Public funding for sports stadiums is ridiculous and something I oppose but "While the state provides $3B in funding," Kansas isn't really giving $3 billion according to the article. The entire project is $3 billion with Kansas providing $1.8 billion. "The Chiefs will receive $1.8 billion in public funding for a new $3 billion stadium in Kansas — the largest public subsidy ever for a U.S. sports stadium project."

I hate this commercial more than any other out there right now. Her voice is nails on a chalkboard bad. I can't stand it.

Yes, to both.

Tulane got it all because of a "fake" Tulane injury, am I right Ole Miss fans?

Looks like Chambliss' too.

Brohm would be a great hire. He's a really good coach. The issue is he's at his alma mater so it will take a lot of money to get him to leave.

It absolutely does according to the rule. LINK

Let's say the WR was defenseless, what example in Note 1 did the Miami player do?

Targeting and Making Forcible Contact to Head or Neck Area of a Defenseless Player
..."This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul (Rules 2-27-14 and 9-6). (A.R. 9-1-4-I-VI)

Note 1: "Targeting" means that a player takes aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball. Some indicators of targeting include but are not limited to:

Launch-a player leaving his feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make forcible contact in the head or neck area
A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area, even though one or both feet are still on the ground
Leading with helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area
Lowering the head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet"

Note 1 = Leading with helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area

"It seems that some officials have been interpreting the crown of the helmet to mean the tip-top portion of the helmet only," NCAA Football Secretary-Rules Editor Rogers Redding said in a release. "We want everyone to understand that the crown of the helmet starts from the area above the facemask to the dome of the helmet."".""

Show me the replay where even the top of the Miami players facemask hit first.

But he was, so why wasn’t it targeting?

---

Without getting into anything else the easy answer is because refs who have been conditioned to throw a flag for targeting for any hit even close to running afoul of the rule didn't throw a flag here. Refs are flag happy they will throw one for targeting then go to replay 99/100 times.

The long answer is it wasn't targeting is because, according to the SEC website, "Targeting' means that a player takes aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball.”" LINK

I'm not going to quote the entire website but please look at the actual rule and the replay and tell me where it was targeting based on the play

No.

Concussions result from a blow to the head.

A. If he calls to the turf and hits his head that’s also a blow to the head.

B. If he hits helmet on a knee also a concussion.

C. If he hits helmet on another helmet also a concussion.

C is what happened

Go clip that play and post it. It was not targeting. Even if he hit him in the head it doesn't mean it's automatically targeting. Stop being a pansy because your team lost.
