re: NCAA Regulation - degree progress
Posted by DocBugbear on 1/17/25 at 7:09 pm
I seems clear that the only way forward to clean up all the issues with transfers and NIL is to have a collective bargaining agreement, and for that to happen, the players will have to be considered employees rather than students. At that point, I'm not sure it's even going to matter if they are at
re: Kelly and O are better coaches then Freeman
Posted by DocBugbear on 1/12/25 at 1:17 pm
Most people are being a bit myopic here and not seeing the forest for the trees. When Kelly left, Notre Dame was not doing the things it needed to do to compete at the highest level. They simply wouldn't pay for it. However, once he left, it was a black eye. So they started making changes. Free

It’s just to the point where these games are so pointless. This is the roster for one game. It’s after all of the players leave and before the new ones come. It’s just so fricking pointless.

That is certainly what happened. In addition, a pipeline was established to funnel profits from the opium trade into a black market NIL fund, and a computer virus was entered into the school computer system that will up tuition and ticket prices by a dollar to skim away later. This will fund his g
re: Is defensive line a strength next year?
Posted by DocBugbear on 12/22/24 at 3:07 pm
Hopefully there's enough depth that we don't shy away from contact in the preseason over fear of injuries. It would be good if we were ready to tackle in game one.
re: Something seems to have changed with BK

Seems more like there's 2 different versions of Brian Kelly. There's comfortable/cocky Brian Kelly, and he makes some bonehead decisions (like hiring Matt House). Then there's embattled/hot seat Brian Kelly, and he makes magificent decisions to try to save his arse (like the defensive staff from a y

Be hilarious if Sharp can complete a pass against OU next year.

You'd still have hurry up drills, but they'd only happen when teams are behind. They just wouldn't happen in tie games.
re: The Overtime Rules Are Stupid
Posted by DocBugbear on 12/7/24 at 7:52 pm
That is a good point. While I think it unlikely that neither team can score for 15 minutes, it does happen. So, in some rare cases it could continue for quite a long time.

Because the game doesn't change on a coin flip. Everyone knows that the game will continue if it ends tied, and if it does and you are in a tough situation because your tied it up late, that is the situation you put yours

Your fate doesn’t rely on a coin flip in college. They both get possessions. In the NFL maybe but you still have to move the length of the field
So, the team that wins the toss and always elects to go on defense first doesn't have a significant advantage?

Theoretically, you could. But as one teams starts with possession in the first half, It seems unneeded.

It's fair because your fate doesn't rely on a coin flip. Your fate is based on what you did in the 2nd half. You start exactly where the 4th quarter ended. If you have it first and 10 from your
The Overtime Rules Are Stupid
Posted by DocBugbear on 12/7/24 at 6:49 pm
I think they need to skip the coinflip, and let them play sudden death from the same spot where the game ended. You still take a stoppage like you do between quarters, but you don't change possession or where the ball is placed.
If you kick a FG as time expires, then you are kicking off to start

re: Is it too much to expect LSU football to be in the 12 team playoff every year?
Posted by DocBugbear on 12/6/24 at 6:05 pm
You know... I suspect that if LSU was in the playoffs each and every year, they would never win. I'd rather them be in the playoffs every other year and win it every 4. Somehow that seems reasonable even though it's a little greedy.
