the safeties..then take it up top after the run proves too tough for the Cincy scheme to stop.

Cincy will need to keep it up tempo on O I think, and be good on 1st down. Which won’t be easy vs the Bama edge rushers and Anderson.

gotta be at least three, maybe four hundred people in the stands for the Sun Bowl

Sun Bowl - along with the Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl, second oldest bowl (Rose being the granddaddy)

Central hasn’t beaten a Power 5 since 2912

hoping Lew Nichols III and Khalil Pimpleton gave good games 

#fireupchips

that’s all I got

 
Central rolled in on buses from Tucson yesterday - about the same distance as a MAC road game

since the bowl committee had been planning everything for a year & they were already booked, they kept all the Sun Bowl events (golf, dinners, et al) and were great to everyone there. the university has about 300 here there and a similar number of alumni bought a weeklong package. only additional cost was another $47 for today’s ticket (have some friends & family there)

Nichols III #7 & Pimpleton #88 are the ones to watch 

also, both OT are top 20 in next year’s class & will be drafted - #76 is a 6’7” 305 All American from Austria (Bernhard Raimann) should be a Day 2 pick

they’re kind of over their heads here I think

I've been complaining about Griffin through the season.  He's the WORST.  And his cornball buddy Mark Jones just enables him.  Together they are commentating poison.

going their way so far

kind of disappointed in Nichols getting stopped on short yardage (3x) but he’s got some speed to get to the edge 

he can declare fir the draft or stay three more years (pandemic 2x redshirt Freshman) - wonder if he might benefit from another year

Pimpleton will get a look at the next level as a returner but he looks too little (listed 5’9” 175 but he might be shorter)

Apparently never notified NCSU of any issue prior.  There should be some financial accountability to this and payments to the other team.

From ESPN:

"Felt lied to, to be honest," Doeren said. "We felt like UCLA probably knew something was going on, didn't tell anybody on our side. We had no clue they were up against that. I don't feel like it was very well handled from their university. It would have been great to have had a heads-up two or three days ago so we could have found a Plan B. Disappointing."

From NC State coach Dave Doeren blasts NCAA, UCLA over handling of Holiday Bowl cancellation:

The NCAA recently announced that it will not count the Holiday Bowl as a 10th win for NC State, though the Wolfpack were not allowed to play due to COVID-19 complications surrounding UCLA’s football program. NC State coach Dave Doeren, who has been outspoken about his feelings on the handling of the whole situation, could not care less what the NCAA thinks.

He spoke with the media Wednesday night as his team arrived back in Raleigh and had a blistering response to the NCAA’s refusal to count the game.

“The NCAA stands for ‘No Clue At All’ in my opinion so I don’t really care what they say about it,” Doeren said. “For our guys, like I said we took a roster of guys down there and had zero COVID issues. Practiced everyday. Did everything right and didn’t get a chance to play the game. As far as I’m concerned we did beat them. They couldn’t even get to the field. You can say whatever you want but if you look at the College Football Playoff definition, what’s going to happen if that happens in one of their games? That team’s forfeiting. So I feel like we’re following the same guidelines that those ballgames are going to follow.”

Doeren also said that he felt “back-stabbed” by the way UCLA handled the cancellations.

“Not playing the game hurt,” Doeren said. “But not playing because the team we’re playing didn’t tell us what was going on and backed out right before the kick hurt worse. If we would have known they were having all these issues and hey this may happen and give us a chance to find an opponent, then that’s just what it is. It wasn’t handled like that. It hurts we didn’t play. It hurts more that we kind of felt like we got stabbed in the back on that deal. To be that far from home — our kids not able to be with their families on Christmas and then lose a game because a team doesn’t want to do things right. It’s tough, you know? Our guys handled it about as best they could. Everyone was upset, including me. I told them, there’s some things in life that aren’t fair.”

finshed the year strong - last 5 games he had 981 rushing  + 12 TDs

36 receptions this year

5’10” 220 & 4.5 speed (3 years ago), good vertical, had gained 25 pounds of muscle since 2018

whenever he comes out I think he’ll do well at his combine/pro day, very good athlete

I didn't know he was that big.

There's already been a few times when he's been caught up in trash that I was impressed with his ability to step out of it. Got a little heat coming out of those moves, too.

He may never be a stud pro, but I bet he sticks around the NFL awhile.

 
nice PR

Pimpleton had 2 TDs & averaged 20.3 on punts

WSU having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day so far 

TD Chippewas 2 point conversion 21-0
