Why do they blow a train horn?

Plenty of time for Storm Johnson and Co.

Reading that article, it sounds like me that Grambling needs to become a strictly academic university. Sad.

 

[Christo]

WTH is it with some players? Picking up 2 extra yards isn't worth the time you lose. GET OUT OF BOUNDS!

they are going under.

Just reading a little about Eddie Robinson's history at Grambling on Wiki. Crazy.

In 1941, the 22-year-old Robinson assumed his duties as head football coach at Grambling State. The days of assistant coaches, offensive and defensive coordinators, and specialty coaches were long in the future, so Robinson did everything: He taught offense and defense, mowed the football field, fixed sandwiches for road trips through towns that would not serve blacks in restaurants, taped his players' sore joints, and even wrote game stories for the newspapers.

Eddie Robinson held several jobs other than football coach, including teaching at Grambling High School, and coaching the girls' basketball team during World War II. His girls team lost the state championship by 1 point. He also coached boys' basketball, baseball, directed band and was in charge of the cheerleaders, with a budget of $46.

UCF on the Louisville 19. :46 to go. Down by 4.

 

[MAC_32]

Why isn't Louisville using timeouts?

 

[MoveToSkypager]

ESPN has the game if anyone wants to see this. UCF on the Lousiville 5. 2nd down.

 

[Raider Nation]

WHY RACE TO CALL A TIMEOUT WITH 0:27 LEFT???

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Why isn't Louisville using timeouts?

They think they're going to stop them.

 

[Battles]

Why spike it on the 5 yard line with a TO left? 3 plays an a TO or 4 plays without. I go with 4 throws into the end zone all day long.

 

[Slapdash]

Nice!

 

[MAC_32]

Why isn't Louisville using timeouts?

whoops.They think they're going to stop them.

 

[Raider Nation]

And.... now you have left Teddy PLENTY of time to tie it up. Supremely dumb!!!

 

[BigJohn]

Wow

 

[fasteddie_21]

Um, defense is really hard for Louisville. Isn't Charlie Strong a defensive guy?

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Don't have time for a play and a FG.

 

[Slapdash]

And.... now you have left Teddy PLENTY of time to tie it up. Supremely dumb!!!

Teddy hasn't managed the clock well here either.

 

[fasteddie_21]

Millions of dollars in a BCS game lost tonight. Ouch.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

That run burned up too much time even with Teddy getting OOB.

 

[Steve Tasker]

O'Leary does it again!

 

[Christo]

Another undefeated bites the dust.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

That was L'ville's homecoming? oof

 

[Abraham]

The grambling players are protesting mold in the locker room and having to take buses on 600 mile game trips. For reference, 600 miles is the distance from Dallas to St. Louis.

 

[Abraham]

Um, defense is really hard for Louisville. Isn't Charlie Strong a defensive guy?

Tonight he's probably pretty defensive about not taking the Tennessee job for 3 million a year.

they left at 6 pm and got to Indy at 9 am, can't expect athletes to perform putting them through that.

 

[Christo]

George has some serious Gin Blossoms.

 

[Slapdash]

UCF is a solid team, wouldn't be surprised to see them get the bid from whatever this conference is. O'Leary has some talent t on that offense. They were probably unlucky not to beat SC a few weeks ago.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

It's funny how often defensive coordinators end up having better offenses than defenses once they become head coaches.

Always welcome back at South Carolina whenever Spurrier decides to really focus on that golf game.

He makes more at Louisville anyway

Beef O' Brady bound!

 

[gump]

Cap - what do you know about Jacob Coker? Rumor is he's transferring to Alabama this spring to take over after McCarron...supposedly Jimbo says he has a top level NFL arm.

Huge arm, quick feet, lost to Jameis by a nose hair and that wasn't pandering to Coker either to make him feel good. It was a legit race all summer. Definite NFL prospect. Knowing what we know now about Jameis that's pretty impressive. I hope he gets to transfer and it would be awesome of Jimbo to let him to to a school like Bama but I would be shocked. Gotta think the Noles figure their best title shot is next year and that's the definition of beefing up the opponent.

Edit: Unless he is graduating early and can freely leave. I haven't kept up on if he can. Only his second year at the school I believe so that would be moving quick.

I think he graduates in December.

 

[prefontaine]

I'll add in Friday's UCF @ Louisville (this may be Louisville's toughest game this year) - take UCF and points

 

[MAC_32]

A lot of potential upsets today, should be a fun day

 

[scottybo]

Nice call.

 

[gump]

What the heck just happened on Gameday with Bill Murray?

 

[Premier]

Syracuse - Georgia Tech is a conference game today.

 

[Slapdash]

So sick of this ejection on hits above the shoulders BS.

 

[jurb26]

Very nice call.

 

[BigJohn]

So sick of this ejection on hits above the shoulders BS.

Was used correctly, by definition.

IMO, should be the second offense that carries an ejection.

 

[GeauxTigers]

Terrible targeting call against S Carolina and it was upheld. This targeting crap is becoming ridiculous. If you dont want to get hit, dont play football.

 

[Slapdash]

Sure, I just find it ridiculous that people can be ejected for it. I understand why it should be a penalty (but should be reviewable).

 

[bosoxs45]

I think UNLV has a good chance to upset #17 Fresno State.

Potential shoot out.

 

[GeauxTigers]

Jeez! Another possible ejection in Florida game to Hargraves on the 1st play of the game! And it stands!

 

[BigJohn]

2 ejections so far and they were both correct calls. Not sure what you are watching GT, but they were both absolutely targeting.

 

[BigJohn]

BTW, beautiful pass by Mauk.

 

[Slapdash]

@Big John: You shouldn't be able to eject people for hits like that. This isn't soccer.

 

[BigJohn]

You shouldn't be able to object people for hits like that. This isn't soccer.

Look. It is what it is. These kids know these rules and still they hit like this.

I still think they should get 2 penalties before they get ejected.

 

[GeauxTigers]

I know they were the correct calls. I just hate the rule.

 

[BigJohn]

@Big John: You shouldn't be able to eject people for hits like that. This isn't soccer.

You get one penalty, sure it could have been unintentional. Second time shows malicious intent and ejection is absolutely deserved.
